1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and
disconnect electrical supply.
2. The brood heater should have dirt or dust removed
periodically:
a. Af ter each flock or between building re-
population, give the brood 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 brood heater down.
b. At least once a year, give the brood 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. When washing with water, observe and obey the
Warning within these Cleaning Instructions. This
same Warning is also supplied on the brood
heater.
WARNING
This brood heater may be washed only on the external
case assembly provided:
A. The brood heater is disconnected from the electrical
supply.
B. All access panels are securely closed.
C. Water spray nozzle shall not discharge within 1.83 m
of the brood heater.
D. The water pressure does not exceed 3.1 BAR for 10
seconds on each side of the brood heater.
E. The brood heater is not reconnected to electrical
supply for a minimum of 1 hour or until the brood
heater is thoroughly dry.
Improper cleaning of the brood heater can cause severe
personal injury or property damage due to water and/or
cleaning solution:
1. In electrical components, connections and wires
causing electrical shock or component failure.
2. On gas control components causing corrosion which
can result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from the
leak.
Clean internal components of the brood heater with a
soft, dry brush or cloth, or compressed air.

Cleaning Instructions
WARNING
Fire, Burn, and Explosion Hazard
■
This brood heater contains electrical and mechanical components in the gas management, safety and airflow systems.
■
Such components may become inoperative or fail due to dust, dirt, wear, aging, or the corrosive atmosphere of an
animal confinement building.
■
Periodic cleaning and inspection as well as proper maintenance are essential to avoid serious injury or property
damage.
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 brood heater’s surrounding area shall be kept
clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
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.
5. Review all brood heater markings (ie. warnings, start-
up/shutdown, electrical wiring, diagrams, etc.) for
legibility. Ensure that none are cut, torn, or otherwise
damaged. Any damaged markings must be replaced
immediately by contacting L.B. White Co., Inc.
Markings are available at no cost.
6. Inspect gas hoses for nicks,cuts, or corroded fittings.
Replace the complete gas hose assembly if defects
are found.
7. Inspect the brood heater’s electrical connections.
Replace any terminals that are corroded.
