proper maintenance are essential to avoid
serious injury or property damage.
1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves
and disconnect the electrical supply.
2. The heater should have dirt or dust removed
periodically:
a. Before each use give the heater a general
cleaning using compressed air or a soft
brush or dry rag on its case and internal
components. At this time, dust off the motor
case to prevent the motor from over-heat-
ing.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thor-
ough cleaning. At this time, remove the fan
and motor assembly and brush or blow off
the fan blade assembly. Additionally, make
sure the burner air inlet venturi ports and
the casting are free of dust accumulation.
WARNING
Do not use a pressure washer, water, or liquid
cleaning solution on any gas controls. Use of a
pressure washer, water, or liquid cleaning solu-
tion on the control components can cause severe
personal injury or property damage due to water
and/or liquids:
