5. Change the oil

While you’re at it: it’s best to change the oil before the heat arrives. Replace your oil by one that is suitable for high temperatures, such as Paroil S Xtreme and Paroil Extra. Be sure to top off correctly and avoid over- or underfilling.

Any obstruction in the unit may cause a restriction of airflow. So, remove any item or tool lying about inside, such as rags, books, tools, etc. – in the unit. Check for loose panel or foam as well and should you find any, be sure to put them in place again.
