Yearly Service Procedure
Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1. Turn the pilot flame to continuous. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the flame sensor.
If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2. Shut off gas to the heater and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 22). Glass may
be cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth (do not use abrasive cleaners).
3. Remove the crushed glass. Check the media for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of
the media is normal. If excessive sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your
dealer for service.
4. Inspect the burner and remove any debris.
 Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.
 Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
 If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
5. Re-install the crushed glass. Clean and replace the glass. If the glass is damaged, replace it. Make
sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight
seal. If it does not, re-align or replace the gasket to ensure an air-tight seal.
6. Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if
necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines.
If damage is found, discontinue use and contact your
dealer for service. Clean the air channels, ducts, and
blower (if applicable).
7. Start the main burner. Inspect the main burner and pilot
flame. After 15 minutes the flames should be
orange/yellow and not touch the top of the firebox. If the
pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your
dealer for service. Monitor blower operation.
8. Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent
termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination. The
venting system should be examined by a qualified agency.
