before doing maintenance.
WARNING
To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your Heater perform
the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
• Keep exterior surfaces clean.
• Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or cor-
rosive cleaning agents. For stainless steel surfaces, use a stain-
less steel cleaner available at most retail stores.
• While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the
burner, pilot assembly and mantle area dry at all times. If the reg-
ulator 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 circu-
lating air passages 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.
• Light is uneven or burns with a yellow smokey flame.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner orifices. This 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 small particles.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean light and burner
with warm soapy water if any carbon deposits develop.
• NOTE: In a salt-air environment (such as near an ocean), corro-
sion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check for corrod-
ed areas and repair them promptly.
