To turn off the air heater for short periods 
a   Adjust room thermostat to lowest setting or 

switch to off other external controls;  To 
turn off for prolonged periods, carry  
out 'a' above then; 

b   Turn off gas control valve fig 19 or 20;b 
c   Switch off main electricity supply after air 

circulation fan has stopped; 

 

To turn off for prolonged periods, follow 
procedure outlined above & then turn off the 
gas inlet service tap. 

 

To light the air heater: 

 

Hot surface ignition systems; 

 
1.   Turn on the gas supply to the air heater; 
2.  Switch on the electricity supply to the air 

heater; 

3.  Ensure that time switch (if fitted) is set to 

an 

ON 

cycle; 

4.  Adjust room comfort control/ thermostat to 

desired temperature; 

5.  Air heater will now light automatically when 

the room thermostat calls for heat. 

6. If 

the 

appliance does not light: 

 

 

a) check the automatic burner control does not 

require resetting. An indicator light will glow 
on the front panel of the appliance or on a 
remote control where applicable. Reset by 
press the light button on the appliance or 
remote control. 

b) check if the thermal over heat control 
requires resetting see figure 16 page 17 key 
10; 

If the thermal overheat control requires 
resetting and doing so restarts the air heater, 
wait until the appliance warms up to thermal 
equilibrium, to ensure that the over heat 
control does not operate again. 

If it does and 

the temperature surrounding the air heater 
is less than 30°C then switch OFF the 
appliance and call for service.

 If the 

temperature surrounding the appliance 
exceeds 30°C, take appropriate action to 
reduce the temperature in the vicinity of the 
appliance. 

 

Warning:

 

The externally fitted gas service tap must not 
be operated except in emergencies or for 
servicing or prolonged periods of shutdown of 
the air heater.
