INSPECTING BURNERS

Continued

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 inspect 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 fireplace run- ning. 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 fireplace and let cool. Remove blockage. Blocked burner flame holes will create soot.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your fireplace could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the fireplace and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.

Figure 45 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 46 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows the flame higher consistently higher than 1 inch above the logs.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 46

turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas To Appliance, page 19)

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean. Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use. Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate- rial, 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 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.

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 com- pressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the direc- tions 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 47 and Figure 48, page 22).

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.

This method proves to be highly efficient, particularly in large or poorly insulated spaces, as it minimizes energy waste and promotes rapid heating.

Both VYGF33NRB and VYGF33PRB models come equipped with adjustable thermostats, allowing users to maintain precise temperature controls according to their specific needs. This feature complements the energy-saving capabilities of these models, ensuring that they only operate when necessary, thereby reducing overall energy consumption. Furthermore, the sleek, modern design of these models makes them an attractive addition to any indoor or outdoor setting.

The FPVF33PRA and FPVF33NRA, on the other hand, focus on versatility and portability. With lighter designs and built-in mobility features, these units can be easily relocated according to the user's requirements. They incorporate integrated safety mechanisms, such as tip-over switches and overheat protection, ensuring that safety remains a priority even in dynamic environments.

In addition to their heating capabilities, these models are equipped with air filtration technologies that improve indoor air quality. This feature is particularly beneficial in regions where allergens and pollutants can affect health and comfort. The air filtration systems in the FPVF33 series transform heating units into multi-functional appliances, providing not just warmth but also clean air.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the ease of maintenance that these units offer. Many components are designed for easy access, allowing for routine cleaning and replacement to ensure longevity. These models also feature energy-efficient settings that adapt to environmental conditions, making them suitable for various climates.

In conclusion, the Desa VYGF33NRB, VYGF33PRB, FPVF33PRA, and FPVF33NRA models epitomize the merging of innovative technology with practical utility. Their distinct features such as energy efficiency, advanced heating technology, portability, and air filtration capabilities cater to a wide range of heating needs while promoting a safer, healthier living environment. With these models, users can expect not only comfort but also a commitment to sustainability in their heating solutions.
