Sunbeam’s Total Safety System
Safety auto shut off
Thermal back-up fuse
Your Sunbeam Oscillating Digital Ceramic
Heater is equipped with a safety system
that detects any abnormally high
temperatures within the heater and
automatically shuts it off to prevent
overheating. This first stage of the safety
system requires the user to manually reset
the heater for it to resume operation.
In addition to this automatic cut off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If
the heater is in an overheat situation, the
back-up fuse will open, stopping the power
flow to the ceramic heating discs and fan.
This fuse cannot be reset, so in the event
that the back-up fuse is activated, the
heater will need to be replaced.
For instructions on how to reset your
heater, see page 8.
