Why is the top so hot?****

Due to the design of an air outlet at the upper end of the heater, hot air is discharged from this area. Therefore, it is important to ensure sufficient space above the heater for proper heat dissipation.

What can I do if my heater have a dusty smell?****

When starting up the heater, it is normal to experience a temporary smell of burning dust. This odor is due to the heating element and vents initially heating up after being unused for some time. However, this smell should dissipate relatively quickly as the heater continues to operate. If the odor persists or becomes excessive, it is advisable to cease using the heater and contact our customer service for further assistance.

What can I do if my heater have a burning smell?****

Turn off and unplug the heater immediately.
Assess if the smell is coming from the heater itself or another source.

Prioritize safety, and refrain from attempting to repair the heater on your own. Contact our customer service for further guidance.

Why my heater always have a smell when operating?****

(1) Dust accumulation: Clean the heater regularly to remove dust and debris from the surface and vents.
(2) Improper ventilation: Ensure the heater is placed in a well-ventilated area to allow proper airflow.
(3) If the odor persists or becomes excessive, it is advisable to cease using the heater and contact our customer service for further assistance.

Always hear a strange noise inside the heater when turning it on?****

The sound you hear is just the heater’s heating elements kicking in, which is completely normal. But if the sound persists throughout use, please contact us.

There is a different code on the display?****
