4 .0 Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance Safety

Turn off the gas to the main burner and allow the heater to cool for up to 30 minutes before servicing.
Service and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional service technician. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is important that the access
door compartment, burner, and circulating air passage-ways be kept clean to provide for adequate
combustion and ventilation air flow. Do not substitute materials or use components other than
factory supplied.

4.2 Recommended Service

1. Examine the venting system periodically.
2. Visually check the burner and pilot flames occasionally. Visually inspect height and colour of
flames (see Figure 24).
3. Clean the glass as needed. See section 4.3 for instructions on glass cleaning.
