What to do if it goes wrong

Problem
Why does my oil
filled radiator have
no power?
The LED lights above
the heat selector
switches are
not illuminating.
There is an
unfamiliar smell.
The turbo fan
is not working.
(2500w Model only)
CAUTION: Always unplug the your oil filled radiator before performing maintenance/troubleshooting checks.
Solution
• The plug may not be fully pushed into the electrical socket. Check the fuse
in the plug if this needs replacing, always replace with a 13amp British fuse.
• The appliance has not been switched on. Go to 'using your appliance'.
• The thermostat control dial is set too low. Gradually rotate the dial clockwise
until an audible 'click' is heard or select a preferred temperature on the
temperature control dial.
• The built-in overheating safety device has activated and switched
off the appliance. Unplug from the mains and allow to completely
cool down before re-trying.
• The 'Topple Over' device has activated, stand the appliance upright
on a flat, stable and heat resistant solid surface.
• The heat selector switch has not been activated. Go to 'Using your
appliance'.
• The LED lights will switch off once the required temperature
has been reached.
• When the appliance is first used it may produce an odour, this is due
to the lubricant used during manufacture. This odour will disappear
after approximately 30 minutes of use.
• The 24hr timer and thermostat must be on for the turbo fan to activate. Go to
'Using the turbo fan function'.
