THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION

The Devil 2000PTC has a thermal cut out to prevent it from overheating.
If the temperature of the front grille gets too high the thermal cutout will turn off the heating elements. When the fan has cooled the unit sufficiently, normal operation will resume.

FAULTFINDING

Heater does not operate, although plugged in with the switch and thermostat switched on.| Plug is loose/bad connection.| Pull the plug out & check the connection of the plug and socket.
Fuse blown or circuit breaker trips.| Replace if necessary and investigate cause. If fuse blows repeatedly, consult your Clarke dealer.
No power at socket| Insert the plug in a functioning socket
Heating element glowing hot.| Input voltage too high.| Use a power supply in accordance with the rating on the label.
