CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
-
BURNER INjECTOR HOLDER AND
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount
of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean
burning ame. 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, or as needed, and
have fireplace 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. 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.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet
holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see
Figure 40).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in
the burner.
4. Check the injector holder located at the end
of the burner tube again. Remove any large
particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a
soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the
injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been
pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. Additional cleaning
may be needed for proper pilot operation based on
use/lack of use. A yellow tip on the pilot ame may
indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There
is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where
the pilot ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see
Figures 41 or 42, page 25, depending on model).
With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air
inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw
if compressed air is not available.
