OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
Red Glowing on Heating Element
The red glowing on the face of the heater (particularly noticeable in the dark) will
resemble charcoal glowing when hot. This is a normal phenomenon of catalization.
A properly operating heater will slightly “glow” on about 40% of the bottom area
of the heating element. At times, a high glow “spot” may be seen on the heating
element. This is normal. The glowing phenomenon diminishes over a period of years
usage.
