Overheat Safety Feature
This heater is equipped with a overheat safety feature. When the heaters internal components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheat and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off.
Auto-Lock Feature
Auto-lock can prevent children from changing settings on the heater. It can be set with the unit either power on, to prevent changes to the temperature or fan setting, or power off, to prevent turning the unit on. When locked, control panel and remote control failed to function.
NOTE:
It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.
CAUTION: Do not power off the heater using the main power switch or unplugging it, except in an emergency. A cool down period prevents damage to the heater before turning off the fan. By turning off the heater using the main power switch or unplugging it from the power source, it does not cool down properly.
