12. CLEANING 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.
Cleaning the filter panel.
The filter panel requires regular cleaning. We recommend cleaning the filter at least
once a month. The filter may require cleaning more frequently depending upon use.
To gain access to the filter remove the ash pan and lower firefront casting. It is not
necessary to remove the filter for cleaning. Clean the filter using a vacuum fitted with
a soft brush attachment. Do not apply pressure to the filter as this may cause
damage.
13. HELP AND ADVICE
I have a problem with my heater!
1. 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.
2. 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. Check that the filter panel is clean (See ‘cleaning
the filter panel’ above).
3. 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 20).
