CHECKS DURING AND AFTER FIRST-TIME START-UP
Once the fan heater has been started check that it shuts down on reaching the required temperature and
then restarts again when the room cools down (adjust the room thermostat settings if necessary).
With the fan heater running:
check that the fan(s) rotates the right way;
check that fan(s) operates at the various speeds (where fan speed control switch is installed);
check that electrical absorption is less than indicated in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter;
check that there are no water leaks;
check that the fins are not too close together and that there is no obstruction to airflow.
If the fan heater passes all these checks it may be restarted.
SWITCHING OFF FOR LONG PERIODS
If the fan heater is expected to remain idle for a lengthy period proceed as follows:
deactivate the fan heater by acting on the room thermostat;
turn the main switch to OFF;
close the water check valves.
WARNING!!!
If there is a risk of sub-zero temperatures and the system water does not contain an
anti-freeze liquid you must drain the system.
