User's Manual: Radiant Heater
WARNING: CERAMIC FIBER MATERIALS
The appliance may contain ceramic ber and/or berglass materials. Ceramic ber materials,
such as chamber liners, may contain carcinogenic particles (chrystobalites) after exposure
to heat. Airborne particles from berglass or ceramic ber components have been listed as
potentially carcinogenic by the State of California. Take the following precautions when
removing, replacing and handling these items.
Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-tting
clothing, gloves and eye protection.
WARNING: CHECKING IGNITOR
Never test an ignitor by placing a screwdriver (or other metallic object) across the high voltage
clips. Check the ignitors only by observing spark at appliance ignition electrodes, with fuel
supply OFF. Using any other method could cause ignitor damage and severe personal injury.
CAUTION: Any time you replace a component or disassemble any part of the burner for
service/maintenance, perform a complete operational test after reassembly to verify the burner
operates correctly. Failure to verify operation could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage
Motor maintenance
The PSC motor is constructed with permanently-lubricated bearings, and requires no oiling.
Carefully energize ignitor and check for spark arcing at the high voltage terminals. If spark jumps the
gap, ignitor is good.
Tank maintenance
If it becomes necessary to drain the fuel tank there is a drain plug located on the bottom of the tank.
Use a NIOSH N95 certied respirator. This respirator meets requirements for protection from
chrystobalites. Actual job requirements or NIOSH regulations may require other or additional
protection. For information, refer to the NIOSH website, http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
Ceramic ber removal
To prevent airborne dust, thoroughly wet ceramic ber with water before handling. Place ceramic ber
materials in a plastic bag and seal to dispose. Avoid blowing, tearing, sawing or spraying berglass or
ceramic ber materials. If such operations are necessary, wear extra protection to prevent breathing
dust. Wash work clothes separately from other laundry. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly afterwards to
prevent contamination of other clothing.
NIOSH First aid procedures:
Eye exposure — irrigate immediately
Breathing — fresh air.
