INSPECTING BURNERS

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-

pliance, page 19.

• see Troubleshooting, page 22.
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will

have a slight curve, but flame should be blue

and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER PRIMARY AIR HOLES

Air is drawn into the burner through the holes

in the fitting at the entrance to the burner.

These holes may become blocked with dust,

lint or pet hair. Periodically inspect these holes

for any blockage and clean as necessary.

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 pres-

ent. 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

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame

patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 26 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.

Figure 27 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-

tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching

the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-

couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,

the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown

in Figure 27.

WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep

control areas, burner and circu-

lating 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 clean-

ing due to excessive lint from

carpeting, bedding material, pet

hair, 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 pro-

vides 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. If using compressed air in a can, please

follow the directions on the can. If you don’t

follow directions on the can, you could dam-

age the pilot assembly.
