POSSIBLE LAMP FAILURE
The heating elements used in this product can be damaged by
contamination (salt deposits fr
om perspiration or coastal air) on
the surface of the quartz sleeve. At high temperatures, these
salts will cause the quartz to become porous and leak allowing
air to come in contact with the tungsten element. When this
occurs, the element will burn out quickly and the quartz tube
can break. The instructions below must be followed.
• Always wear cotton or latex gloves when installing
or replacing elements.
• Always clean the quartz tube with an alcohol-
moistened soft cloth before using the heater.
• henever contamination (milky white appearance
on quartz tube) is observed, the element must be
immediately replaced.
