Cleaning Instructions

■
This heater contains electrical and mechanical components in the gas management, safety and airflow systems.
■
Such components may become inoperative or fail due to dust, dirt, wear, and aging.
■
Periodic cleaning and inspection as well as proper maintenance are essential to avoid serious injury or property
damage.
1. Before cleaning, shut off all gas supply valves and
disconnect the electrical supply.
2. The heater should have dir t or dust removed
periodically:
a. After each use, give the heater a general cleaning
using compressed air, a soft brush or dry rag on
its interior and exterior.
b. At least once a year, give the heater a thorough
cleaning. At this time, remove the fan and motor
assembly and brush or blow off the fan wheel,
giving attention to the individual fan blades. Dust
off the motor case to prevent the motor from
overheating and shutting the heater down. Ensure
the burner air inlet venturi ports and the throat of
the casting are free of dust accumulation and the
area between the heat chamber top and inside
case is also free of dust. The igniter should be
removed, cleaned, and its gap checked according
to the service instructions within this Owner's
Manual.
c. When cleaning, observe and obey the Warning
within these Cleaning Instructions. This same
Warning is also supplied on the heater.

Maintenance Instructions

1. The area surrounding the heater shall be kept clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Regulators must be periodically inspected to make
sure the regulator vents are not blocked. Debris,
insects, insect nests, snow, or ice on a regulator can
block vents and cause excess pressure at the heater.
3. 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 heater to make sure that the regulator is reliable.
