Universal Unvented Room Heater

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before 

servicing. 

For maintenance of the inside cabinet or to access the 
burner and pilot assembly for cleaning or service. Remove 
the four screws(two located on each side) that secure the 
front shell to the unit.(Figure 6) Gently lift up on the front 
shell to disengage the hooks and pull forward to remove 
it. You will now be able to access all of the internal 
components of the appliance.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner and 
circulation air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these 
areas of heater before use. Have the heater inspected 
yearly by a qualified service person. Heater may need 
more frequent cleaning due to excess lent from carpeting, 
bedding material, pet hair, etc. 
Make sure grille guard is in place before running heater. 
If screen or grille guard is removed for servicing it must be 
replaced prior to operating the heater. 

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) 

of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and 
property damage. 

CLEANING ODS/PILOT AND BURNER

Use as vacuum cleaner, pressurized air or small soft 

bristled brush to clean.

CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR HOLE INLET

We recommend that you clean the unit every 2,500 hours 

of operation or every three months. We also recommend 
that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and 
free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend 
using compressed air no greater than 30 psig.
This can be done by using a vacuum cleaner in the blow 
position or using compressed air in a can. If using canned 

air please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t 

follow directions on the can you could damage the burner 
or pilot assembly. In addition, the directions below should 
also be followed.
1.  Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to 

cool for at least thirty minutes.

2. 

Inspect burner and pilot for dust and dirt.

3.  Blow air through the port/slots and holes in the burner.
A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the 
pilot assembly. To clean the pilot assembly find the small 
pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot 

flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see figure 18). With 

the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole. You 
may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not 
available.

CLEANING HEATER CABINET

• 

Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean the air 
passageways.

• 

On the exterior use a soft cloth dampened with a mild 
soap and water mixture. Wipe the cabinet to remove dust.
