MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the heater off, and disconnect from the mains supply. The
heater may then be cleaned using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid to
remove any dust or dirt from the case. Do no use stronger detergents or solvents
as these may damage the case finish.
FAULT-FINDING
The EH1688 has an overheat protection switch, which disconnects the power if the
element gets too hot. The usual reason for this is because the air-flow has been
obstructed, or the grilles have been blocked. If the heater ceases to operate, leave
it for 20 minutes to cool down, then check that the grilles are not being obstructed.
Switch back on, and check that the unit is operating normally. If not, contact an
authorised service agent for repair.
