Maintenance Tips

• Annual heat exchanger inspection & cleaning: Check the TCORE2® titanium‑stabilized aluminized steel heat exchanger for soot, corrosion, and blockages — keeping it clean preserves ~83% AFUE and prevents overheating.
• Burner & ignition system care: Clean burner tubes and inspect direct spark ignition and flame sensor for reliable starts and efficient propane combustion.
• Keep venting unobstructed: Ensure the power‑vent flue and combustion air paths are clear of debris to maintain proper draft and safe exhaust.
• Fan & blower maintenance: Remove dust from the axial fan and check motor bearings, vibration mounts, and airflow balance to avoid overheating and noise.
• Tighten gas & electrical connections: Verify 115 V wiring, gas fittings, and control wiring are secure and free of corrosion for consistent operation.
• Monitor LED/diagnostics: Use status LEDs and 7‑segment fault codes for early issue detection before failures occur.
• Keep exterior clean: Regularly remove dust/debris from cabinet and louvers to support airflow and heater efficiency.
• Professional annual service: A qualified HVAC tech should perform combustion checks, pressure testing, and safety control inspection.
