Maintenance
Battery Replacement
We recommend that the batteries in this appliance be replaced
at the start of each heating season even if they appear to be
operationally. You do not want to find out that you have dead
batteries during a harsh winter storm. If you use your appliance a
lot, they may need to be replaced more than once a year. See the
section on Installation for information on the Battery installation
for the Controller Backup. See the section on Remote Operation
for information on how to install batteries in the hand held Remote
Control.
Heat Exchanger Bypass
This appliance was designed and built to meet newly proposed
rules of efficiency proposed by Federal Regulatory Agencies. A
great deal of engineering time was spent to ensure this appliance
would provide years of reliable and durable service while operating
at a very high efficiency level. Keeping this in mind, there may
be several conditions where this level of efficiency may not be
desirable. If you are operating this appliance at a very high altitude
or in extremely cold climates, start-up may be difficult. There may
also be a situation where the high level of efficiency isn’t wanted
such as if the unit is located in a very small room and the heat output
is simply too great. An optional bypass has been designed into
the heat exchanger which when removed reduces the operational
efficiency by approximately 10%. If it is desired you can utilize the
bypass by following these simple steps.
