Maintenance
Important Safety
Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the light bulb, always disconnect the heater from the electricity supply by
removing the 3-pin plug and allowing the heater to cool.
Cleaning
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.
Replacing the light bulb
The light bulb access cover is on the rear of the heater. Access can be gained as indicated below.
Remove the front by lifting it clear of the heater.
If the heater is secured with screws, remove the screws.
Remove the heater.
At the rear top of the heater, there is a hinged access panel. Unscrew and
remove the locking screw—see figure 23.
The light bulb is located into a cradle on the rear of the access panel. Open
the access panel and remove the bulb. Do this by gently gripping the bulb
and pulling it clear off the ceramic connector—see figure 23.
Replace the light bulb with a 50W 12V
GY 6.35 type halogen bulb ONLY. Close
the access panel. When handling the light
bulb, avoid touching the glass with bare
fingers as this will reduce the life of the
bulb. Be careful not to trap wiring between
the access panel and heater body.
It is important, when buying replacement
light bulb, to ensure that the filament is
in the correct orientation to the location
pins—see figure 24.
Secure the heater back in place—see
appropriate Installation section in this
manual.
