CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER

How do I clean my heater?

The heater fascia and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth, do
not use polishes or abrasive materials. The ‘Distinction’ fascia is NOT glass fronted and
will be damaged by the use of polishes or abrasive materials.

I have a problem with my heater!

Important Safety 

Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the light bulb(s) always disconnect
the heater from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the
heater to cool completely.

1. My heater is on but there is no light or the light appears brighter on one
side of the heater.

This is possibly a light bulb failure.  Remove the light bulb(s) as follows and check it /
them in a table lamp that is known to work. If it / they do not work in the table lamp
then replace as below.
The light bulbs fitted to this heater are standard clear 40 Watt (maximum) candle,
Edison screw, SES E14 lamps, but due to the indeterminate life span and ease of
replacement, they are specifically excluded from the guarantee.

To replace the light bulb(s).

1.

To gain access to the light bulb,

remove the loose coals from the fuel
support and place them onto an old
newspaper or plastic bag. This will
prevent them from marking the surface.

2.

Remove the fuel support by lifting

clear.

3.

Unscrew and replace the light bulb(s)

with a clear 40 Watt (maximum) candle,
Edison screw, SES E14.

4.

Refit the fuel support and coals.

2. My heater is on but there is no
light or heat.

The first thing to do is check the wall socket. To do this plug in a known working
appliance.  If the appliance you have plugged in works then there is a good chance that
the problem lies with the 13Amp fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or socket is
suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
