AFTER OPERATING
MAINTENANCE
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you
perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis.
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.
Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This can cause the heater to
make popping noises. 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.
Note: In a salt air environment (such as near an ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly
than normal.
Frequently check for corroded areas and repair them promptly.
Keep exterior surfaces clean.
