Cleaning and 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 assem-
bly 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 not be obstructed. Keep con-
trols, burner, and circulating air passage-
ways clean. Signs of possible blockage
include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of
flame.
Appliance does NOT reach the desired tem-
perature.
Appliance glow is excessively uneven.
Appliance makes popping noises.
● Spiders and insects 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 small particles.
● Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard.
Clean heater dome with warm soapy water if
any carbon deposits develop.
Check the tubing or the flexible hose (at
least once per month and each time the
cylinder is changed). If it shows signs of
cracking, splitting or other deterioration, it
must be exchanged for a new hose of the
same length and of the equivalent quality.
