Before asking for a service call please check the following table as these characteristics are part of the normal
operation of the appliance and do not indicate a fault.
CHARACTERISTIC EXPLANATION
At ignition:
Warm air does not start when the burner lights. The fan is started automatically after a short delay. This is
to allow the heat exchanger to warm up, helping to avoid
cold draughts.
Smoke or strange smells are produced on the first
up operation after installation.
This is caused by grease, oil or dust on the heat exchanger
when new. This will stop after a short time.
Sharp clicking noises at ignition, or when the unit
thermostat modulates to a lower or higher setting,
or shuts down.
This is simply expansion and contraction noise from the
heat exchanger and is normal.
During combustion:
Clunking noise when the thermostat operates This is the sound of the solenoid gas valves opening and
closing to regulate the gas flow and is normal.
When the appliance is turned off:
Convection fan continues to run after turning off. This is to remove residual heat from the heat exchanger
and stops once the appliance cools.
Other points:
Steam is discharged from the flue terminal. High efficiency appliances tend to discharge water vapour
on cold days. This is normal.
Heater does not start when the ON button is
pushed.
Room temperature may be higher than the set
temperature, increase set temperature if desired.
Heater stops operation when the thermostat is set
to the High (H) setting.
Check that the appliance On / Off button is ON.
Room temperature is higher than that achievable by the
appliance.
