Sunbeam’s Total Safety System  
Safety auto shut off  
Thermal back-up device  
Your Sunbeam Compact Oscillating Ceramic  
heater is equipped with a safety system that  
detects any abnormally high temperatures  
within the heater and automatically shuts it  
off to prevent overheating. If the heater is  
getting excessively hot, an alarm will sound.  
In addition to this automatic shut-off, your  
heater contains an over temperature thermal  
back-up device to provide additional back-  
up protection. If the heater is in an overheat  
situation, the back-up device will operate,  
stopping the power flow to the element and  
fan.  
Do not operate the heater with the alarm  
sounding. Immediately turn the heater off at  
the power outlet and check that there aren't  
any objects on or around the heater.  
In the event that the back-up device is  
activated, the heater will need to be reset.  
For instructions on how to reset your heater,  
see page 7.  
This first stage of the safety system requires  
the user to manually reset the heater for it to  
resume operation.  
For instructions on how to reset your heater,

Ceramic element  
The 1800 watt ceramic element is more  
efficient than other element types as it

Ceramic elements are also safer than other  
element types. They do not glow and operate  
at such low temperatures that they will not  
ignite even highly flammable materials such  
as tissue paper.
