Sunbeam's Total Safety System

Safety auto shut-off
Your Sunbeam Convection Plus Heater is
equipped with a safety system that detects
any abnormally high temperatures within the
heater and automatically cuts power to the
heating element, preventing overheating.
Once the heater has cooled it will
automatically resume normal operation.
Thermal back-up fuse
In addition to this automatic shut-off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If the
heater is in an overheat situation, the back-
up fuse will open, stopping the power flow
to the heating element. This fuse cannot
be reset, so in the event that the back-up
fuse is activated, the heater will need to be
replaced.
Instant tip-over cut-out
Your Sunbeam Convection Plus Heater is also
equipped with an instant tip over cut-out
switch. This switch automatically interrupts
the power flow to the heating element when
the heater is tilted to a certain angle. If
the heater is tipped over, it will not turn on
until it has been placed back in the upright
position.
Note: The tip over cut-out switch will activate
when the heater is tilted forward, backward
or sideways. Care should be taken to ensure
your heater remains upright at all times.
