3. OPERATION
Should the Westinghouse WES31-1550 infrared radiator fall, a hidden switch will automatically switch it off: correct
operation of the switch is conditioned by the evenness of the surface the heater is placed on. Once the heater is back up
on a plane surface it will be ready to work again.
You can activate or deactivate the unit by pressing on the On/Off power button.
