Cleaning & User Maintenance
WARNING: DISCONNECT SUPPLY before carrying out maintenance.
General Cleaning
External appearance can be maintained by
wiping occasionally with a damp cloth; for stain
removal, a weak soap solution can be applied,
then wipe dry.
Internal Cleaning & Maintenance
To help prevent the build up of dust and fluff in the
heater it is advisable to apply the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner to the grille
occasionally (fig. 1).
From time to time it may be necessary to remove the
heater from the furniture unit so that the interior of
the heater and the heater compartment can be
cleared of any accumulated dust or fluff by means of
a vacuum cleaner (fig. 2).
To remove, unscrew the six fixing screws and
withdraw the appliance from the plinth.
To gain access to the inside of the appliance remove
the screws securing the top cover.
Clean the interior of the heater using the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner, taking care not to
damage the fan.
Refit the top cover. The interior compartment of the
furniture unit should also be cleared of dust and fluff
using the vacuum cleaner nozzle (fig. 3).
Remount the heater in the plinth ensuring the rear
support bracket is still adjusted correctly.
The electricity supply to the heater can now be
switched back on.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches
the heater off automatically. To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of overheating, then turn off the
electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes. When the heater has cooled sufficiently reconnect and switch on the
heater.
If the cut-out operates repeatedly, contact your supplier
Procedure for resetting the cut-out;
A. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance either by switching off at the isolating switch panel.
B. Determine what has caused the cut-out to operate and rectify.
(Note : This should only be undertaken by competent persons with experience of repairing electrical appliances
and in full knowledge of the possible hazards involved ).
C. After a short time delay to allow the appliance to cool down, all that is required to return the heater to normal
operation is to switch the electricity supply back on.
