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 odor 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 dome and engine with warm soapy
water.
Note: in a salt-air environment (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently
check the corroded areas and repair them promptly.
