Troubleshooting guide Please note this guide refers to heaters being operated individually If a central control system is installed some issues may require that you refer to the instructions provided with the system controlling the heaters My heater is too cold Has there been an interruption to mains power A power cut during the off peak period could affect the charge taken by the heater Ensure that the off peak circuit is working the wall switch is on and the fuse is ok Turn up the INPUT control this may take up to 24hrs to take effect Turn on the boost function Has the heater been inadvertently covered If so the safety cut out may have operated Please call Customer Services if this is the case Do you have another heater nearby If so please see One of my heaters is colder than the other below Is the room cold If you have an automatic heater the room temperature will have an effect on the charge taken therefore if the room is already warm the heater will not take an unnecessary charge My heater is too hot Turn the INPUT control down this may take up to 24hrs to take effect Turn the OUTPUT control to minimum Turn off the boost function One of my heaters is If two automatic heaters are fitted in one area they may affect each others operation colder than another Set one heater higher as a primary source of heat and the other lower to provide supporting heat to avoid the heaters cancelling
3. Input Fe E J Know your heater Off peak electricity is supplied from the national grid to your house usually overnight when national demand for electricity is low This is called the off peak period Because it is off peak it is supplied at a cheaper price than normal day rate electricity and requires a separate off peak electrical circuit and meter This circuit only ei E R operates the storage heaters and switches on LEE hearer automatically during the off peak time period which will controls occur at set times of the night or day If you are unsure which off peak tariff you have you will need to contact your electricity supplier for clarification if 7 In the same way as you charge up a battery electricity a M is used to heat elements in your heater which over a number of hours gradually transfer the heat to a very e high density material that absorbs and stores the heat for use during the next day This process is referred to as a Front panel charging the heater In order to ensure your room stays warm overnight storage heaters are designed to give out some heat Se even when the heater is charging ee O Jaa When the off peak charging period finishes the heat is gradually released in a controlled way over the course of the day Heat outlet Feet The CXLS models a

No attempt should be made to move the heater without first seeking specialist advice If you are not happy that the heater has been securely fixed please inform your installer e If during any reassembly of the heater a part of the thermal insulation shows damaged or deterioration which may impair safety it should be replaced with an identical part e UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE WALL FIXINGS BE LOOSENED ON THIS HEATER BEFORE THE BRICKS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS CORE 1224 CXLSN_STORAGE HEATER INSTRUCTIONS indd 3 14 01 2011 10 29 The benefits of storage heating One of the benefits of storage heaters is that after their night time intake of off peak electricity i e the charge they will always emit some heat throughout the day and night This helps to maintain a steady temperature so that the room never gets cold because the whole fabric A of the room retains some warmth A In the morning when the core is at its hottest the iy TTT DAN amount of heat being transmitted is at its greatest and E the heater feels hot over most of its upper surfaces As the day progresses heat is transmitted from the heater to the room and the surface of the heater becomes less hot To ensure there is always sufficient heat throughout the day the CXLS models come with a built in top up convector heater which provides an independent Sg ee heat source Controls Output and

7. OUTPUT boost heating control 5 This controls the airflow release through the heater and can be 5 used to release heat faster or as a boost of heat later in the day OUTPUT Depending upon the amount of charge accepted by the heater the control OUTPUT control allows the release of additional heat the boost by i increasing the air flow through the heater By altering the setting of the OUTPUT control the airflow release can be opened and closed y vas Se ve manually or can be set to open automatically a j S amp S ee Because the manual or automatic opening of the airflow release is Z a primarily dependent on how much heat remains in the heater the amount of charge the heater has taken has a bearing on the time at which it opens The boost will not operate and the internal flap will not open if the output of the heater is already high enough or if there is insufficient heat available from the product Manual BOOST operation With the OUTPUT control set on minimum anticlockwise the airflow release boost remains closed and heat is released from Cae z the heater only by normal radiation and convection This alone Sern 2 may provide sufficient heat on many occasions and therefore no no Boost adjustment of the OUTPUT control is necessary O If a boost of heat is required later in the day then moving the OUTPUT control to maximum clockwise in the evening will immediately open the airflow to
