The appearance and product life of the heater can be extended by means of regular cleaning and servicing.
You should check the heater regularly for correct operation and have it serviced at least once a year.
Warning!
If you do not disconnect the heater from its power source before cleaning or servicing it, there is
a risk of serious personal injury or death due to electric shock. Ensure that the heater is only serviced by a
qualified electrician.
5.1.
Cleaning the Heater
It is recommended that you clean the exterior steel casing of the heater on a monthly basis and the alloy
reflector and elements on an annual basis.
Warning!
Do not use harsh detergents during cleaning as they may damage the heater. Only soap and
water should be used.
1.
Switch off the heater and disconnect its power supply.
2.
If the heater has been in use, wait until it has fully cooled down before handling.
3.
Remove the heater grille by unscrewing the screws at either end.
4.
Clean the alloy reflector and elements with a soft damp cloth.
Note:
Ensure that you squeeze all excess moisture from the cloth before using it. It should be damp
rather than wet.

Wipe down the exterior casing of the heater with a soft damp cloth.
6.
Replace the grille and the screws you removed earlier.
