Overheating safeguard
In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off. This
may occur if the heater cannot give off enough heat or if it cannot draw in enough fresh
air. As mentioned above, this is generally caused by (partially) covering the heater or
obstructing the air intake and/or outlet grills or installing the heater too close to a wall or
something similar. When the overheating safeguard switches the heater off, you need to
turn the switch to 'off' and remove the plug from the socket. Allow the heater to cool
down and make sure that whatever caused the overheating is removed or amended. The
heater can then be reused. If the problem persists or if you cannot find an obvious cause
for the overheating, turn the heater off immediately and take the plug out of the socket.
Contact a service point for repair.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common cause of
overheating so these should regularly be removed! Switch off the heater, remove the plug
from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning or carrying out
maintenance work.
• 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!
• Use a vacuum cleaner to 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. The manufacturer has
ensured that the motor has sufficient oil for its working life so there is no need for oil to
be added.
• At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater upright, in the original packaging if
possible, in a cool, dry and dust-free place.
Disposal
At its end of life, discard the device according to the local laws and regulations, or deliver
the device to your supplier.
