Abstract
An image heating apparatus includes: a heating member; a collecting member; a cleaning web; an urging roller; a moving mechanism configured to move the urging roller between a first position where the cleaning web contacts the collecting member, a second position where the cleaning web contacts the collecting member at a contact pressure lower than a contact pressure at the first position, and a third position where the cleaning web is spaced from the collecting member; an executing portion configured to execute a collecting member cleaning operation at the second position and the first position in this order; and a controller configured to control a temperature of the collecting roller so that the temperature when the urging roller is moved from the third position to the second position is higher than the temperature when the urging roller is moved from the second position to the first position.
