Burner and Burner Orifice

Servicing

Instructions

Over a period of time, the burner and orifice may start to

become blocked if cleaning is not provided. This can create

poor burning of the fuel gas, resulting in nuisance heater

problems. Removal of burner and orifice may be required if

blockages cannot be removed by general cleaning. If

removal is necessary, refer to the following instructions.

Familiarize yourself with these procedures before

disassembly.

1. Shut off the gas supply to the heater and disconnect

the heater’s electrical supply. Allow heater to cool.

2. Remove the hose and sediment trap from the inlet of

the gas control valve.

3. Remove the burner retaining bolt or screws from the

underside of the heater.

4. Open the burner end access panel (if applicable).

5. Remove the protective cover from over the control

valve (if applicable).

6. The gas control valve with manifold can now be

readied for removal from the heater. This procedure

varies slightly depending on model and age of the

heater. Some models allow the removal of two screws

that can be accessed at the control valve inlet.

Some may require removal of a bracket at the control

valve inlet, or beneath the throttle valve on the

manifold.

Others may also require removal of a bolt that secures

the control valve to the heater base.
