CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Your unit is designed to remove dirt and other atmospheric impurities by
drawing air through the air filter. Do NOT block the air filter, as this will
impair the efficiency of the unit. Pushing the unit up against a wall or
operating it in close proximity to long window drapes will also impair the
unit’s air flow and efficiency.
1. Disconnect the appliance from the main supply and allow to
completely cool down.
2. Use a soft cloth to wipe any dust from the heaters surface. If the
surface is too dirty, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean.
Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

3. It’s important to clean the filters regularly. Gently wash the filter in
mild, soapy water, dry and replace. Be sure to re-fit the rear screen
securely. No special tools are required for this.
4. The water tank will need regular cleaning, especially in hard water
areas. Use a mild detergent and soft brush to clean inside the water
tank. It is recommended to clean the water tank every 1-2 weeks.
5. If storing the heater, ensure it has completely cooled down, is dry
and packed away in a cool dry place.
IMPORTANT
The control panel must not come into contact with water or any other
liquids.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted
municipal waste.
Use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the
collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps,
hazardous substances can leak into the ground water, polluting the
food chain and damaging health and well-being.
Maintenance
If the unit fails to operate efficiently, is broken or other problems arise,
unplug and do not operate.
