constant speed.

visible obstructions of the air inlet.
Remove any obstruction or use a vacuum or soft cloth to remove any build up of
dust that may be present.
NOTE: Ensure the Fan Heater is not placed too close to walls, curtains or
furniture, as it can restrict air flow, which can cause the Fan Heater to
overheat.
Safety Tip Over Switch
The Fan Heater is fitted with a safety tip over switch which will
automatically switch off the Fan Heater if it is tipped over.
Always ensure that the Fan Heater is placed on a flat stable surface when in
use.
NOTE: When moving the Fan Heater you may hear a knocking sound.
This is the sound of the tip over switch and is normal. It is a safety feature
and not a product fault.
