Gas heater problems....Andy B

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I decided to light the wall mounted gas heater in the spare room today, it hasn't been used for a while. I went out to fetch Jake from nursery and when I got back the house stunk. Once it had cooled and after removing the cover I found the heater was covered in black soot....
The burner is clean and it is burning blue towards the bottom of the flame but orange at the top. The flue appears to be clear...with the cover removed from in front of the burner the flame keeps changing position, one sec it goes straight up, then back under the baffle which I assume is the fresh air part of the flue, then it comes out of the front cover....
It's a RW Bantam Ecotherm. http://www.cosy-heating.co.uk/robinson_willey_bantam.html
Any tips Andy ?? Apart from get it serviced by a pro
