Repair service should be performed by qualified persons. The heater should be inspected before initial use. An annual cleaning of control compartment and safety performance check should be made by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required when exposed to the excessive lint conditions due to carpeting and bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean. Any safety screen, casing top, or guard removed for servicing the heater must be replaced prior to operating heater.
If the venting system is not maintained in proper operating condition, the vent safety shutoff will not allow heater to operate. Periodic examination of the entire venting system as a routine part of the safety performance check is recommended on an annual basis.
It is advised that the pilot and main burner flames be checked at least twice during the heating season for any changes in flame characteristics. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
