BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes in the fitting at the burner entrance. These holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically in- spect these holes for any blockage and clean if needed. Blocked air holes will create soot.
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. Remove blockage, blocked burner flame holes will create soot.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and cir- culating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these ar- eas 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, bed- ding material, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
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 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 com- pressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local com- puter 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 com- pressed 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.
