To enjoy outstanding performance of your heater for years make sure to perform the following maintenance
activities 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 time. If
the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT try to use it. It must be replaced.
After a long break from operation, the unit should be inspected for spiders, spider webs or other insects
Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls. Burner and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible
blockage include:
--Gas dour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
--Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
--Heater glow is excessively uneven.
--Heater makes popping noises.
Spider and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage 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 inside with soapy water if any
carbon develops. Always be careful when cleaning the glass tube.
