8 Maintenance
1.
Your Super Saver Bunsen Jet Radiant Brooder should be inspected before each use and at
least annually by a qualified service person.
2.
The appliance area should be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.

The gas hose should be inspected prior to each use of the brooder. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the brooder being
put into operation.
4.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
5.
Inspect brooder and gas connections periodically for gas leaks with an approved gas leak
testing solution. (Soap and water work well.)
6.
The burner and pilot orifice must be kept clean and free of carbon deposits at all times.
7.
The brooder must be cool before wash-down. Do not operate brooder for one hour following
wash-down.
8.
The thermostat bulb must be kept clean to assure proper temperature control.
