NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
MAINTENANCE:
Always keep the heater area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Keep the vent areas (slots in the bottom and top of the
heater) clear at all times.
Visually inspect the pilot flame and burner periodically
during use. The pilot flame should be blue in color (not
yellow) and will extend to the thermocouple. The flame will
surround the thermocouple just below the tip, see Figure 2.
A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame
and main burner flame meet. The burner should be bright
orange (with a slight blue color around the border, a red-
orange haze that is visible on the ceramic tile is acceptable)
and without a noticeable flame.
A blue flame that rolls out at the top of the ceramic tile
indicates an accumulation of dust, lint or spider webs
inside the housing assembly and main burner assembly.
If the pilot is yellow or the burner has a noticeable flame,
cleaning may be required. Use the following procedure
to inspect the casing assembly and main burner assembly.
It is necessary to periodically check the burner orifice and
burner venturi to make sure that they are clear of insects/
nests or spider webs that may accumulate over time. A
clogged tube can lead to a fire.
