Cleaning Instructions
WARNING
Fire, Burn, and Explosion Hazard
■ This heater contains mechanical components
used in the gas management and safety
systems.
■ Such components may become inoperative or
fail due to dust, dirt, wear or aging.
■ Periodic cleaning and inspection as well as
proper maintenance are essential to avoid
serious injury or damage
1. Before cleaning, close all gas supply valves.
2. Before each use give the heater a general
cleaning using compressed air, a soft brush, or
dry rag, on its case and internal components.
3. At least once a year, clean the electrode rod
with steel wool or emery cloth and inspect the
electrode tip for proper gapping. See FIG. 16
for detail.
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
solution on the control components can cause
severe personal injury or property damage due
to water and/or liquids:
* On gas control valves causing corrosion which
can result in gas leaks and fire or explosion from
the leak.
Clean all components of the heater with
pressurized air, a dry brush or a dry cloth.
Maintenance Instructions
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Ensure the area surrounding the heater is free and clear
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flam
-
mable vapors and liquids.
2. Inspect the gas hose. Replace the gas hose immediately
if nicks or cuts are found.
3. Make sure the wire from the igniter to the electrode is in
good condition, without any nicks or cuts. Replace the
electrode (wire is included), if defects are found.
4. Check for gas leaks using approved leak detectors.
5. Review all heater markings (i.e. warnings, start-up,
shut-down, etc.) at the time of maintenance for legibility.
Make sure none are cut, torn, or otherwise damaged.
Any damaged markings must be replaced immediately by
contacting the L.B. White Co., LLC Dataplates, start-up
and shut-down instructions and warnings are available
at no cost.
6. Ensure the proper regulator is matched to the heater
being used. Regulators are set to different pressures,
depending on the design requirements of the heater.
Mis-matching of the regulator to the improper heater can
result in over or under firing of the heater, resulting in
soot, high levels of carbon monoxide, or damage to the
heater and surrounding area. If in doubt, contact L.B.
White Co.
7. Inspect the regulator to make sure the regulator vent is
not blocked. Debris, insects, insect nests, tar, snow, or
ice on a regulator can block vents and cause excess
pressure at the heater.
ANNUALLY:
1. 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.
2. Inspect the electrode assembly and other related burner
components. See Electrode section on page 16 for
details.
a. Clean the electrode rod with steel wool or emery cloth.
b. Inspect the electrode tip for proper gapping.
See FIG. 16 for detail.
