IMPORTANT: You must read and understand these instructions fully before operating the heater.
The controls are located on the lower left hand side of the heater.
• Ignition
Press the right hand control button firmly. This operates the built-in safety device and starts the electronic spark. The front burner and pilot will ignite. Check that the burner has lit and continue to hold the button down for up to 15 seconds. The spark will continue while the button is held down.
If the burner does not remain alight, push the button again and release it. This will return it to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait 30 seconds, then repeat the ignition procedure.
(The ignition button must be in the “OFF” position before attempting re-ignition).
• To adjust the heat
Press the control buttons in order from right to left, this will ignite additional burners as shown in diagram below. There is no need to hold the buttons for 15 seconds when increasing the heat.
• To turn the heater off
Press and release the buttons in order from left to right until all 3 buttons are in the “OFF” (OUT) position. The fan will stop when the heater cools down.
Ensure all burners are extinguished.
• Fan operation
The fan will operate authomatically when the heater warms up, and will stop when the combustion chamber cools.
When the heater is on the ‘high’ setting the fan will operate on high speed when the heater is hot.
When the heater is on the ’low’ or ‘medium’ heat setting, the fan will operate on slow speed when the heater is hot.
When the heater is on its lowest setting the fan may turn off as the heater cools and restart when warm again.
NOTE: If there is a power failure when the heater is in operation the overheat protection may shut off the gas to protect the heater. In the event of a power failure, turning the heater to its lowest setting may allow the heater to continue operating without overheating.
The fan will not work without electrical power. The fan may continue to operate on slow
speed when the burners have been extinguished until the heater cools down.
