REPLACEMENT OF AN INFRARED LAMP
Handle carefully; there are sharp aluminum pieces inside.
1. Before installing or replacing an infrared lamp, switch off the appropriate
circuit breaker in the electrical service panel.
2. Remove the back cover (1).
3. Before disconnecting the defective lamp, please note how the wires are xed
to the ceramic terminal blocks. It is very important to connect the lamps in the
same way as before (parallel or series connection).
4. Unplug the wires connected to the defective lamp (3) from the ceramic
terminal blocks.
5. Remove the four screws from the primary reector (2) and remove it. Unscrew
the two support clips on either end of the reector in order to remove the
lamp (3) from the mounting base.
6. Place the new infrared lamp (3) into the mounting base of the primary
reector (2), position the new lamp so that the wires (and the glass bump in the middle of the lamp) are facing away from the primary reector
(2). Insert and screw the support clips securing the lamp at each end of the mounting base.
N.B. Avoid applying too much pressure when inserting the infrared lamp in the support clips. Never insert the infrared element holding
it by the quartz tube with bare hands. Handle the lamp by the ceramic ends. The element should only be cleaned with a clean rag.
Failure to follow these directives might shorten the infrared lamps’ life expectancy.
7. Make sure that the connection to the ceramic terminal blocks is connected as it was originally, in parallel or in series according to the model, as
shown on the above diagrams. Screw the primary reector to the secondary reector, close and screw the back cover.
NOTE: The approximate life expectancy of a new infrared lamp is 5000 hours.

All other repairs and maintenance other than those described in
this guide should be performed by qualied service personnel.
In order for the warranty to be valid, the unit must be cleaned
regularly. Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse and wait for
the unit to cool down before cleaning.
Use a soft rag for dusting. When cleaning, use only a damp rag and
non-abrasive dish soap. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners
because they may damage the nish. If the unit is used in a very
dusty location, use a vacuum brush to remove dust and other
foreign objects from the grills. Note that cigarette smoke could
yellow the discharge grill and that the best way to prevent it is to
clean the unit on a regular basis.
Do not use cleaning products identied with these symbols:
N.B. There is electrical current linked to the unit even if the ther-
mostat is set off. This means that there is a risk of electric shock
as long as the unit is energized.
MAINTENANCE
PROBLEM DEFECTIVE PART OR PART TO CHECK
The unit fails to heat
- Open circuit breaker or fuse
- Faulty connections
- One or more defective infrared elements
The desired temperature cannot be reached
- One or more defective infrared elements
- Voltage lower than that indicated on the nameplate
- Unit mounted too high

- Unit installed inappropriately
The temperature felt is too high
- Unit mounted too low
- Unit too powerful for desired usage
- Defective or non-existent controls
The breaker trips when the heater is turned on
