8. CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER
Important Safety.
Before undertaking maintenance always disconnect the heater from the electricity
supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the heater to cool.
How do I Clean my heater?
The heater and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth; do not
use polishes or abrasive materials. This is especially important when cleaning the
effects screen.
I have a problem with my heater!
1.
My remote control does not work.
The batteries in the remote control handset probably need replacing - See section 4
and figure 4. The heater can be operated manually as on page 18.
2.
My heater is switched on but there is no effect 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, I have selected a heat setting but there is no heat, just the
effect.
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 dark areas in the fuel effect of my heater or
the fuel effect is not as bright as it was when new.
There is a mirror fitted to the rear of the hood / canopy at
the front of the heater and this may need cleaning. Wipe
the mirror with a clean, dry, non abrasive cloth (See
figure 21).
5.
I have a problem that is different to those in the
previous examples 1- 4.
