CARE OF YOUR 1004T This unit needs very little maintenance. Simply clean the fan filters once a week and wipe the outer case with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS. Check the flue terminal occasionally to make sure shrubs etc. have not grown around it.
PRE-SERVICE CHECK Before asking for a service call please check the following. These points are part of the normal operation of the unit. 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 trial light up after installation.
ERROR MESSAGES The Energysaver 1004T has the ability to check its own operation continuously. If a fault occurs, an Error Message will flash on the Digital Display of the control panel. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a problem without a service call. Please quote the code displayed when inquiring about service. CODE DISPLAYED FAULT REMEDY 11 Missed Ignition Check gas is turned ON. Service call if repeated. 12 Flame failure Check gas is turned ON.
SAFETY DEVICES Overheat Switch: This device automatically cuts the gas off if the heater exceeds a predetermined temperature. This is normally caused by an obstruction in front of the louvres, or a blocked fan filter. If this switch operates, turn the unit off, remove the obstruction (clean filters) and let the unit cool off before reoperating. Two Fusible Links Backs up the overheat switch. If a fusible link cuts the unit off, a service call by an authorised person is required to replace the link.
