ADDITIONAL HEATER OPERATION INFORMATION

HUMIDIFIER TRAY

Your heater is fitted with an enamelled tray behind the air outlet so that you can humidify the air. To fill the tray,
open the access panel / door as shown in the diagrams below and pour water into the tray using the spout built into
the access panel. The air will be humidified as it passes over the water in the tray.
