BURNER ORIFICE HOLDER AND
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides a clean burning flame. Keep these holes
clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these
air inlet holes prior to each heating season.
Blocked air holes will create soot. We rec-
ommend that you clean the unit every three
months during operation and have heater
inspected yearly by a qualified service person.
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 PSI.
Your local computer store, hardware store or
home center may carry compressed air in a
can. 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 dam
-
age the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to
cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet
holes on orifice holder for dust and dirt
(see
Figure 47
).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Check orifice 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.
WARNING: Turn off heater
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep
control areas, burners and
circulating air passageways
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, pet hair, bedding
material, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep
the primary air opening(s) of
the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
