Cleaning & Maintenance

Always allow the heater to cool for at least 15 minutes and disconnect from the power supply before maintenance.

• Replacing Tubes: Remove the front cover and guard. Push the tube gently to one end to clear the spring-loaded holder, then remove. Fit the new tube in reverse order. Never handle tubes with bare hands; use a soft clean cloth or glove.
• Periodic Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the heating tube is clear of dust (use compressed air if possible, wearing a dust mask and safety glasses).

Troubleshooting

• Heater does not operate: Check if the plug is loose, the fuse is blown, or if there is no power at the socket.
• Heater tube is glowing hot: Ensure the input voltage is correct and the air supply is not blocked.
