• 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
CHAPEL heaters contain no moving parts and therefore very little
maintenance is required other than to ensure that there is no exces-
sive build-up of dust/dirt on the reflectors or emitters as this can
cause overheating and premature emitter failure.
To clean the appliance, wipe off with a damp cloth, after having
switched it off.
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 CHAPEL 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 replaceable.
Please ensure that all emitters are replaced via the service network.
