polishes or abrasive materials.
I have a problem with my heater!
Important Safety
Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the lamp always disconnect the
heater from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allow the
heater at the top of the heater and the lamp to cool completely.
1. My heater is on but there is no light.
This is possibly a lamp failure. Remove the lamp as follows and check it in a table
lamp that is known to work. If it does not work in the table lamp then replace as
below.
The lamp fitted to this heater is a standard clear 40 Watt (maximum) candle, B22
(Bayonet fitting), 230V, but due to the indeterminate life span and ease of
replacement, they are specifically excluded from the guarantee.
To replace the lamp.
1.
To gain access to the lamp, remove the loose pebbles 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.
3.
Gently press the lamp and turn counterclockwise to remove. Replace the lamp.
4.
Refit the fuel support and pebbles.
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 13 Amp fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or socket
is suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
3. My heater is on but there is no heat.
A cut out device is fitted to the heater to prevent damage due to over heating. If it
operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the heater must be turned off and
allowed to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before restarting.
4. I Have a problem that is different to those in the previous examples
1- 3.
