Frequently Asked Questions - Brigadier OABRFNGSS Omega Altise

How do I adjust the thermostat?

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase the target temperature. The heater will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Can I leave the heater unattended?

It is not recommended to leave the heater unattended. Always unplug when not in use. The heater has overheat protection and a tip-over switch for added safety.

How do I clean the air filter?

Unplug the heater. Locate the filter usually at the back or side. Remove it and wash with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean monthly for optimal performance.

What does the fan-only mode do?

Fan-only mode circulates air without heating. Use it to cool a room or just for air circulation. Set the thermostat to minimum and select low or high fan speed.

Why does the heater turn off suddenly?

Possible reasons: overheat protection triggered (blocked airflow), tip-over switch activated, or thermostat reached set temperature. Check for obstructions and ensure heater is on a stable surface.

Is the heater suitable for a bathroom?

No, this heater is designed for indoor dry areas only. Do not use in bathrooms or near water to avoid electric shock.

How much does it cost to run?

At maximum setting (2000W), it consumes 2 kWh per hour. Running cost depends on your electricity rate. Use the thermostat to save energy.

Can I use an extension cord?

Avoid using an extension cord. If necessary, use a heavy-duty cord rated for at least 10A (2200W) and fully unwind it. Better to plug directly into a wall outlet.

How do I store the heater in summer?

Clean the filter and exterior. Wrap the cord loosely around the base. Store in a dry, dust-free place. Do not place heavy objects on top.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact Omega Altise customer service or visit their website. Common spare parts include the filter, fuse, and thermostat knob.

BEFORE USING YOUR NEW EVERDURE HEATER

EVERDURE MODELS 3725, 3621, 3518, 2415

The Everdure Fineline gas space heaters are described as manually operated, portable, flueless radiant convection heaters for use with Natural gas or Liquid Petroleum gas.

The heater is supplied with an approved flexible hose.

A label is attached to the rear of the heater stating the type of gas for which it has been manufactured and adjusted.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The heater shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, local gas fitting regulations, uniform building regulations, municipal building codes, the AGA installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment and any other relevant statutory regulations.

The heater is intended to be installed as a free standing portable, its portability being restricted by the number of gas outlet points being provided.

The heater must NOT be BUILT IN.

Special room ventilation may apply in your particular state. If in doubt, contact your local gas authority.

Locations where strong draughts occur should be avoided as they may cause unsatisfactory operation of the heater.

The heater should be installed at least 1 metre from flammable materials, e.g. curtains, and to be 150mm clear of sidewalls.

NOTE

This appliance has been fully function tested prior to packaging.

No adjustment is required or available to the user.

No installation is required apart from connection to gas and electrical supplies. (Fig. 1)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GAS SUPPLY

Your heater is fitted with a flexible hose and bayonet coupling which enables you to connect or disconnect it from the gas supply.

TO CONNECT

Insert the coupling end into the wall socket firmly and rotate the knurled section clockwise to it's locked position.

TO DISCONNECT

Apply firm forward pressure to the knurled area, rotate anti clockwise and pull towards you. The hose should now come away from the wall socket. Gas is automatically isolated when the hose is disconnected.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

Your heater is fitted with a power supply lead, which should be connected to a standard domestic socket.

POWER FAILURE

Your Everdure heater will operate quite normally in the event of a power failure. Should the power fail while the heater is operating, the fan will stop. There is however, no need for concern as your heater has been designed to operate satisfactorily with the fan off. (See diagram on next page). Should you wish to ignite your heater during a power failure, follow the instructions under Manual Ignition.

Note: If your heater has been disconnected for some time, there will be air in the flexible hose. It will therefore take a little longer to ignite when you first turn it on.

MANUAL IGNITION

The heater may be manually lit by opening the dress guard (see Cleaning) and while holding down the ignition button, apply a lighted longreach match or taper to the pilot. The ignition button needs to be held down for 20 seconds to allow the valve to lock in. Close up the dress guard as described in the cleaning section.

ABNORMAL OPERATION

As the heater heats up or cools down, expansion or contraction takes place and the occasional ‘click’ may be heard. This is normal, however, continuous metallic noises, grinding sounds, the smell of gas or any of the symptoms listed on the fault finding chart should be investigated immediately. Turn the appliance off and disconnect the gas and electrical supplies. If the fault cannot be fixed or any doubts exist, contact your nearest EVERDURE service agent or contact Everdure on the telephone number on the front cover of this booklet.

CONTROLS

The heating controls and fan switches are located under a lid situated on the top right hand side of the heater. Lighting instructions are affixed to the underside of the lid.

FAN AND FAN SWITCH

The two-speed fan is controlled by the fan switch in the control box, and, as indicated on the control box lid label, the switch has three positions, slow fast and off.

Selection of slow or fast fan speed in conjunction with High, Medium or Low heat settings is determined by personal choice and/or heating requirements at the time.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Open the control box lid, depress and hold down the 'ON/IGNITION/LOW' button. This button operates the sparker, which in turn ignites the pilot flame and the low setting burner. It is necessary to hold down the 'ON/IGNITION/LOW' button firmly for at least 20 seconds to allow the gas valve to 'lock in'. If the burner fails to light, repeat the ignition sequence described above.

The ON/IGNITION/LOW button and the MEDIUM/HIGH button each have two operating positions, which provides three heat settings.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES BEFORE CLEANING ANY INTERNAL SURFACES. MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE LINTING, WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

The outer surfaces of the heater should only be cleaned or dusted with a damp cloth. Access to the area in front of the tiles is achieved by opening the dress guard as follows.

Using both hands, simultaneously apply upward pressure at the bottom left and bottom right of the dress guard, as indicated in FIG 2, and lift up until the wire rods come out of their locations. Ease the bottom of the dress guard forward of the front edge of the reflector and pull down as far as it will go (about 2cms). Pivot the dress guard up until enough space for access is achieved. The dress guard is not removable nor will it open right up. This has been designed like this for safety reasons.

To close the dress guard to its correct position, pivot it back down, lift it up and guide the ends of the wire rods back over their location holes then push down firmly to secure the dress guard in place.

Cleaning the area in front of the tiles must be done with great care as the burner tiles are fragile and are very easily damaged.

Access to the underneath of the heater is gained through the lower louvre panel. This panel is hinged at the bottom and is opened by gripping the top louvre blade about 3cms in from each end, pushing down and pulling out (see FIG 2).

This area needs particular attention and should be gently vacuumed out from time to time. The frequency depends greatly on the environment that the heater is used in, the more furnishings and carpets that are in close proximity to it, the more frequent the cleaning. A check should be made once every month and when dust and fluff become apparent, it should be gently vacuumed out. The fan blades may be rotated by hand whilst vacuuming to ensure all fluff etc, is removed.

DRESS GUARD

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 removed.

FOR PROTECTION OF CHILDREN OR THE INFIRM, A SECONDARY GUARD IS REQUIRED.
