Heated Glass Element: Service and Repair




Provide the following items:
1. Conductive paint.
2. Paint thinner.
3. Masking tape.
4. Silicone remover.
5. Thin brush
Wipe the glass adjacent to the broken heater line, clean with silicone remover and attach the masking tape as shown. Shake the conductive paint container well, and apply three coats with a brush at intervals of about 15 minutes apart. Remove the tape and allow sufficient time for drying before applying power.
For a better finish, scrape away excess deposits with a knife after completely dried. (allow 24 hours)

CAUTION: After repairing, clean the glass with a soft dry cloth or wipe along the grid line with a slightly moistened cloth.
