SOLVING COMMON PROBLEMS
The 3 most common problems associated with any gas heater are gas leaks, wrong gas pressure and dirt.
%
DO NOT USE YOUR HEATER WITHOUT CHECKING FOR LEAKS.
Leaks can occur during shipment
and installation. A simple solution of soap and water dabbed on the fittings will bubble if a gas leak is
present.
%
WRONG GAS PRESSURE.
Too much gas pressure may severely damage your heater. Too little gas
pressure and your heater will not burn correctly. If your installer cannot check gas pressure, call your
gas supplier.
%
DUST AND DIRT.
This heater requires some cleaning. If the pilot light will not stay, your heater is
probably due for a good cleaning. Replacement of thermocouple or pilot assembly is generally not
needed. Review CLEANING AND CARE in this manual.
