- Cleaning: Periodically, with the power disconnected, gently clean any dust or debris from the fan blades and heating element using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Ensure no foreign objects obstruct the airflow.
- Inspection: Annually, or if you notice reduced performance, inspect the wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Check the fan blades for any damage.
