Air flow will only start when you remove the nuit from the cradle. | |||
WARNING! Do NOT switch the unit off at the wall when it is still hot otherwise you will destroy the unit. To move the unit, switch off on the front panel and wait until the fan stops and the lights switch off. | |||
The hot air element is said to be easily burnt out at low airflow rates. Presumably the temperature control is not fast enough to turn the heater off in time. Please be careful, especially at low airflow / high heat settings to avoid damage. | The hot air element is said to be easily burnt out at low airflow rates.
