Cleaning and maintenance
Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common
cause of overheating and should, therefore, be regularly removed. Before carrying
out cleaning or maintenance work, switch the heater off, remove the plug from the
socket and allow the heater to cool.
Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do
not use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or
chemical solutions!
Using a vacuum cleaner, carefully remove any dust and dirt from the grills
and ensure that the air intake and outlet openings are clean. Be careful not to
touch or damage any internal parts during cleaning!
The heater contains no other parts which need maintenance.
At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater in the original packaging if
possible. Store upright in a cool, dry and dust-free place.
Problems and solutions
If the heater does not work even though it is plugged into the socket, check the
following:
- Is the plug properly inserted and is the socket live?
Replace the fuse, if necessary.
- Is the thermostat set too low?
If so, turn it higher.
- Did the overheating safeguard switch the heater off?
See Safety Features for course of action.
For any other problems, please contact a qualified electrician. Never open the
heater yourself!
