Nu-Klear Wine Tank Heater Instructions
Step 1
For best results, the Tank heater should wrap around the base of the wine tank, avoiding doors, taps, or protrusions. The heater should wrap as far around the circumference as possible. The element can overlap, provided the outside layer is not firmly attached to the inside layer. The foam insulation faces out, helping force the heat into the tank. To improve the efficiency of the heating process, extra layers of insulation can be added to the tank.
Step 2
To attach the element to the tank, we recommend using a 50mm wide webbing strap or a material that will not damage the outside foam. String is not advisable unless there is adequate protection between the string and the outer foam. A wide adhesive cloth can also be used to hold the element in place.
Step 3
More than one element can be run simultaneously in the same tank. The element is not designed to be subjected to constant moisture. As the heater is an electrical product, it should always run through a residual current device (RCD).
Looking after your Tank Heater
- Never allow the heater to get a hard crease through it.
- Before putting the heater away, always ensure it is clean and dry.
- To store the heater, always roll the heater loosely with the foam side rolled inwards.
- Always roll the heater out on a smooth, clean surface, such as clean concrete or carpet, as grit and stones will damage the element.
