Coil maintenance
Before carrying out any work:
- Cut the coil supplies.
- Run the ventilation until the heating elements have completely cooled to ambient temperature.
- Cut the fan supplies.
During maintenance:
- Check the general condition of the coil,
- Retighten the heating element connections (tightening torque 4 Nm),
- Check the condition of the heating elements for fouling, damage or corrosion,
- Check that the temperature limiters are operating correctly,
- Check the earth conductor,
- If necessary, clean the heating elements.
Do not use a cleaning product or cloths with detachable fibres (e.g. cotton/wool) on the heating elements.
- Make sure the electric heater box is clean and free from foreign objects
- Remove any impurities using a vacuum cleaner and/or a cleaning product,
Never activate the heaters in the absence of air flow.

- Powering up without ventilation,
- Insufficient air flow,
- Clogged filters,
- Reversing the fan's direction of rotation,
- Air dampers closed.
