RESETTING THE TEMPERATURE CUTOFF SWITCH

Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut out will turn the heater off and it will not come
back on without being reset. It can be reset by switching the MAIN ON/OFF SWITCH to OFF
and waiting 5 minutes before switching the unit back on.

CAUTION

If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call Dimplex technical support
at 1-888-DIMPLEX (1-888-346-7539) Extension 4.

NOTE

The heater may emit a slight, harmless odor when first used. This odor is a normal condition
caused by initial heating of internal heater parts and will not occur again.
