To enjoy outstanding performance of your heater for years make sure to perform the following
maintenance activities on a regular basis:
●
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
-Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable, corrosive or abrasive cleaners.
-While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all
time. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT try to use it. It must be replaced.
●
After a long break from operation, the unit should be inspected for spiders, spider webs or other
insects.
