WARNING
This heater must not be washed. Use of a pressure
washer, water or liquid cleaning solution on this heater
can cause severe personal injury or property damage due
to water and/or cleaning solution:
A. In electrical components, connections and wires
causing electrical shock or component failure.
B. On gas control components causing corrosion which
can result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the
leak.
The heater must be cleaning in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions without being subjected to
liquid spray or wetting.
1. Have your gas supplier check all gas piping annually
for leaks or restrictions in gas lines. Also, at this time
have your gas supplier clean out the sediment trap of
any debris that may have accumulated.
2. The aappliance aarea sshall bbe kkept cclear aand ffree ffrom
combustible m
materials, ggasoline, aand oother fflammable
vapors aand lliquids.
3. Regulators can wear out and function improperly.
Have your gas supplier check the date codes on all
regulators installed and check delivery pressures to
the appliance to make sure that the regulator is
reliable.
4. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can
block vents and cause excess pressure at the
appliance.
1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and
disconnect electrical supply.
2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed
periodically:
a. After each use, give the heater a general cleaning
using compressed air or a soft brush on its interior
and exterior. At this time, dust off the motor case
to prevent the motor from over-heating and
shutting the heater down.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough
cleaning. At this time, remove the fan and motor
assembly and brush or blow off the fan wheel,
giving attention to the individual fan blades.
Additionally, make sure the burner air inlet venturi
ports and the “throat” of the casting are free of
dust accumulation and the area between the heat
chamber top and inside case is also free of dust.
c. Observe and obey the Warning within these
Cleaning Instructions. This same Warning is also
supplied on the heater.
