Service Instructions
WARNING
Burn Hazard
■ Heater surfaces are hot for a period of time
after the heater has been shut down.
■ Allow the heater to cool before performing
service, maintenance, or cleaning.
■ Failure to follow this warning will result in
burns causing injury.
WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not disassemble or attempt to repair any
heater components or gas train components.
■ All component parts must be replaced if
defects are found.
■ Failure to follow this warning will result in
fire or explosions, causing property damage,
injury, or death.
1. Close the fuel supply valve to the heater and discon-
nect the electrical supply before servicing unless
necessary for your service procedure.
2. Clean the heater's orifice with compressed air or a
soft, dry rag. Do not use files, drills, broaches, etc. to
clean the orifice hole. Doing so will enlarge the hole,
causing combustion or ignition problems. Replace
the orifice if it cannot be cleaned properly.
3. The high limit switches, HEAT/VENT switch, and
thermostat can be tested by disconnecting the leads
at the component, and jumpering the leads together:
-- Reconnect the electrical supply and
open fuel supply valves.
-- If the heater lights, the component is
defective and must be replaced.
-- Do not leave the jumper on or operate
the heater if the part is defective.
Replace the part immediately.
-- An alternate method for checking the
components is to perform a continuity
check.
