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 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 and have heater
inspected yearly by a qualied 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 com-
pressed 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 37).
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 two inches from where
the pilot ame comes out of the pilot assembly (see
Figure 38). 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.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Install-
ing Logs Embers and Lava Rock, page 17, to
properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized
or larger).
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with the
heater running. All slotted burner ame holes should
be open with ame present. All round burner ame
holes should be open with a small blue ame pres-
ent. Some burner ame holes may become blocked
by debris or rust, with no ame present. If so, turn
off heater and let cool. Remove blockage, blocked
burner ame holes will create soot.
