What To Do
• Make sure the heater plug is pushed completely

• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
• If a power failure occurs, turn the heater off.
When power is restored, restart the heater.
• Allow the heater to cool, press the RESET button located
on the power cord plug and restart the heater.
• If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the heater and contact a qualified service technician.
• In LO heat or HI heat mode, press the Increase pad.
• When the power is restored, restart the heater.
• See the Tip-Over Switch (on some models) section.
• Allow the heater to cool, press the RESET button located
on the power cord plug and restart the heater.
• If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the heater and contact a qualified service technician.
• Use a vacuum cleaner, with a nozzle attachment, to remove
dust and dirt by passing it over the grille surface.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the inlet or outlet of the heater. Make sure
there is at least 3 feet (0.9 m) of space on all sides of
the unit.
• In LO heat or HI heat mode, press the Increase pad.
• When the heater is first turned on, you need to allow
time for the room to warm up.
• Check the position of the batteries. They should be
inserted in the opposite (+) and (–) direction.
• Replace the batteries.
• If the Timer was set before the power outage, it will
need to be reset after power is restored.
