MAINTENANCE

1.

It is important to keep the burner and the burner

 

compartment clean. This must be done periodically, at

 

least once per season. (See Cleaning Procedure).

2.

Clean the brass trim using a soft clean cloth, slightly

 

dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft clean

 

cloth. Do NOT use brass polish or household cleaners

FLAME ADJUSTMENT (RN/RP MODELS)

For units equipped with Hi/Lo valves, flame adjustment is accomplished by rotating the Hi/Lo adjustment knob located near the centre of the gas control. (Fig. 38 & 39)

 

as these products will damage the brass trim. Lemon

 

oil can be obtained at supermarkets or hardware

 

stores.

3.

The optional FK12 and FK24 Fan requires periodic

 

cleaning. Check the fan and the area around the fan

 

assembly and wipe or vacuum at least once per month

 

during the operating season.

4.

Contact your local representative to arrange an annual

 

service program.
