Burning Smell from Propex Heater

[JacquiVintage]

Hello friends

Well we turned our heater on for the first time in months this week and the smell of burning was overwhelming. SO I turned it off again sharpish. Any ideas? It smelled like more than burning dust and it's made me a bit anxious, am going to investigate it a bit further today

Any advice would be welcome.

check and clean out the inlet and outlet, if it smells like dust it probably is
