CLEANING

cleaning the fire.
We recommend cleaning the following components once every 2 weeks, particularly in hard water areas:-
Water Tank, Sump, Nozzle, Tank cap and seal, Air filter.
For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners.
To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used
to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater.
