Blower Motor
The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to oil
the blower motor.
Blower Wheels
The blower wheels will collect lint and could require periodic
cleaning. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases, it
indicates a dirty blower wheel. Remove fan and clean blower wheels.

the heater from cycling. To turn off gas to the heater
(millivolt model): push in gas control knob slightly and
turn clockwise to "OFF." Do not force. To turn off gas on
