Maintenance

The Flush Mount Enclosure is made from durable materials, however regular care and maintenance of your product will help prolong its life.

It is recommended that you wipe down your Flush Mount Enclosure. With a soft cloth and mild detergent gently wipe the surfaces of the FME to remove the built up contaminants from the environment. Then with a clean cloth ensure all detergent is removed.

All chemicals in the atmosphere including cigarette smoke, pollution etc. will tarnish the surface of the Flush Mount Enclosure. In this case, additional cleaning and maintenance may be required. The cleaning process at least every three months will reduce the amount of build up and keep it looking as best it can. If the Flush Mount Enclosure is in a corrosive environment eg. salt spray, we recommend that you clean the FME every week.

Before cleaning or inspection activity, the heater must be switched off and cooled down completely. Do not use any abrasive materials or products to clean the Flush Mount Enclosure, this includes solvents, citrus based cleaners or other harsh cleaning products.

When handling the Flush Mount Enclosure, ensure that your hands are clean or that you use clean gloves as grease or dirt can mark the surface of the heater.

Do not use high pressure water to clean Flush Mount Enclosure. It is not recommended to hose down the FME and heater as water may penetrate the roof cavity.
