• Castors and Fireguard
• Ensure that the castors are securely fixed and that fireguard is in place.
• If in doubt – Ask
• If you are in doubt about any function of the cabinet heater and its associated gas fittings, ask your gas supplier to arrange for a service inspection.
• Plaques
• If the plaques or bricks at the front of the heater are damaged, or if part of the retaining cement is missing, they should be immediately replaced by a competent person. The heater should not be used in a damaged condition.
• Old Heaters
• If your heater is over 10 years old, you should consider replacing it with a new mobile heater so that you keep up to date with the very latest designs and technology.

All gas appliances should be serviced regularly by a competent person.
