„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.
