been activated. Allow the equipment restfor about 10 minutes. The operationresumes after that.

Is the total wattage consumption is 7A: 220to 240V / 12A: 115V or less?Is not the appliance used short-circuited?⇒Test this using a different apparatus.

A protection circuit to prevent abnormal overheatingof the inner mechanism due to continuous operation.When this device is activated, the equipment will notoperate temporarily.
