2. 2
   Keep the appliance in a safe state and use only the external checks named in the official source.

Action details

Preventive maintenance

• 1
  Learn the model's normal indicators and control-lock sequence so a status message is not mistaken for a hardware fault
• 2
  Record a change in behavior rather than treating the normal Controller light flashing state itself as a maintenance fault
• 3
  Sunbeam heating pads supplied with the official non-detachable-controller family manual
• 4
  confirm the manual matches the product before applying these checks — Controller light flashing: store and operate only as specified by the matching official manual
