  1. Loosen and remove the two pozidrive screws securing the wire guard, remove the guard and store removed parts safely.
  2. To remove the tube, grasp and gently but firmly push it to one end of the heater. The tube holders are spring loaded and will allow the tube sufficient movement to clear the opposite holder.

  4. Fit new halogen tubes in reverse order.

The heater is now ready for use again.

PERIODICALLY

  1. If there is any serious build up of dirt, wipe the exterior thoroughly with a damp cloth. Take care that no moisture enters the heater. Take care NOT to touch the tubes with your fingers.
  2. Inspect the power cable for damage. Undue heat will cause the cable to stiffen and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced. Check cable routing and ensure it is well away from the heat source.
  3. Ensure heating tubes are clear of dust (use compressed air to clean if possible. (ALWAYS wear a dust mask if performing this operation)
