Before each use:
• Check the gas supply line for any possible leaks or damage.
• Check heater elements for debris. Visually check burner flames.
• Keep the heated area clear and free of combustible materials, petrol and flammable vapors, and
liquids. Ensure there is no obstruction of the flow of combustion and flueing.
Periodic maintenance:
Note: After servicing, the unit must be re-commissioned.
• Clean the heater with cleaning agents suitable for the unit’s construction material (i.e., stainless
steel cleaner).
• Inspect the gas supply piping system for signs of corrosion or failure. Replace if necessary.
Before conducting maintenance on the heater disconnect the power and gas supply. When pressure
testing the gas supply piping system follow these guidelines:
• At a test pressure in excess of 3.5 kPa the heater and ball shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system.
• At a test pressure equal to or less than 3.5 kPa the heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system.
Cleaning the main burner:
1
Use an air hose to blow any accumulated dust and/or dirt off the heater. Air hose pressure
should not exceed 30 psi.
2
Pass the air hose over the entire exposed area of the ceramic. A distance of 1 m from the unit is
recommended.
3
Place the air hose outlet into the venturi tube and allow the air to flow for approximately one minute.
During long periods of non-usage, remove or cover heater with a polyethylene bag and shut off gas
supply. If further service to the heater is desired, contact your representative or the factory.
