2.6  THERMAL SAFETY CUTOUT
The appliance is fitted with a thermal safety cutout, which 
operates if it overheats.  If this occurs you notice the 
heater is cold. If this happens:
•  Unplug and allow the heater to cool for 5 - 10 minutes
•  Check the air inlets/outlets for any obstruction and clear,
see Maintenance 
•  Plug in, switch on the fire and the cutout now re-sets
The appliance should function correctly again but if this is not 
the case: 
•  Unplug once more and have the fire checked by a
competent electrician
Please note that the safety cutout will activate when the 
fan heater is turned off. If the fan heater is turned back on 
immediately, you must wait 15 seconds before the heater 
warms the air.
