Clean the outside cover with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth.
Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners or scourers.
Clean the cover vents with a soft brush.
Check the flue, make sure there are no obstructions. After cleaning, make sure that the flue is
properly fitted so that NO combustion will be released to the inside of the room.
Make sure that NO dirt is dropped to the inside of the gas water heater.
Check fittings and connections regularly with a 50/50% soap and water solution for gas leaks.
If there is a leak, stop using the gas water heater and close the valve on the cylinder.
Remove the batteries from the gas water heater.
Contact your installer or your local qualified gas dealer.

time, or if the temperatures drop below 0˚C ambient temperature.
