INSPECTING
AND CLEANING
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and
let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and
circulating air passageways of
heater clean. Inspect these areas
of heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a
qualified service person. Heater
may need more frequent cleaning
due to excessive lint from
carpeting, pet hair, bedding
material, etc.
CLEANING BURNER
INJECTOR HOLDER AND
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the
proper amount of air to mix with the
gas. This provides a clean burning
flame. Keep these holes clear of dust,
dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean these air
inlet holes prior to each heating season.
Blocked air holes will create soot. We
recommend that you clean the unit
every three months during operation
and have heater inspected yearly by a
qualified service person.
We also recommend that you keep the
burner tube and pilot assembly clean
and free of dust and dirt. To clean these
parts we recommend using compressed
air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local
computer store, hardware store, or
home center may carry compressed air
in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner
in the blow position. If using
compressed air in a can, please follow
the directions on the can. If you don’t
follow directions on the can, you could
damage the pilot assembly.
NOTE:
Removing the rear panel (Figure 5,
page 7) and top grates of your stove
will make cleaning easier.
1. Shut off the unit, including the
pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at
least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot, and slots in
air shutter for dust and dirt.
3. Using Phillips head driver loosen
set screw on air shutter and rotate
shutter toward rear of unit.
NOTE:Before rotating shutter
mark the position of shutter so
you can
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning,
refer to Installing Gas Log Heater
into Stove, page 9, to properly
replace logs.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame
holes with the heater running. All
slotted burner flame holes should be
open with flame present. Some burner
flame holes may become blocked by
debris or rust, with no flame present. If
so, turn off heater and let cool. Either
remove blockage or replace burner.
Blocked burner flame holes will create
soot.
TRANSPORTING STOVE
Porcelain enamel coatings contain
glass and are brittle. To prevent
cracking of the porcelain finish, do not
transport stove with top grates in place.
move it back to the correct position
after cleaning.
4. Opening the shutter as in step 3,
allows you to inspect the orifice.
After cleaning the area adjust air
shutter to the original position.
5. Blow air through the slots and
holes in the burner.
6. Blow air into the primary air holes
on the injector holder.
7. In case any large clumps of dust
have now been pushed into the burner
repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yel-
low tip on the pilot flame indicates
dust and dirt in the pilot assembly.
There is a small pilot air inlet hole
about two inches from where the pilot
flame comes out of the pilot assembly
(See Figure 26). With the unit off,
lightly blow air through the air inlet
hole. You may blow through a drink-
ing straw if compressed air is not
available.
