Inspecting Model
RA/RAD 500
Model RA/RAD 500 - To determine need for cleaning, inspect the heat
exchanger tubes through the smaller access door on the end of the heater
opposite the burner (the turning box end).
• Turn the four outer door latches 1/4 turn.
• Remove the door panel by lifting upward and outward on the
door handle
• Using a 1/2” wrench, remove the nuts and washers from the left
turning box door. Swing open the door.
• Shine a ashlight into the heat exchanger. As little as 1/16” ash
build-up on the internal tube surfaces can dramatically decrease
the thermal efciency of this heater. If the ash build-up is over
1/16”, proceed with the cleaning.
NOTE: You cannot adequately make this determination through the ame
observation door. The majority of the settlement of ash accumulates in
the heat exchanger tubes.
