Troubleshooting for your Heater
Probable Cause
Solution
✔ Set heater upright on a level surface.
✔ Follow reset instructions listed in this manual.
✔ Ensure plug is properly inserted. Make sure
electrical outlet and circuit breaker are working.
✔ Have outlet replaced by a licensed electrician.
✔ Turn Thermostat Control clockwise until the
heater restarts.
✔ Unplug the heater and remove all
obstructions. Position your heater 36" (0.9m)
away from all objects.
✔ Make sure no other high wattage appliances
are operating on the same circuit and reset
breaker if needed.
✔ Change setting to 2 (High Heat).
✔ Turn Thermostat Control clockwise until the
heater restarts.
✔ To make this occur less frequently adjust the
thermostat control clockwise to the highest
setting.
✔ Turn Mode Control to the 1 (Low Heat) or 2
(High Heat) setting.
✔ Run heater in the 2 setting (High Heat) for
maximum heat output.
✔ If the noise persists call Bionaire at
1-800-253-2764.
✔ This is normal and is the result of dust or
other debris accumulating on the heating
element. Make sure the heater is in a well
ventilated area and continue running until the
odor or vapor goes away.
