CLEANING ODS/IGNITOR AND
BURNER
Clean with a vacuum cleaner.
CLEANING MAIN AIR INLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the
unit every three months or after 2500
hours of operation. We also recom-
mend 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 PSI. You can use a
vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If
using compressed air in a can, please
follow the directions on the can. If you
don't follow directions on the can, you
could damage the pilot assembly.
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 17).
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
been pushed into the burner, repeat steps
3 and 4.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and
let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control
areas, burner, and circulating air pas-
sageways of heater clean. Inspect these
areas of heater before each use. Have
heater inspected yearly by a qualified
service person. Heater may need more
frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.

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

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.
