  MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

It is important that regular maintenance is carried out on the heater to maintain efficient operation. All maintenance should be carried out ONLY by authorized service personnel. Inspect and clean at least every six months or more frequently in adverse conditions.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not clean heater with cleaners that are combustible or corrosive.
REGULAR SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

1. The whole gas system, hose assembly, regulator, pipes, and burner should be inspected for damage and leaks before each use and at least annually by an authorized person for the life of the heater. To check the gas hose within the mounting arm, disassemble heater by reversing the installation instructions as outlined in installation section of this manual. The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged. The replacement hose must be purchased from Bromic Heating Pty Ltd.

2. VISUALLY CHECK BURNER FLAMES.
   During heaters function visually check that all burners are alight and glowing hot. This can be done by observing the red glow through the translucent face, or by peering down the product combustion passageway. Note: A slight variation in colour is to be expected.
   

3. Clean burners: Burners can be cleaned by directing compressed air (max20PSI) at outlet ports. Avoid directing air at gasket material between ceramic tile and burner cup.

4. Clean manifold and injectors: Undo gas hose from gas valve outlet (heater should be switched off) and inject compressed air (max20PSI) down the inlet fittings.

5. Clean dust and foreign matter from inside of heater housing: Open up rear housing and clear dust using compressed air (max20PSI) and a damp cloth.

6. Remove debris, spider and insect nests from, control compartment, burner and circulation air passageways of the heater with heavy-duty pipe cleaner or compressed air to keep appliance clean and safe for use. Never clear ports or other openings with toothpicks or other articles that will break and block the ports.

7. In a salt-air environment, such as near an ocean, corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Remove salt spray from the heater immediately to prolong heater life. Check frequently for corroded areas and repair them promptly.

8. The exterior components of the heater are constructed

9. Over the life of the heater internal non-painted parts may slightly discolour from high temperatures emitted by the heater. This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the operation of the appliance.

10. Replacement parts can be purchased to restore the heater to its original appearance from Bromic Heating Pty Ltd.

IMPORTANT
Service and repair should be done by a qualified service person.
The heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary.
It is imperative that control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean.

IMPORTANT
Do not apply any additional surface coating to the heater under any circumstances. Use of additional coating other than those applied during manufacture could result in hazardous reactions such as toxic fumes or fires. Additional coatings will void the warranty.
