CLEANING ODS/IGNITOR AND
BURNER
Clean with a vacuum cleaner.
CLEANING MAIN AIR INLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the
unit every three months or after 2500
hours of operation. We also recom-
mend 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. 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 17).
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
been pushed into the burner, repeat steps
3 and 4.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and
let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control
areas, burner, and circulating air pas-
sageways of heater clean. Inspect these
areas of heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a qualified
service person. Heater may need more
frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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 18).
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.

CABINET
Air Passageways
Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized
air to clean.
EXTERIOR
Use a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap and water mixture. Wipe
the cabinet to remove dust.
LOGS
If you remove logs for cleaning,
refer to Installing Logs, page
15, to properly replace logs.
Replace log(s) if broken or chipped
(dime-sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame
holes with the heater running. All
slotted burner flame holes should
be open with yellow flame present. All
round burner flame holes should be
open with a small blue flame
present. Some burner flame holes
may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Either
remove blockage or replace burner.
Blocked burner flame holes will
create soot.
