Make sure all switches are turned off before cleaning the convector.

Remove cover by lifting it up and swinging the bottom out.

Do not remove styrofoam trays unless replacing the old one with a new one.

Make sure the drain from the drip pan and drip tray is not clogged. Test by pouring one quart of hot water into the long tray. If the water does not go down the drain, or the drain becomes clogged, immediately contact the appropriate Cooperator Services Offices listed below.

Fan coils (that row of thin metal sheets inside the convector) should not be cleaned or vacuumed during air cooling season. Never use a sharp object, such as a knife of screwdriver, to clean the fan coil.

Filters can be cleaned at anytime. During the winter, filters may be vacuumed and washed; during the summer, they should not be washed.

To replace the cover, place it flat against the convector, lift it up one (1) inch, and let it drop into position.

If there is a leak, a pot or towel should be placed under the convector until the unit is serviced.

Cooperators who are unable to check their convectors because of age or a physical condition can call their CSO and a RiverBay staff member will be sent to check for clogged or malfunctioning drains and convectors.
