CAUTION: Always isolate the mains power from the heater or heater assembly before replacing
lamp emitters or any maintenance procedure including cleaning.
CAUTION: Should dust or dirt appear on the reflector, it is recommended that that the guard and
lamp emitter are removed and the reflector is wiped with a lint-free cloth before reassembling
(see lamp emitter replacement instructions).
NOTE: For replacement lamp emitters or spare parts (see diagrams on next page) please
contact your local distributor quoting model type and rating from rating label. It is very
important that your replacement lamp emitter is exactly the same as the one it was
supplied with. Failure to fit the exact same type can cause the heater to prematurely fail.
!
CAUTION: Please ensure that the length of wires on the replacement lamp emitter are the same
as shown in the diagram below (Fig. ).

7. Remove the two screws as highlighted on in Fig. O to take out the side reflector bracket
and reflector assembly that allows access the lamp emitter holding clip. Repeat at opposite
end of the lamp emitter.
8. Where the lamp emitter wires are fed through the gasket into the terminal box (Fig. O),
gently pull the lamp emitter wires through the body of the heater so the wires exit the
junction box.
9. At the opposite end of the lamp emitter, the wire will be clearly visible in the lamp emitter
wire tube so gently pull the long wire (Fig. P) out of the tube until it is free.
10. One at a time pull the spring clips back in the direction shown in Fig. Q and lift up the
ceramic caps of the lamp emitter to remove it from the heater.
11. The lamp emitter should now be removed from the heater. Refit the new lamp emitter in
reverse order ensuring the ceramic caps are correctly seated in the lamp emitter holders, no
wires are trapped and all screws are refitted and fully tightened.
