MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance
activities on a regular basis:
•
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
•
Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
•
While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all times. If
the gas control is exposed to water in any way,
DO NOT
try to use it. It must be replaced.
•
Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean. Signs of
possible blockage include:
•
Gas odour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
•
Heater does
NOT
reach the desired temperature.
•
Heater glow is excessively uneven.
•
Heater makes popping noises.
•
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the heater and
render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help
clear away smaller particles.
•
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. If any carbon deposits develop, clean the dome and burner with
warm soapy water.
Note: In environments with a high salt content (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly
than normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them.
