INSPECTING
AND CLEANING
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways 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, pet hair, bedding material, 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 provides 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 qualified service person.
move it back to the correct position after cleaning.
4.Opening the shutter as in step 3, allows you to inspect the orifice. After cleaning the area adjust air shutter to the original position.
5.Blow air through the slots and holes in the burner.
6.Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.
7.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 yel- low 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 26). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drink- ing straw if compressed air is not available.
LOGS
•If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Gas Log Heater into Stove, page 9, to properly replace logs.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with the heater running. All slotted burner flame holes should be open with 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.
TRANSPORTING STOVE
Porcelain enamel coatings contain glass and are brittle. To prevent cracking of the porcelain finish, do not transport stove with top grates in place.
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
