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.
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating
air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
Heater makes popping noises.
Heater glow is excessively uneven.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous
condition can damage 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.

warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.

45 minutes after use.
