per year when the heater is given a thorough cleaning.

Remove the high limit switch from the heat
chamber.

Holding the switch by one of its mounting legs or
electrical terminals, apply a small flame only to the
sensing surface on the back of the switch. Be
careful not to melt the plastic housing of the switch
when conducting this test.

Within a minute, you should hear a pop coming from
the switch, which indicates the contacts of the
switch have opened.

Allow the switch cool down for about a minute before
firmly pressing the red reset button on the switch.
