   • If the Safer Plug cuts the power due to unsafe conditions it will show an “ Er ” message on the screen. If this occurs the Safer Plug has prevented a potentially unsafe condition.
   • To reset the device if this occurs, first allow the plug to cool down. Once the plug has cooled down, unplug the device and wait 5 seconds, then plug back in and continue to use normally.
   • If the Safer Plug continues to activate, your outlet may be faulty. Check your heater cord and plug connections. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the outlet or plug to overheat. Be sure the plug fits tight in the outlet. Heaters draw more current than small appliances.
   • Overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the use of other appliances. During use check frequently to determine if your plug outlet or faceplate is HOT! If so, discontinue use of the heater and have a qualified electrician check and/or replace the faulty outlet(s).
