When the unit is used for the rst time or after a long period of disuse, smoke or odour may
result from dust or dirt that has collected on the element. This is completely normal and
disappears after a short time. The power supply to the unit must be disconnected during
all service, repair and maintenance work. The unit has no moving parts so the maintenance
requirement is small, but it must be kept clean and free from dust and dirt. If the reector
is not clean the thermal radiation from the unit will decrease and the heater will become
hotter. A large amount of dirt can cause overheating. The surface of the reector is sensitive
and must be cleaned with care. If the reector is dirty it must be cleaned or replaced by a
specialist.
