CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater make sure you perform the following maintenance
routines on a regular basis:
• Keep exterior surfaces clean:
- Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable, corrosive or abrasive cleaners
- While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and pilot assembly dry at all times. If
the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT try and use it. It must be replaced
• At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for spiders, spider webs or other insects air flow might be
obstructed
• Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
- Gas odour with extreme yellow tipping of flame
- Heater does not reach the desired temperature
- Heater glow is excessively uneven
- Heater makes popping noises
• Spiders and insects can nest in burners or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the heater and
render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help
clear away smaller particles
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean reflector and glass tube with soapy water if any carbon
deposits develop. Always be careful when cleaning the glass tube.
