It is recommended that before using the heater after a period of 3 months or before the start of the heating season the
owner should:
•
Check the condition of the gas cylinder.
•
Check the hose assembly for any wear or damage. If the hose and regulator assembly is damaged or more than
5 years old replace with an approved hose and regulator assembly.
•
Check for leaks.
Servicing shall be carried out by an authorized or qualified service person only.
If service is required, remove the reflector hood and burner mesh assembly to access the ignition system and gas
valve.
Replace the faulty item with correct approved component. Any replacement or accessories are available from your
local distributors/dealer.
The 3 most common problems associated with any gas heater are gas leaks, wrong gas pressure and dirt.
•
DO NOT USE YOUR HEATER WITHOUT CHECKING FOR LEAKS. Leaks can occur during shipment and
installation. A simple solution of soap and water dabbed on the fittings will bubble if a gas leak is present.
•
WRONG GAS PRESSURE. Too much gas pressure may severely damage your heater. Too little gas pressure
and your heater will not burn correctly. If your installer cannot check gas pressure, call your gas supplier.
•
DUST AND DIRT. This heater requires some cleaning. Replacement of thermocouple or pilot assembly is
generally not needed. Review CLEANING AND CARE in this manual.
