IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before installing or using this heater.

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect power at service panel and
have heater inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.

• Do not use outdoors.

• To disconnect heater, turn bath switch to off, and turn off power to heater circuit at main
disconnect panel (or operate internal disconnect switch if provided).

OPERATING

• The ClearLite assembly must be properly installed before it is used.

• The ClearLite is to be installed over a bathroom vanity sink with wiring fed from behind the
full, wall-mounted assembly.

• Be certain that the controls are operational per the instructions above in that the bathroom

with any user-operated devices intended to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons; and warn against tampering with such devices.

• Any servicing should only be done by a qualified service person.

MAINTENANCE

The ClearLite requires very little (if any) user maintenance; some items to consider are
as follows:

• Be sure the power is turned off and the heating element (mirror surface) is cool prior to
performing any of these functions.

• Ensure that once mirror is hung it is firmly hanging from the attached bracket and that the
bracket is still firmly attached to the wall. Use two people to hang mirror.

• Be sure that all excess wires are stowed in the electrical box, and are not hanging outside of
the protective area of the mirror.

• Use a lint-free cloth and lightly clean the surface. Never use chlorine, ammonia, chemical
glass cleaners or any abrasive material on the mirror. Use of those cleaners or chemicals
will void all warranties and guarantees. DO NOT SPRAY MIRROR.

• Heater and other internal components on the back of the mirror should never be accessed
and requires no cleaning.

• All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Call ClearMirror
directly with any warranty or operational problems or concerns.
