CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Your heater needs very little maintenance, but the following information will help you to keep it looking good and
working efficiently.
FILTERS
WARM AIR VENT
It is important that the Warm Air Discharge Vent
be kept clear of any obstructions as this will cause your heater
to operate less efficiently. When an obstruction is detected the Blockage Indicator LED which is located next to the
Receiver Window
will illuminate RED and the combustion state reduces to front burner, low operation only.
Removing the obstruction will allow normal heater operation to be resumed.
DO NOT attempt to clean the heater while the appliance is hot or operating.
All parts of the heater can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth.
DO NOT use solvents or abrasives to clean any parts.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the heater whilst in operation.
DO NOT place any articles on or against this heater.
DO NOT store flammable materials near this heater.
The filter meshing for this appliance is fixed to the inlets of the room
air return
.
The build up of dust or other particles on these filter strips reduces the
air flow through to the heater which in turn reduces heater's efficiency
and can lead to the appliance shutting down.
Filter Care
Filters require cleaning regularly during the heating season to prevent
these unnecessary cut-outs.
Cleaning filter strips:
Clean any dust and other debris from both faces of the filters with
either a vacuum cleaner, a soft dry cloth or a soft brush.
NEVER
attempt to clean filters with water.
Heater shut down due to filter blockages
DO NOT
wait for the Filter Blockage Indicator to come on before
cleaning filters.
DO NOT
continue to use the heater once this Indicator is flashing.
When an obstructive build up is detected the Blockage Indicator LED
which is located above the Receiver Window
will begin to flash
RED to let you know that there is a problem.
Once the Indicator is flashing if no action is taken the heater will
eventually shut down to avoid overheating and a fault code of 14 will
be displayed in the Error Display
window.
Returning the appliance to normal operation after a shut down
To restore to normal operation after a filter blockage shut down do the
following:
1.
Access the 'Push Button Control Panel'
. This is located on
the front of the heater at the lower right hand corner.
2.
Press the On/Off
button once to turn off the heater.
3.
Remove obstruction (see “Filter Care” on page 13).
4.
Press the On/Off
button once to turn the heater back on.
5.
Use the remote control to resume normal heater operation.
