Maintenance and Cleaning
__________________________________________
WARNING:
The heater, lamps and surrounding areas are hot enough to cause skin burns. Unplug the
unit and allow the heater to cool before disassembly or cleaning.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the power before performing service or maintenance procedures
detailed in this manual. Apply power only if you are specically instructed to do so as part of
the procedure.
WARNING:
Thoroughly air dry the unit after cleaning with ammable agents. Small amounts of
ammable agents, such as ether, alcohol or similar cleaning solvents left in the unit can
cause a re.
WARNING:
Never oil or grease oxygen equipment unless a lubricant that is made and approved for this
type of service is used. Oils and grease oxidize readily, and in the presence of oxygen, will
burn violently.
