SERVICE
The installer may be able to observe and correct certain
problems which may arise when the unit is put into operation.
HOWEVER, it is recommended that only qualified
servicemen, using appropriate test equipment, be allowed
to service the heater.
As preliminary step, check wiring against diagram, check for
grounded, broken or loose wires. Check all wire ends to be sure
that they are making good contact.
