The recommended frequency for cleaning the heater depends on local conditions, so inspections should be
performed regularly.
16.1
Heater Inspection
a.
Check that the power lead is in good condition. If it is damaged, call Customer Care for assistance.
b.
If a return air filter is fitted (in the return air grille), the filter requires regular cleaning and should be checked
fortnightly. A blocked filter significantly affects heater performance and efficiency.

a.
Turn off the external gas cock.

Switch off the power supply to the heater unit.
