IMPORTANT: Never use the heater as a support for 
ladders or other access equipment. Always test for gas 
soundness with a suitable detection fluid after completing 
any servicing or exchange of gas carrying component. 
On completion of any service/fault finding tasks which 
require the breaking and remaking of electrical 
connections, the checks:- A:Earth Continuity, B:Polarity 
and C:Resistance to Earth must then be repeated.

Carry out the following procedure annually. The preferred 
time would be immediately before the winter heating 
period. If very dirty conditions arise, it may be necessary 
to carry out this procedure more often. If the unit takes in 
air through an air duct or filter assembly, more frequent 
service may be necessary.

Isolate the heater from the gas and electrical supplies. 
Remove the fan plug from the burner. Unscrew the 
securing screws on the burner flange. The burner can 
now be removed. Take care not to disturb the gasket on 
the flanged burner tube. Unscrew the securing screw on 
the fan flange spigot. The fan can now be removed.

Remove the fan and burner independently to floor level 
and clean both items internally using a soft brush and 
compressed air, if available. Take care not to damage the 
internal parts of the burner. Check fan impeller for 
cleanliness and free rotation. 
The electrodes are an integral part of the burner. To 
check spark gap, remove the securing screws on the 
electrode and withdraw it ensuring the gasket is not 
damaged. Spark gap on electrode should be 
approximately 3 mm.

With burner and fan removed, clean the outer surfaces of 
the tubes using a brush and wipe the inner surface of the 
reflector with a soft damp cloth - use a household 
detergent if necessary. Never use abrasive cleaners on 
the reflectors. Reassemble the burner and fan in reverse 

order. Carry out the Testing Procedure. 

Section 14.2.

First, isolate the heater from the gas and electrical 
supplies. Entry to the burner assembly is gained by 
removing the door screws and opening the hinged side 
cover. Entry to the combustion chamber is gained by 
removing the combustion chamber cover.

When the cover is removed completely, the burner 
assembly is exposed. Unscrew the burner cup. Remove 
brass injector jet (orifice). Replace in reverse sequence.

Remove burner head. Remove screws securing the 
solenoid/governor body bracket. Withdraw the four wires 
between the solenoids. The solenoid/governor and 
fittings can now be withdrawn from the compartment. The 
solenoid(s) can be removed from the body by unscrewing 
central screw. Replace in reverse sequence. Note: Earth 
is green/yellow.
