MAINTENANCE

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following
maintenance activities on a regular basis:
Keep exterior surfaces 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 and pilot assembly 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.
Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean.
Signs of possible blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
Heater glow is excessively uneven.
Heater makes popping noises.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the
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. If any carbon deposits develop, clean dome and
engine with warm soapy water.
Note: in a salt-air environment (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than
normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them promptly.
