CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep

control areas, burners 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.

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

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 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.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet

holes on injector holder for dust and dirt (see

Figure 47).

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 now been

pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the

pilot ﬂame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as-

sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about

two inches from where the pilot ﬂame comes out

of the pilot assembly (see Figure 48). 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.
