8.1 

To Start the Heater 

 

1. First ensure that the gas supply to each 

heater is turned on by opening the main 
gas shut off valve. 

 
2. Ensure that the setting of any time switch 

and thermostat are such that the heating 
system will be required to operate. 

 
3. Switch o the electricity supply to the 

heater. The fan will start, the ‘power on’ 
light on the burner will illuminate and     
ignition commence. 

 
4. Ignition will occur. 
 
5. If ignition is successful the gas valve will 

close and the spark ignition de-energize 
after  approximately  10  seconds.  For      
approximately 10 - 20 seconds the fan will 
purge the system then re-ignition will be 
attempted. After 3 attempts at ignition the 
control unit will ‘lock-out’, the ‘power on’ 

lamp will remain illuminated and the fan will 
continue to run. To reset after ‘lockout’, 
switch off the power supply to the heater 
and wait 5 minutes. Then turn the power on. 
If repeated ‘lockout’ occurs investigate the 
cause. 
 

 
 
8.2.  To Switch Off Heater 
 

1. Switch off electrical supply to the heater. 

The burner will stop and the fan will shut off. 
 
 
 

8.3. Servicing 
 

1. To ensure continued efficient and safe   

operation it is recommended that the heater 
be serviced regularly by a qualified person 
every year in normal working conditions but 
in exceptionally dusty or polluted conditions 
more frequent servicing may be needed. 

8.  User & Operating Instructions.
