CLEANING: To clean the front casing of your heater, it is only necessary to use a soft cloth. Light dust can be removed in this way. To obtain a polish or gloss, use a little light machine oil on the cloth. Do not use metal polish or cleaning solution. The burner ports should be kept free from lint and dust.

CLEANING OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER

The combustion chamber of your console heater should never need to be cleaned if proper burner adjustment and gas pressures are maintained. However, if an unusual circumstance should occur, the following procedure should be followed in cleaning your combustion chamber.

1.Turn off gas supply to heater at manual valve in supply line to heater.

2.Disconnect heater at ground joint union ahead of main gas valve.

3.Remove main control and orifice assembly.

4.Remove burner.

5.Remove combustion chamber.

6.Using a scraper, scrape inside of a primary combustion chamber. This should be area of heaviest accumulation of carbon.

7.Remove plug bottom located in bottom rear of second combustion chamber. Using a bottlebrush, clean inside of this chamber. Shake residue out the clean-out hole.

8.Clean the rear chamber by using bottlebrush through the vent tube openings.

9.Replace combustion chamber, burner and control. Check all gas piping for leaks before lighting heater.

Repair service should be performed by qualified persons. The heater should be inspected before initial use. An annual cleaning of control compartment and safety performance check should be made by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required when exposed to the excessive lint conditions due to carpeting and bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean. Any safety screen, casing top, or guard removed for servicing the heater must be replaced prior to operating heater.

If the venting system is not maintained in proper operating condition, the vent safety shutoff will not allow heater to operate. Periodic examination of the entire venting system as a routine part of the safety performance check is recommended on an annual basis.

It is advised that the pilot and main burner flames be checked at least twice during the heating season for any changes in flame characteristics. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.

THIS IS A GAS-FIRED APPLIANCE, KEEP THE AREA CLEAR OF GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF THIS AREA.
