This heater discharges a large volume of warm air at low level to provide
even heat distribution. If the air in the room contains cooking vapour or
cigarette smoke, and the heater is used on a carpet, the surface of the carpet

may become discoloured.
In addition, some nylon carpets contain dyes which may be affected by the
warm air flow.

Some soft vinyl surfaces are also subject to discolouration by warm air.

To prevent discolouration of carpets etc., a mat should be placed under the

the first time the heater is lit or when
the heater has been out of operation
for a long time, this is normal. You
may need to repeat the ignition

operation the first time the heater is
plugged in, due to air in the hose.

FILTER LAMP

If filter lamp glows during operation

check both air filters for dust. If there

is dust present, clean filters. See section
on care of unit. Turn heater off before
cleaning filters.

Check Both Filters

The filter lamp is not a safety cut off,
so the heater will continue to run with

the light on. Left in this condition the
heater may overheat and shut off
automatically.

SAFETY DEVICES

Over Heat Switch

When the heater gets too hot during operation (for example when the filters
or air outlet louvres are blocked) this device turns the gas off automatically.
Remove cause of overheat (clean filters) allow heater to cool, then re-ignite.

Fuse

The electrical circuits are protected by a fuse. When the fuse blows, the
heater will not operate at all. The fuse must be replaced by an authorised
person.

Flame Failure Device

This device automatically cuts the gas supply to the heater in the event of

a gas failure. To restore the gas supply to the heater, turn it off, then follow
the ignition procedure.

Oxygen Depletion Safety Device

If the oxygen level in the room drops below a pre-set limit, this device cuts
the gas supply to the heater. If the oxygen depletion device operates, turn
the heater off, ventilate the room, then follow the ignition procedure to
relight. Heater will not relight until room is fully ventilated.

Tilt Switch

If the heater is knocked over, the tilt switch will cut the gas supply. The
fan keeps running. To restore the gas supply, stand the heater up and
follow the ignition procedure. The tilt switch may also operate if the

heater is jolted or picked up whilst in

operation.
