Is it normal that the plastic shield is not attached to the heating part? I can't figure out how to get it on.

it should be attached. I recommend contacting the company because the whole head of the hair dryer was set in my package i just had to assemble the body and put it together

Wait just really read your question. My shield was attached. It came attached.

Yes. You have to put the Hood on the metal pole as far as it will go. It will stay. The pole is just to hold up the Hood that's all.

For future reference, You have to attach the plastic blue piece by using a the circle metal band. The band should attach the plastic shield to the heating piece.
448032
no, that is not normal. The clear plastic part should have come already attached to the black part of the dryer.

Mines came attached, not sure how to attach it. It should have come already attached, you may need to return it.

You should install the heat shield insulation with the fabric side adhered to the surface and the foil side exposed.

Under the sticker on the bottom there is a screw. I've replaced it with an SSD and it works fine. Quite a bit better in heat transfer now too as I added some heat transfer tape on topHowever this is not something to do regularly unless your handy

be sure to open the vent and cool for a couple of minutes - the food wiil remain hot. The clips on the plate I have are not difficult to open at all - however if steam builds up inside, the pressure could make them difficult to open. If the issue persists, I would contact Sistema and ask for a replacement

I know it says to put the liner on the bottom rack. I did not!! I placed it on the bottom of the oven itself. My heating element is not visible - but even if it were I would slide the liner under it. It seems to be working just fine.

There should be an electrical cord that runs the heating element. I can't see it in the picture. On my unit the rod that supports the heating element is aluminum and the grate is stainless steel. None can be seen in the picture.

Is the plastic piece on? I removed mine.. Maybe use a toothpick to clean the steam hole? Just guessing. Its a really basic mechanism

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

I thought the same thing , I did not remove plastic so the double sticky tape holds it on better. You really don't want Circuit board exposed on other side of heat sink. I got some industrial strength Velcro works great. I keep a check on the heat sink to see if it heats up to much. Been doing fine.

I started at the bottom and lifted the black rubber up. I gently pulled it off the bottom corners then slipped it off. I would try not to stretch it too much or it won't stay tight on the plastic when you put it back on.

Like everyone else is saying, you can simply peel it off. This is also useful for fixing a bad install. Although, I have gotten small particles under mine on install and now they're really embedded into the shield.

i switched to the Cuisinart for that very reason. the GF (after you remove the grilling plate) you'll notice a small centrally located heating element. The Cuisinart has one that covers the entire surface. The GF is a poor design unless you are cooking in dead center. and, even then, it seems to take forever to heat up. if you are getting NO heat then you obviously have a defective unit.

I agree wit the others.....sounds like your unit is missing the metal piece. Good luck!

Hi Mona, Make sure that the main unit or the charcoal filter inside is not in backwards I did this once and it drove me nuts late at night. I came back in the morning and found my problem. ALso the cover should slide without any resistance.

I just saw the other responses. Mine has a hole with a plastic piece that fits in if not using one. I just got mine a few weeks ago.

This is a picatiny rail installation system. You will most probably have to drill mounting holes on your heat shield. I had too. Otherwise this is a great package. Hope this helps.

A wire inside has come loose and it is not heating. This is an easy fix as heaters are very simple. 1. Unscrew the bottom 2. Look inside and slip the loose wire back onto the tab 3. Put the bottom back on 4. Happy sealing.
