AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF WITH INSTANT TIP-OVER PROTECTION

This heater is equipped with a patented, technologically advanced, safety system that requires the user to reset the heater if there is a potential overheat situation.

1. Unplug the heater and wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool down.

2. After the 10 minutes, plug the unit in again and operate normally.

This cool down process ensures an accurate and consistent temperature reading.
