7. CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER

Important Safety.

Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the lamp always disconnect the heater
from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the heater to cool.

How do I Clean my heater?

The heater and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth; do not
use polishes or abrasive materials. This is especially important when cleaning the
effects screen.

I have a problem with my heater!

1. My heater is on but there is no light / low light.

This is possibly a lamp failure. Replace the lamp as in the following section. 
The lamp fitted to this heater is a 

50Watt 12Volt GY 6.35 halogen lamp. A replacement

lamp is supplied with the heater. 

Due to the indeterminate life span and ease of

replacement, they are specifically excluded from the guarantee.

When handling the lamp avoid touching the glass with bare fingers as this will reduce
the life of the lamp.
Caution: Ensure the lamp is cool before attempting to remove it from the heater. 

To replace the lamp.

The lamp access cover is on the rear of the
heater. Access can be gained as below.

Remove the fascia by gently pulling the
lower edges and lifting clear of the heater.

If the heater is secured with screws then
remove the screws. For heaters secured
with wire it will be necessary to loosen and
remove the wire at one side. Do this by
pushing the wire loop towards the outer hole
and pulling on the wire where it passes
through an outer hole in the heater. It may
be necessary to use a flat ended screw
driver or similar tool behind the wire loop
(See figure 15).

Remove the heater.

At the rear top of the heater there is a hinged access panel. Unscrew and remove
the locking screw (See figure 16).

The lamp is located into a cradle on the rear of the access panel. Open the
access panel and remove the lamp. Do this by gently gripping the bulb and pulling
clear of the ceramic connector (See figure 16).
