ABOUT YOUR HEATER
HEATER APPLICATION
This room sealed gas space heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling (or commercial premises
for PRS-250CN and PRS-250CL commercial models) for the purpose of room heating. Its use in an application other
than this may shorten its life and void the product warranty.
MODEL TYPE
Congratulations for choosing a Paloma
®
room sealed gas space heater. Paloma room sealed gas space heaters are
suitable for indoor installation only and require the installation of a genuine Paloma room sealed flue kit.
HOW DO I KNOW IF THE HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY?
Installation requirements are detailed in the “Installation” section. The heater must be installed:
•
by a qualified person, and
•
in accordance with the installation instructions, and
•
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3000 and AS 5601 or AS/NZS 5601.1, as applicable under local
regulations, and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.
•
In New Zealand, the installation must also conform with NZS 5261, as applicable under local regulations, and
the New Zealand Building Code.
HOW YOUR HEATER WORKS
The heater consists of a gas burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, combustion fan and an air circulation fan.
Burner combustion air is drawn from outdoors by the combustion fan via the outer flue tube. Hot combustion gases
from the burner pass through the heat exchanger and are discharged outdoors via the inner flue tube. The circulating
fan draws air from the room in which the heater is located and passes it over the heat exchanger where the air gains
heat by convection. The heated air is then circulated back into the room via the heater's front louvres. The gas supply
to the burner is controlled by an electronic controller (thermostat) which senses the room air temperature.
The following automatic safety controls are fitted to the heater:
•
Filter Clean Warning Device - When the air filter is clogged or hot air outlet is blocked, the filter safety device will
switch off the heater and the filter light will flash.
•
Flame Failure Device prevents flow of gas to burner if ignition fails or flame goes out.
•
Power Failure Device prevents flow of gas to burner if there is a power failure.
•
Overheat Safety Device – if the fan stops rotating for any reason the overheat switch shuts off the gas supply.
•
Over Current Safety System.
•
Air Volume and Combustion Control.
The heater has a humidifier tray located behind the lower front cover. The humidifier tray can be filled with water to
raise the humidity level in the room for extra comfort if required (refer to "Humidifier Tray Removal" on page 7).
HOW LONG WILL THE HEATER LAST?
The heater is supported by a manufacturer’s warranty (refer to “Warranty” on page 35). There are a number of factors
that will affect the length of service the heater will provide. These include but are not limited to the usage pattern and
the service and maintenance program.
REGULAR CARE AND SERVICING
The heater must be maintained and serviced in accordance with the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions.
Refer to “Regular Care” on page 7.
PRECAUTIONS
Heat from this appliance may over time affect the appearance of some flooring materials such as carpet, timber, vinyl
or cork. It is recommended that a protective mat is positioned in front of the heater that extends a minimum of 750 mm
from the front of the heaters louvres to protect floor coverings.
This heater can circulate large volumes of air. If the air in the room contains any cigarette smoke or cooking vapours
the circulated air may affect the appearance of carpets, furniture and drapes, etc.
