Troubleshooting for your Heater
Probable Cause
☛ The thermostat automatically
turns the heater on and off
to maintain selected comfort
level.
☛ Every 10-15 minute the
heater turns on and runs for
a minute.
☛ When the heater is in
Thermostat Mode and
reaches the set temperature
it will automatically perform
a 15 second cool down
(blowing cold air) to ensure
thermostat accuracy.
☛ Unit is in the Fan Only
setting.
☛ Power Button may have
been pressed to turn off the
heater.
☛ Max Heat and Low Heat
settings control the heat
output of the heater and not
the fan speed. Fan runs at
the same speed on all
settings.
☛ You may hear a popping or
crackling sound as the
heater heats up. This is
normal and safe operation.
Once the heater heats up,
the crackling sound will go
away.
☛ There may be an odor or
vapor coming from the
heater the first time you use
it or after prolonged or
seasonal storage.
Solution
✔ To make this occur less frequently turn
the Dial Wheel right to the highest setting.
✔ This is normal operation to ensure the
heater is maintaining the room temp
accurately.
✔ Raise the temperature higher or change
setting to Low (1) or Max Heat (2).
✔ Press the Max Heat (2) or Low Heat (1)
Buttons.
✔ Press the Power Button to turn on the
heater.
✔ Run heater in Max Heat (2) for maximum
heat output.
✔ If the noise persists, please contact an
Authorized Service Center.
✔ This is normal and is the result of dust or
other debris accumulating on the heating
element. Make sure the heater is in a well
ventilated area and continue running until
the odor or vapor goes away.
