CLEANING THE FILTER

1. During  EEach  FFlock — Remove the filter and shake out

the dust.  Reinstall the filter according to previous

instructions.

2. After  EEach  FFlock — If necessary, remove the filter and

use compressed air and/or water to clean the filter.

Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the 

filter before reinstalling the filter back onto the filter 

sleeve.  DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER TO CLEAN

THE FILTER.  DO NOT WASH IN A WASHING MACHINE.

High pressure, either water or air, can tear the filter

material.  Use standard faucet pressure only.  Clean the

venturi tube and cones if necessary using pressurized

air and/or water.  Refer to the cleaning instruction

guidelines in this Owner's Manual.  Let the heater and

filter dry completely before lighting.

CAUTION

Never allow the filter to become fully clogged with dust

and dirt.  

A dust choked filter will restrict the combustion air,

causing improper combustion.  

Signs of improper combustion include:  backflashing

of flame into the venturi tube, yellowing of the flame

within the burner cone, presence of blue and/or

yellow flames outside of the outer cone or carbon

sooting on the underside of the canopy.  

At first signs of any of these conditions, clean the

filter.

ATTENTION

Do not squeeze or tap the filter while the heater is in

operation.

Doing so will allow dust to be ingested within the

venturl tube and cones.

Shut the heater off and remove filter in its entirety

and shake out dust
