WASHABLE LIFETIME FILTER SYSTEM

Heat Storm

™

Infrared Heaters come equipped with a washable lifetime filter which is easy to clean. (The manufacturer recommends

the filter to be cleaned regularly as needed.) To do this, follow these steps:

Press both tabs to remove the filter cover and remove the filter, noting which side of the filter receives air flow into the heater.

Run warm tap water over the filter, the opposite direction of air flow, until water runs clear. The filter might excrete some filtered
residue, so be cautious not to drip on any stainable surfaces such as carpeting. You can also soak the filter in water mixed with a
small amount of mild dish soap (remember to rinse well with clean water after soaking filter).

Shake the filter over a sink until excess water is removed and allow it to drip dry completely before reinstalling.

DO NOT force or attempt to speed the filter drying process by using any alternative methods.

ENSURE that the filter is completely dry before inserting back into the air inlet and replacing covers.

Reinstall the filter and replace cover.

ANY REQUIRED SERVICE OTHER THAN FILTER MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED
SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE
