1. Electricity Supply is faulty
• Check the power plug is plugged in.
• Check that electricity supply is available
2. The motor is blocked/faulty

3. The fan is blocked/damaged
• Check and replace as necessary
4. IF FITTED (AUTOMATIC ONLY)
The thermostat setting is incorrect
The thermostat plug is not plugged in
The thermostat/thermostat connection is loose/faulty

check that phase indicator light is off
7. Limit thermostat is faulty
• Reset Limit thermostat (WHERE FITTED)
• Check for continuity in Limit thermostat connection
8. Gas pressure/flow absent before solenoid valve
• Check that the gas supply is on at the cylinder
• Check that the gas cylinder(s) is/are full and not ‘frozen’
• Check that the gas cock is in the open position and operating
correctly
9. Solenoid valve does not open

14. Thermocouple is not properly adjusted
• Check thermocouple positioning and adjust accordingly
15. Pressure regulator is faulty
