MAINTENANCE
Allow the heater to cool down for at least 15 minutes after switching off, before
performing any maintenance tasks.
Periodically.
• Disconnect from the mains supply, remove the guard and wipe the reflector
and elements with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
• Inspect the mains cable for damage. Heat damage will cause the cable to
stiffen and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced (refer to your CLARKE
dealer), check cable routing and ensure it is well away from the heat source.
Ceramic Element Replacement
Ceramic Elements are long lasting and should not need replacing under normal
circumstances. Should this become necessary however, the method of
replacement is as follows:
1. Ensure the heater is disconnected from the mains supply, and has cooled
sufficiently for work to commence, then remove the guard.
2. Remove the four screws securing the reflector.
3. Disconnect the leads from the damaged element to the ceramic connector
block.
4. Carefully remove the clip, securing the element, by sliding it to the side, and
retain, together with the spring clip.
5. Replace in the reverse order.
IMPORTANT
IF IN ANY DOUBT, ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT
CARRY OUT ANY REPAIRS YOURSELF.
