BURNER FLAME PATTERN
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles enter the
heater and burn causing brief
patches of orange flame.
Figure 23 shows a correct burner flame pattern.
Figure 24 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern.
The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow
tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher
than 1/2 the glass panel height.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 24
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance,
page 15)

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
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.
ODS/PILOT AND BURNER
Use a vacuum cleaner, pressurized air or small,
soft bristled brush to clean.
BURNER PILOT AIR INLET
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 and lint. 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 donʼt follow directions on the can,
you could damage the pilot assembly.
