You can put it in the oven on very very low for 3 hours if you prefer, but I thought that was a big waste of electricity. Radiator worked fine and it was only on some of the time. Just leave it and turn them now and again.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199859409385042568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-22180437088020981552012-12-12T13:40:20.788-08:002012-12-12T13:40:20.788-08:00Yep, every single year.
