Overheat Switch
When the heater gets too hot during operation (for example when the filters or air outlet louvers 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 heaters will not operate at
all. The fuse must be replaced by an authorized person.
Flame Failure Device
This device automatically cuts off 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 off to the
heater. If the oxygen depletion device operates, turn the heater off, ventilate the room, then follow the
ignition procedure to re-light. Heater will not re-light until room is fully ventilated.
Tilt Switch
If the heater is knocked over, the tilt switch will cut the gas supply off. The fan keeps running. To
restore the gas supply, stand the heater upright, turn it off then follow the ignition procedure. The
tilt switch may also operate if the heater is jolted or picked up while in operation.
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure or power cut, the gas valves will automatically close. After the
power is re-instated the appliance must be restarted manually.
