MAINTAINANCE/STORAGE
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.
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.
NOTE :
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.
