WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners,
and circulating air passageways of heater clean. In-
spect these areas of heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a qualified service per-
son. 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 opening 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 opening
prior to each heating season. Blocked air opening 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.
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 opening on injector
holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 26a and 26b).
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 opening 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. A yellow 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 27). With the unit off, lightly blow air
through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw
