CHArge COnTrOl OverrIDe
The heater is equipped with a charge control override feature that allows the user to force the heater to target a full
core charge level. This override can be initiated or cancelled at any time. If an override is initiated, the heater targets
a full core charge level during the next off-peak period. It continues to charge during off-peak hours until the heater
achieves full (maximum) core charge or until the override is cancelled. Once full charge is achieved or the override
is cancelled, the heater charges according to its standard configuration.

mAInTenAnCe AnD CleAnIng
As with most heating systems, air borne particles and odors in the room
may be drawn into the heating system and oxidized. Since the room air
passes directly through the hot brick core of the ETS heater, the oxidation
process will change the properties of these particles and odors. Odors can
be amplified; thus, it is recommended not to operate the heating system
if odors such as those from paints, varnishes, or chemicals are present in
the air. Allow the area to be completely aired out before operating the heater.
As for air borne particles, after they have been oxidized they are expelled
back into the room and may accumulate on the heater or other surfaces.
Over time, these particles may appear as a black residue, commonly referred
to as soot. High concentrations of air borne particles from such things as
aerosols, dust, candles, incense, pet hair, high humidity, smoke, or cooking
can contribute to poor indoor air quality and accelerate this process. To minimize the black residue build-up, clean
the outer surface of the heater on a regular basis. Wash the cabinet, only when cool, with a nonabrasive household
cleaner. Do not use scouring powders or furniture polish. Steffes recommends using "Soft Scrub with Bleach"
brand cleanser or an equal.
Regularly vacuum around all sides of the heater. Check the back of the heater to make sure no objects have fallen
behind it and the grill area to make sure there isn't anything obstructing air flow. Check all sides of the heater to be
sure the required clearances are not being violated. Objects should never be placed on top of the heater.
No additional routine maintenance is required; however, having a professional service technician clean the blower
periodically will decrease the likelihood of undesirable blower noise due to dust accumulation.
Risk of fire. Can cause
injury or death. Violation
of the clearance
requirements can cause
improper operation of the
equipment. Maintain the
placement and clearance
requirements specified.
