Troubleshooting
Heater does not turn on
Ensure the heater is securely plugged directly into a functioning wall socket. Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Verify the chosen heat setting is not 'Fan Only' if heat is expected.
Insufficient heating in a large area
Confirm the heater is set to the maximum heat setting (2800W) and the thermostat is set appropriately higher than the ambient temperature. Consider adding additional greenhouse insulation to improve heat retention. Ensure the coverage area of 28m² is not exceeded.
Fan not working
Select the 'Fan only' setting or a heat setting that includes fan operation. Check if any vents are obstructed. If the fan remains inoperative, contact customer support.
Heater switches off unexpectedly
Check if the thermostat setting has been reached. Allow the unit to cool down if it has been running continuously on a high setting, as it may have an overheat protection mechanism. Ensure vents are clear.
