Premier PA B-Unit Operating Manual

If you experience poor or no smoke output when the smoke unit is on and has
fluid, check the wick to see if it has become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent 
around the heating element.  Remove the smoke unit inspection cover from
the smoke unit’s body (see Fig. 7 on pg. 8).  After removing the chassis and
inspection cover screws, lift the inspection plate away and inspect the wick. 
If it is darkly discolored and hard, it should be replaced.

Replacement parts and wick replacement instructions are available directly
from the M.T.H. Parts Department (phone: 410-381-2580; e-mail:
[email protected]; mail: 7020 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia
MD 21046-1532).
