HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides 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 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. 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 dam-
age the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow 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 32).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
4. Check injector holder located at end of
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 pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on
pilot ame indicates 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 pilot assembly (see Figure 33). With unit off,
lightly blow air through air inlet hole. You may
blow through a drinking straw if compressed
air is not available.
