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.
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 24).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Check injector holder located at the end of
the 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 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 24). 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.
