4. OPERATION
When energised the heater will provide its maximum output within a few minutes. Should the unit register an abnormal rise in temperature the over temperature safety devices will shut the heater down. In these circumstances isolate the heater and ensure that there is no obstruction to the air inlet or outlet. If the over temperature safety device operates repeatedly isolate the heater and consult a qualified electrician.
5. MAINTENANCE
BN Thermic pew heaters are manufactured, assembled and tested in the UK and are non-user serviceable. They are designed to operate for many years, problem free. Maintenance is limited to the keeping of both inlet and exhaust areas free from any accumulation of dust and other foreign materials. This is especially important immediately before a heating season. Any dust build-up can be loosened with a brush and a vacuum cleaner applied to the airways to ensure complete removal of dust materials. An unusual odour may be noted on the initial turn-on period as any dust particles may have been disturbed and will be burnt off from the element. Note: Before examining or carrying out any maintenance ensure the heater has cooled down and is disconnected from the mains supply.
