every 10 years, or at every change of occupancy. For office and retail premises,
and buildings such as village halls, the wiring must be inspected at least once every
5 years. It is recommended that all buildings be fitted with smoke alarms (it is
mandatory for new buildings).

this cost, the EH1896 will cost £0.29 per hour to run, with the heater on full power
and thermostat set to maximum. If the thermostat is used to regulate the
temperature, the operating costs will be lower, depending on the room temperature
and the size of the room.

Before cleaning, turn the heater off and disconnect from the mains supply. the
heater may then be cleaned using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid to
remove any dust or dirt from the case. Do not use stronger detergents or solvents
as these may damage the case. Using a dry 1” (25mm) paint brush, remove any
dust from the grilles. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre. If the mains plug needs to be
replaced, proceed as follows:
