- Test & Commission: Restore power to the unit. Perform a thorough functional test of the heater, checking for proper ignition, stable flame, correct airflow, and effective flue gas exhaust. Conduct a CO test to verify safe operation.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Installation and servicing of gas appliances must only be performed by a currently licenced gas fitter in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and all local regulations.
- Always ensure electrical power is fully isolated and verified before commencing any work on the appliance.
- This kit is specifically for Bonaire MB3 & MB4 Series ducted gas heaters; compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.
- Regular carbon monoxide (CO) testing should be part of any gas heater service to ensure safety.
Tradie Pro Tip: When replacing a combustion fan, always do a full inspection of the heat exchanger for cracks or blockages. A failing fan can sometimes be a symptom of a deeper issue, and a simple swap won't fix poor combustion or CO leakage.
Pair with gas pressure gauges and a quality carbon monoxide detector for a complete service kit. Also check out our range of Bonaire control boards for other common spares.
