Maintenance tips for your Nelco space heater

  • Replace the air filter monthly when the space heater is in use. Failure to replace the air filter regularly restricts air flow through the heater.
  • Clean the heater monthly. To clean the heater, shut off the house circuit breaker for the heater or unplug the heater power cord to disconnect electrical power. Make sure the heating element is cool before cleaning the heater. Brush dust and lint off the grille using a soft-bristle brush then wipe the grille clean using a damp cloth. Allow the grille to dry completely then restore electrical power.
  • Vacuum dust and lint out of the heater cabinet yearly. Disconnect electrical power and remove the front grille panel. Use a nozzle vacuum hose attachment to clean all interior areas of the heater. Reassemble the heater and restore electrical power.
