is there an actual button on the bottom of the unit that controls the auto safety shut off if it tips over?

No. The heater has inside a piece that moves back when the heater flips and turn it off automatically, there is no way to get rid of it.

Yes, if it gets knocked over or isn't on a flat surface it has a thing on the bottom that shuts it off.

though I haven't tested it, it is supposed to shut off if tips over. Yes, it is cool to the touch. :-)

I don't believe there was that option. We tried two of these, but had issues with both. We have since moved to a newer Safety 1st model and love it

3 Way Auto Off - 8 min vertically, 30 sec when flat or tipped over.Guess this is the answer to your question. We like this safety feature.

You control the closing with your foot. Nothing automatically stops it, but it doesn't slam down abruptly either. Specially if you have a little trash bag, this softens the closing.

Yes. There is a float mechanism in the bottom of the resevoir which shuts the unit off when water is low

NO, the auto shut off won't work unless in the up/floating position. To get the water level lower, I tied the float into an up position and then watched until it started sucking air.

No, there is no "tip over feature" but I don't think you need one. This is because it is almost impossible to tip over and even if in the very unlikely event that it's tipped over, it's not really hot enough to burn.

I think you have to turn it off, I do not believe it has a safety auto-off on it.

The instructions say that that is what the "Auto" on position is for but a little further down the page they also recommend turning the unit off when it is left unattended. I personally always put the unit in the off position, to avoid possible issue incase a real idiot bends over it wearing a neck tie and accidentally activates it, or spills liquid into it and sparks an electrical fire in a bin filled with finely shredded paper and paper dust. Odds of it happening, very unlikely, but have you ever read the Darwin Awards?

No. Just a "safety button", but it is very comfortable to use. Light weight and trims great.

No.Button on outside of unit is used to change temperature.This is done after using internal switch to take unit off of factory set (120)

The other answer shows how the regular switch works, however if you have the model with a safety switch, all you need to do it look at the very end of the handle. You will see a small sliding swithch button. Just move to the opposite end. It will now be in a safety mode.

Hello LR, Yes, there is a sturdy knob at the top of the panel. Three settings -"off, foot rest, and heating panel." There is a red light which lets you know when the unit is on. After a year and a half or so the bulb goes out on the led so you have to remember to shut the unit off when not using it. C

Yes. The knob on the left is a temperature control. Once it reaches that set control it will automatically shut off.

Its got an automatic stop when it hits the bottom, so i disconnected that sensor, that way it will go out as far as you need.
