Maintenance and troubleshooting for infrared heaters

Proper maintenance and timely troubleshooting can help prolong the lifespan of your infrared heater and ensure optimal performance. Here are some maintenance tips and common troubleshooting steps:

Maintenance Tips:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Clean the heater regularly to remove any dust that may accumulate on the heaters. Use a soft damp cloth or brush to gently wipe away the dirt. Ensure the heater is unplugged and cooled down before cleaning.
  1. Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord, plug, and connections for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any frayed wires or loose connections, stop using the heater and have it repaired by a professional.
  1. Airflow: Ensure proper airflow around the heater by keeping it free from any obstructions. 

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Heater Not Turning On: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into an electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in another device. If the outlet is working, but the heater still doesn't turn on, there may be an issue with the heater's internal components. Consult the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance.
  1. Insufficient Heat: If the heater is not providing enough heat, ensure that it is correctly sized for the room. Check for any obstructions around the heater that may be blocking the heat output. 
  1. Uneven Heat Distribution: If the heat distribution is uneven, check for any obstructions that may be blocking the heater. 
  1. Strange Odours or Noise: If you notice any unusual odours or noises coming from the heater, immediately turn it off and unplug it. Strange odours or noises can indicate a potential electrical or mechanical issue. Contact the manufacturer or a professional for assistance.

Remember, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific maintenance
