1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow
the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet
opening on injector holder for dust and dirt
(see Figure 27).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in
the burner.
4. Check the 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 opening 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 the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the
pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot as-
sembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about
two inches from where the pilot flame comes out
of the pilot assembly (see Figure 28). With the
unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole
in the same direction as gas flow. You may blow
through a drinking straw if compressed air is not
available. This hole is accessible from the front
of the unit through an L-shaped hole in the valve
bracket (see Figure 29).
