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.
