Use a vacuum cleaner or
pressurized air to clean.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame
holes with the heater running. All
slotted burner flame holes should
be open with yellow flame present. All
round burner flame holes should be
o p e n w i t h a s m a ll b lu e f l a m e
present. Some burner flame holes
may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Either
remove blockage or replace burner.

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 holes on injector holder for
dust and dirt (see figure 21).
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 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.

Use a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap and water mixture. Wipe
the cabinet to remove dust.
LOGS
l
If you remove logs for cleaning,
refer to
Installing Logs
(page 10)
to properly replace logs.
l
Replace logs if broken or chipped
(dime-sized or larger).
Clean the 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 two inches from
where the pilot flame comes out of
the pilot assembly (see Figure 22).
With the unit off, lightly blow air
through the air inlet hole. You may
blow through a drinking straw if
compressed air is not vailable.
