WARNING: Turn off appliance and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner
and circulating air passageways of appliance clean.
Inspect these areas of appliance before each use.
Have appliance inspected yearly by a qualified service
person. Appliance 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
appliance 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 damage
the pilot assembly. Note: Removing the rear panel (Figure 5, page 8)
and top grate(s) of your stove will make cleaning easier.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow 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 21).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of 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 assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole
about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly
(see Figure 22). 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.
