It has a little sensor at the bottom so if the Heater is not on a flat surface it will cut off.

No, it does not. I have come in on a Monday, to discover I left it on over a weekend, several times. That said, this has never caused a problem, for me. I haven't ever had anything located near it become overheated.

no - but it may shut off after 20 minutes of normal use ... read the reviews

Havn't had any problems, sounds like the door safety switch is not working, the turn table may be shut off

Well, the "E2" is the error code which means your cooktop is overheating. The unit turns off if the electronics inside get too hot to prevent damage to the components inside. Please make sure there is good air flow through the unit. Fissler has a small fan, which sucks air in from the bottom of the unit and discharges through the grill in the back. Usually the air is coming out of its back is pretty warm since it goes over the electronics inside to cool them off. So, if the grill on the bottom of the unit is blocked or the back of the unit is too close to the wall, then the fan can NOT efficiently circulate air through the unit to cool off the electronics inside. As a result, the unit will OVERHEAT and shuts off. Please make sure the bottom grill of your Fissler is clean (no cat/dog hair) and it is at least 10 inches from the back wall. Also, you can prop up the four bottom corners of the unit without blocking the bottom grill for better air flow through the unit. Please remember it is all about the heat inside the unit. That is the reason your Fissler shuts off. I am sure if you make sure the unit is away from the wall and its bottom is clean and/or prop the corners up about one inch or so, it will not overheat. Mine never overheats even when I use temp 430 to saut stuff for 10 minute or so. Please let me if you still have problem with it after making sure of the above. Thanks very much. Scott

Mine shut down from overheating too and it cools VERY well. The cooling does not seem to be the issue with this device. But the fan on mine broke after only a month. And the wire got caught in the fan. It's simply poorly designed. But cools very well.

We have not encountered this problem (knock on wood). Look up an owners manual?

Never have had that problem, would guess it is reacting to high SWR or possibly an heat issue such as the fan not operating, the unit does have thermal shut down which can be caused by high swr or a heat problem.

No shut off in event of tip over. It is light weight and my cats have knocked it over. I only run it if I'm in the room. Also, it only heats a small area. It takes the chill out of my bedroom and is good near sofa for tv watching. It does have a temperature shut off...you set how hot you want it.

No it has a built-in overload circuit to prevent damage. I've done it and nothing happened.

Hi Jose, I have had no issues with overheating and its been in the case for about two months.

I did not see that in the discription. it says auto shut off feature. I think it means that if it over heats it will shut off. I love mine. However, I don't have pets or kids that would would bump in to it to tip it over. I also don't sleep with it on. just a safety thing for me. hope this helps.

The owner's manual for the Vornado AVH2 says the unit is equipped with "Tip-Over Protection". If tipped over the power to the heating element and fan motor is reduced to prevent overheating. It does not shut off.

Yes it does... it has a thermostat knob that causes it to shutoff when the desired temperature is reached. If the temperature goes below a threshold, the fan does come back on again. The other knob controls off/fan/low heat/high heat. In addition, there is an overheat shutoff.

It seems to just have low heat and high heat. It gets overheated very quickly too causing it to turn off.
