CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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

age the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to
cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot for dust and dirt.
3. Blow air through ports/slots and holes in
burner.
4. Never insert objects into pilot tube.
Clean 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 about
2" from where the pilot flame comes out of
the pilot assembly (see Figure 24). With unit
off, lightly blow air through air inlet. You may
blow through a drinking straw if compressed
air is not available.
