1. Do not use the heater for extended periods
It is important to avoid using the bathroom heater for long periods of time to prevent explosions, electrical sparks, and excessive electricity consumption. Experts recommend using the heater for a maximum of 40 minutes, with a recommended operating time of 15 – 20 minutes. Allowing the heater to rest for 30 minutes after use ensures safety, energy efficiency, and prolongs the lifespan of the heater.
2. Avoid direct water contact with the heater
While bathroom heaters are designed to be waterproof and operate in humid environments, it is important to avoid spraying water directly on the heater. This can cause the internal electrical circuits to short-circuit, leading to explosions. Installing the heater higher and away from devices such as bathtubs and showerheads can help limit water contact.
3. Regularly clean and maintain the heater
Performing regular checks, cleaning, and maintenance on the heater ensures safe and clean operation. It is recommended to clean the heater every 6 months, especially before and after periods of continuous use, such as the beginning and end of winter. This helps ensure the heater’s longevity and safe operation.
4. Choose a reputable brand
It is important to choose heaters from reputable brands to ensure quality and minimize risks such as electrical sparks, fires, and explosions. Additionally, purchasing a genuine product from a trusted brand makes it easier to exchange or warranty the product in case of malfunctions or manufacturing defects.
