Operation & Maintenance

MAINTENANCE

Your Runtal Electric Baseboard has been designed to require the absolute minimum maintenance and care

under normal use. However, care should be taken when cleaning the surface of the panel. Periodically vacuum

across the top of the grille to remove dust from the grille. A slight odor may be noticeable during initial

operation and will dissipate within a few hours.

CLEANING

The baseboard’s powder coated finish provides an elegant yet durable finish to a welded steel product.

Occasional cleaning of this finish is best done with a water dampened cloth. Under no circumstances should an

abrasive cleaner be used. Before cleaning make sure the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel,

and the heating element is cool. Be sure to restore power when cleaning and maintenance is complete.

All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.

For installation of multiple electric baseboard radiators, the following chart should be used. The chart indicates

supply voltage, circuit breaker rating, minimum wire size, and maximum total wattage of electric baseboard

radiators on the circuit.
