WARNING: Turn off heater
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep con
-
trol areas, burner 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,
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
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 clean and free of dust and dirt. We recom-
mend 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 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.
Before cleaning, shut off the unit, including the
pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty
minutes. You will need to remove the front log
to access the front burner.
