Do not modify this appliance.
8. If removed, the glass window must be put back onto the unit prior to
operating the heater.
9. Installation and repairs should be performed by a licensed service
person only, refer to back of brochure for service number.
10. For installation into a non-combustible fireplace, i.e.: masonry or brick
or into a mock fireplace, i.e. timber or plasterboard, the chimney and
base should be of sound construction and be free from cracks and
holes (to ensure that sufficient flue draught can be generated).
Note: when installing into a mock fireplace a mock fireplace
installation kit must be used.
11. The heater must be properly installed in a working chimney or con-
nected to a venting system. Operation of this heater, when not con-
nected into a working chimney or a properly installed and maintained
venting system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and
possible death.
12. Testing the effectiveness of the flue.
Before testing the flue confirm air vents are unobstructed. If an exhaust
fan or other heating appliances are present switch them on. This is to
test that there is no interaction between the Cannon heater and other
appliances.
Refer AS5601.
For ‘air movement not to affect appliance’ see clause 5.3.1.
For ‘air supply to appliance’ see clause 5.4.1.
For ‘ventilation requirements’ see clause 5.4.3.
13. The appliance should be inspected prior to use, with regular inspec-
tions (annually) to be made by a licensed service person. It is impor-
tant that circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean,
dirt and lint free, for a safe and efficient operation of the heater.
14. On first lighting your heater a smell may occur due to its new condi-
tion. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few hours use at
the maximum control position.
Important:
When this heater is operating the mesh guard/glass front is hot.
The mesh guard, or glass front, fitted to the heater conforms to
Australian Standards requirements.
The guard is fitted to this appliance to reduce the risk of fire or
injury from burns and no part of it should be permanently re-
moved.
For protection of young children or the infirm, a secondary guard
is required.

Item No Check Action
1. No ignition when appliance • Check 240 volts power to heater in incoming plug
is turned on. connector.
• Check operation of room circulating fan. If the fan
has malfunctioned, or is faulty, the fan pressure
switch will recognise this and not allow the heater
to function.
• Check operation of fan pressure switch. If room
circulation fan is operating the pressure switch should
energise and allow ignition sequence.
2. Power present but appliance • If there is power to the brown wire in the 8 way
not operating. switch connector the module may be in lockout
mode. To reset the module turn off the power supply
for 10 seconds and then turn the power on again.
3. After resetting the module • Check the external 2-A fuse in the loom.
and appliance is still not
operating.
4. If the fuse is O.K. and still • Check other connections are in place.
appliance not operating. • If the last checks are correct the ignition electrode
should spark at the same time as the gas control
solenoid valves open. At this point the spark
electrode will activate for up to 10 seconds maxi
mum until the flame has been established. Terminal
14 (white wire into the 8 way switch connector)
will be energised as soon as the flame has been
sensed.
5. Confirm spark is produced • A blue spark can be seen when the heater ignition
when heater is turned on. process starts. Ensure spark is present between
electrode and burner.
• The spark gap should be 4 - 6mm.
6. If no spark being produced. • Check that spark lead is connected into module.
•
Check the continuity of the HT cable.
•
Check that there is no short circuit to earth and
spark gap is correct. (Refer figure 37). A positive
check is to use a jumper wire and connect one end
of the earth and hold the other end with insulated
pliers 4mm from the spark generator on the module.
If there is no spark to earth then change the module.
7. Spark is being produced • Listen for cracking sound. The spark is misdirected.
but not at burner. Check the spark ceramic insulator for signs of
cracks.
To check the operation of the electronic (module) controller (Type 537 ABC) you will require a digital
multimeter with the functions to measure AC/DC voltage, continuity, resistance and micro-amps.
It is critical that the appliance is earthed and that the active and neutrals are not reversed.
