The fan is started automatically after a short delay.
This is to allow the heat exchanger to warm up, helping to avoid cold draughts.
This is caused by grease or oil and dust on the heat exchanger and will stop
after a short time.
This is simply expansion noise from the heat exchanger.
This is the sound of the solenoid gas valves opening and closing.
Is the air filter blocked?
Is the set temperature high enough?
Is the warm air outlet blocked by anything?
Are the doors and windows of the room closed?
Was the appliance correctly sized for the space?
Allow heater to cool, clean air filter, operate again.
Even after unit has cooled down, the heater does not ignite again. Repair is
necessary.
Contact a qualified / authorized service provider.
This is to remove the residual heat from the heat exchanger. The fan will stop
when the heater cools down.
High efficiency appliances tend to discharge water vapor on cold days. This
is normal.
Check whether filters are blocked. Dirty filters will cause the heater to overheat.
