How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and let the unit cool. Avoid touching hot surfaces during operation.

  • Check placement: Ensure at least 10 cm clearance around the appliance. Do not operate under low cabinets or in corners.
  • Inspect vents: Verify that all side, rear, and bottom vents are free of dust and obstructions. Clean with a soft brush or vacuum.
  • Check fan operation: Listen for strong airflow during use. If airflow seems weak, inspect the fan and motor for faults.
  • Inspect heat shields: Open the housing and confirm that metal heat shields and reflective panels are properly installed and not bent away from their intended positions.

Warning: Excessive external temperatures can be a fire risk. If the plastic housing shows signs of warping or discoloration, stop using the appliance.
