•
Regularly check the conditions of gas hose, and gas regulator if it must be
replaced only use original spare parts.
•
Before starting any maintenance operation on the heater disconnect from both
gas and electrical suppliers.
•
If the unit has not been used for a long period we advise that a technician carries
out a general check up before using. It is important to control the following:
•
Periodically check the gas supply hose conditions and, should it be changed, use
only original spare parts.
•
Check the starting electrode position (see Fig.5).
•
Check the connections of the safety thermostat and of the thermocouple: they
must always be clean.
If necessary clean the fan blade and the inside of the heater using compressed air.
