 2.  Turn OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is 

installed in heater. 

  3.  Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

  4.  Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

  5.  Remove upper louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

  6.  If installed, remove optional blower assembly (4 screws).

  7.  Disconnect inlet supply tubing, outlet supply tubing, pilot supply 

tubing and thermocouple lead from gas valve.

 8.  If heater is attached to wall, disconnect gas supply line from 

inlet regulator.

  9.  Remove heater from wall.

 10.  Remove gas valve bracket from casing assembly (4 screws to

 11.  Remove hydraulic thermostat bulb from thermostat bulb clip 

located at casing assembly bottom.

 12.  Remove gas valve from gas valve bracket.

 13.  As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas 

leaks at all gas connections before upper louver, reflector and 

lower louver are replaced onto casing assembly.

Removing Main Burner From Casing Assembly

  1. Turn OFF gas supply to the heater.

  2. Turn  OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is 

installed in heater. 

  3. Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

  4. Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

  5. Disconnect supply tubing from orifice holder(s).

  6. Remove pilot bracket from main burner assembly (2 screws).

 7. Remove main burner assembly from casing assembly (4 

screws).

  8. Remove orifice shield from main burner assembly. Attach orifice 

shield to new main burner assembly.

  9. As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas leaks 

at all gas connections before lower louver is replaced onto casing 

assembly.

Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions

Depressing the ignitor button completely causes a spark to occur 

at the pilot. 
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8” (3mm) 

from the pilot. The spark must occur at the point the pilot flame hits 

the thermocouple. 
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a 

match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo 

under this condition.
