Resetting the Temperature Cutoff Switch
The heating assembly is protected with a safety device
to prevent overheating. Should the heating assembly
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 3-Position Switch to Off and waiting five
(5) minutes before switching the unit back on.
CAUTION: If the unit continuously cuts out, unplug the
unit and call customer service at 1-800-DIMPLEX.
! NOTE: The heating elements may emit a slight,

condition caused by initial heating of internal heater parts
and will not occur again.
