- Reassemble the heater panels and verify proper airflow through the unit.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Installation and servicing of gas appliances in Australia must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and local regulations.
- Ensure the gas supply is OFF and the appliance is completely isolated from electrical power before handling any internal components.

- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working on gas appliances.
Tradie Pro Tip: When you're replacing a piezo ignitor, it's a good habit to give the pilot burner and thermocouple a quick inspection too. Sometimes a dirty pilot or a worn thermocouple can cause ignition issues that might be mistakenly blamed solely on the ignitor.
Pair With
Pair with other Bonaire heating spares like gas valves or control boards, and ensure you have a quality gas leak detector in your toolkit for all post-service checks to confirm system integrity.
