MO-EL PETALO 1800 Uso Y Mantenimiento página 15

• Ensure that the rays of the heater are directed towards the area it
is wished to heat. If necessary, change the angle of inclination by
loosening the support screws.
• Do not use the heater directly near a bathtub, a shower, a swim-
ming pool.
• In unoccupied premises it is recommended that the heating sys-
tem is switched off and isolated from the electrical supply.
5. MAINTENANCE
Mo-El Petalo heaters contain no moving parts and therefore very lit-
tle maintenance is required other than to ensure that there is no ex-
cessive build-up of dust/dirt on the reflectors or emitters as this can
cause overheating and premature emitter failure. To clean the appli-
ance, wipe off with a damp cloth.
The accumulation of limestone or incrustations reduces the life and
the efficiency of the lamp; it is suggested therefore to avoid the con-
tinued use in presence of water or salt fog. Eventual leavings of salt
water will have to be removed before the use, after having discon-
nected the appliance, by means of soak in sweet water.
6. EMITTER AND SILICON BUMPERS REPLACEMENT
The emitters used in the Petalo are robust and if knocks and shock
vibrations are avoided, they will last for around 5000 hours. When
changing the lamp, also the silicon bumpers connected with the
lamp must be substituted. They should be substituted even before
if there are signs of aging. Due to the special sealing and anti-shock
design of the heater, the emitters are not intended to be user re-
placeable. Please ensure that all emitters are replaced via the Mo-El
service network.
