CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform
the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
• Keep exterior surface clean.
• Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning
agents.
• While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner dry at all times.
If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, do NOT try to use it. It must be
replaced.
• Keep the appliance area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Visually check burner flames.
Normal
• At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of 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 odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
Heat glow is excessively uneven.
Heat makes popping noises.
• Spiders 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, thermocouple and
emitter screen with a dry cloth if any carbon deposits develop.
• The burner is made from stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive
environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass
wire brush. Inspect the burner at least annually for cracks, insect nests, excessive
corrosion or any other damage. If the burner is damaged, it must be replaced with a
burner specified by the manufacturer before the appliance is put into operation.
