PATTERN
Figure 27 shows correct front burner flame
pattern. Figure 28 shows incorrect front
burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner
flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of
blue flame.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles are burned
by heater, causing brief patches
of orange flame.
If front burner flame pattern is incorrect, as
shown in Figure 28

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burner, and circu-
lating air passageways of heater
clean. Inspect these areas of
heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a quali-
fied service person. Heater may
need more frequent cleaning due
to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, pet hair, 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 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 in-
spected 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 holes on injector holder for dust
and dirt (see Figure 29).
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. 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 30). 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.
