Sunbeam’s Total Safety System
Safety auto shut off
Thermal back-up fuse
Your Sunbeam Micro Furnace Heater is
equipped with a safety system that detects
any abnormally high temperatures within
the heater and automatically shuts it off to
prevent overheating. This first stage of the
safety system requires the user to manually
reset the heater for it to resume operation.
In addition to this automatic cut off, your
heater contains a thermal back-up fuse to
provide additional back-up protection. If
the heater is in an overheat situation, the
back-up fuse will open, stopping the power
flow to the ceramic heating discs and fan.
This fuse cannot be reset, so in the event
that the back-up fuse is activated, the
heater will need to be replaced.
For instructions on how to reset your
heater, see page 6.

Features of your 2000W
Micro Furnace heater
Electronic thermostat
The electronic thermostat works with the
external temperature sensor to maintain your
selected temperature. It constantly monitors
the room’s temperature and continuously
varies the heat output to maintain your
desired comfort level.
Ceramic disc heating system
Each ceramic disc contains 1200 honeycomb
shaped holes that heat all of the air that
passes through them, generating up to 40%
more warmth than conventional coil or
ceramic chip heaters.
External temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is located at the rear
of the unit, not inside the heater itself, to
ensure accurate temperature measurement.
It detects even the slightest change in the
room’s temperature, and communicates
this to the electronic thermostat.
Tip over cut-out
Should your heater accidentally be
knocked over, the instant tip over cut will
automatically interrupt power to the heating
element and fan. The heater will not resume
operation until it is replaced in the upright
position.
Power/Mode light
The power light illuminates amber to indicate
that the heater is connected to the power
outlet and is set to AUTO mode. It
