AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

USING THE HEATER

SERVICE

Before switching on

Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and check that the
lamp and flicker rotor are positioned correctly. The
flicker rotor should sit horizontal on its pin and spin
freely without fouling its mounting brackets. If
necessary, adjust the bracket by bending slightly. Refit
the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then
secure with the screws. Ensure that all packing items
are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and
that the radiant elements and fuel effect are positioned
correctly, otherwise damage may occur.

Remove for access
to lamp and
flicker rotor.

Operation

When you are certain that you have completed the
installation, plug in and switch on at the wall
socket. The fuel effect will light. The flicker rotors
will begin to rotate after a minute or so.

Radiant elements

Each of the two radiant
elements provides
1000 watts of heat.

The left-hand switch
controls the lower element.

The right-hand switch
controls the upper element.

A switch is set to ON when the red dot is visible.
For full heat, set both switches to ON.

Switch off at the wall socket to turn the heater off
completely.
Unplug from the wall socket when not in use.

ANY MAINTENANCE.

Removing the guard

To remove the guard, remove the two screws
along the bottom edge of the guard, then swing
the guard upwards to gain access to the elements.
See Fig. 1.
Replace the guard in reverse order

Removing the elements

The element holders are spring loaded. To
remove an element, grip one end using a soft cloth
to protect the surface, then push carefully but
firmly to one side until the other end disengages
from its socket. Withdraw the element carefully.
See Fig. 2
Refit in reverse order.

Cleaning the reflector

The reflector may be more easily cleaned if the
elements are first removed (see above). Wipe the
reflector with a warm soapy cloth, then buff with a
soft dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning
powders or metal polish. See Fig. 3.

Lamp replacement

Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and replace
the defective lamp with a 60 watt, 220/250 volt, 2
pin bayonet cap (BC) fuel effect lamp. Ensure that
the flicker rotor spins freely, then reassemble.
