There's a pamphlet that comes with the product. Perhaps googling it is good bcuz typing it is too cumbersome for me.

I have only used this unit to extract oil and tranny fuel, as far as cleaning I just used the vacuum to clean it. What ever residue that was left in the tube I just left it. My best guess would be to used a dishsoap water solution such as Dawn. Run it thourgh a couple of times, then let it dry. By the way I love this thing.

Hi Mike,Thank you for your question. I am replying in a few hours after business hours to expedite your request.The owners manual mentions only two maintenance tasks under normal use:1. To properly maintain the water heater, you should clean the air intake filter every 3-4 months.2. Clean the Inlet Water Filter and Recirculation Inlet Filter. However, the manual does not specify a time interval. We at GadgetsGo.com suggest that you check these filters once per year.Kind Regards,Ross KelsonGadgetsGo305-791-1101P.S.

I can only say that we do have to clean the filter every few weeks on it here in the Austin Tx area . And if you get in the habit of using the electronic on/off switch instead of the one at the bottom the heater lasts for years .

Keep the filter clean and run it as hard as you want and when it breaks throw it out and get a Comfort Furnace 1500UV, absoluotely the best made heater on the market right now.

There is a finger loop on the filter on the back side of the heater. Just pull gently away from the heater and the plastic filter assembly pops out. Clean by washing with dish soapy water, or brushing. At the end of each heating season, I like to clean the 5 ceramic discs by blowing air through the front of the heater. No need to remove the discs-just remove the dust filter. To re-install, insert the bottom of the plastic filter assembly into the heater housing then snap in the top ( where the finger loop is) into place.

My heater smelled the first two times i used it. Now when i use it its ok now its the paint burns off a little then it will be ok i love mine you should run it outside first and it will be ok.

We've not had this problem. I'm sure I don't need to say it, but perhaps a good filter cleaning would help. Maybe there's some manufacturing residue on it or something like that. I hope you're able to resolve this issue because it truly is a great heater.

The unit is easy to clean and rhw manufacturer directions recommend it be cleaned weekly. I soak the inside of the tank and base with a water/ vinegar mixture and then wipe down the inside of the base.

I clean mine with regular k&n; recharge cleaner. You can find it at pretty much any parts store or here on amazon.

Just use magnetic fan filters externally. You can find the here on amazon or athe Tiger Direct. That way you can just slide them of to clean when necessary

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

Nonono, I just clean it like once every 2nd month or something in the cleaning station. I clean it once per month just by adding soap to it and let it buzz for 30 seconds :)

If you have to ask, it is apparent that you hain't either mechanically inclined or familiar with elecftronics. Therefore, it may be to your benefit to take the unit into a certified repair shop as advised in the instruction sheet which came with the heater. Having it professionally repaired might prevent injurry to yourself or some other human bean. You fuggin' numbskull.
