7. 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 2. The heater can be operated manually as on page 19.
2. My heater is switched on but there is no light 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 but there is no heat and the heater fan has stopped.
The heating element on the heater has a fixed 2kW output, and is controlled by an
electronic thermostat. The heating element operates to reach a preset temperature,
which when achieved, will result in the heating element and heater fan switching off.
When the thermostat detects a temperature below the preset temperature, the heater
fan and heating element will switch on automatically, according to room temperature
and chosen thermostat setting. The heater fan and element will therefore cycle off
and on during normal operation.
Alternatively check the thermostat lamp setting. It may be that you want the room
warmer and need to increase the thermostat setting.

Alternatively 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.
