TROUBLESHOOTING & WARRANTY

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

IF THE HEATER/FAN FAILS TO OPERATE:

A) Check to make sure that the heater/fan is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely.

B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.

C) Check if electricity to the main power switch in the back of the unit appears to be working.

D) Make sure the heater is in the upright position.

NOTE: For the heater to function properly, the desired temperature on the heater must be set a few degrees higher than the temperature in the room. If the unit seems to not be heating properly, increase the desired temperature on the heater to fully engage the heating elements.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM, CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE HEATER/FAN YOURSELF.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use with an extension cord.

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE

It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet.

If the plug does not fit securely and appears loose, it should not be used.

Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.

OVERHEAT SAFETY FEATURE

This heater is equipped with a overheat safety feature. When the heater’s internal components reach a certain temperature that could cause overheating and possible fire, the heater will automatically shut off. If this should occur, please contact our Customer Satisfaction Center at 844-299-0879.

WARNING It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a different outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for damage.

TIP-OVER SAFETY FEATURE

This heater is equipped with a tip-over safety feature. Once the heater is tipped over, an internal switch will automatically shut the heater off. Once the heater is restored to an upright position, the heater will reset. To continue operation, turn heater back on.
