Convector 460/560PTR
Cause and Explanation
When the ON/OFF switch is pressed, ignition occurs, however,
ignition could be delayed due to air in the gas supply line.
Combustion Indicator (red) will not illuminate until the thermocou-
ple has heated up. There will be a delay of a few seconds after igni-
tion.
The fan stops after releasing all residual heat from within the appli-
ance.
(approx. 255 secs if filter indicator flashes)
Normal ignition sound. The extent of the sound will depend on gas
pressure and burner temperature.
(Sound is of re-ignition straight after extinction.)
This will soon go.
This is the sound of the combustion chamber metal expanding/
contracting due to heat, and is normal.
There may be air in the gas supply, preventing the appliance ignit-
ing immediately. If ignition does not occur after 30 seconds, the
spark will stop and the heater will lockout. Turn the heater off to
reset before attempting ignition again.
There may be grease or a smell of smoke when first using the appli-
ance. This will stop after a short period. Increase the ventilation
when using the appliance.
There may be a slight odour upon ignition/extinction of burner.
(This will go once flame becomes stable.)
