MAINTENANCE/CLEANING/STORAGE

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.

Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating 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 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. Clean dome and emitter with warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.

CLEANING :

1.Remove the reflector and emitter by removing the 4 screws that fasten the emitter to the lower screen cone .

Any debris in the burner port should be cleared. Any rust can be removed carefully with a wire brush. Never use a piece of wood, or other materials that might break off and block the ports.

2.Remove lower cone cylinder by removing the 4 screws which attach the lower cone cylinder to the control cylinder. Clear debris on the surface of thermocouple.

3.Remove the 4 screws at the bottom of control cylinder. Clear the debris of the surface and the inside of the injection nozzle.

NOTE :

It is recommended that the painted components from the emitter down are periodically protected with a coat of automobile wax. If repainting is necessary, paint only the post and gas cylinder housing. Never paint the reflector, head assembly, or instruction plate on post.

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 combustion 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.
