Maintenance Features
General Cleaning:
- WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
- Use a soft, clean duster for general cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the glass viewing screen carefully with a soft cloth; do not use proprietary glass cleaners.
- Use the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater to remove dust or fluff.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamps:
