CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before servicing.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner, and circulating
air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before
each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a qualified service techni-
cian. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes with
the heater running. All slotted burner flame
holes should be open with yellow flame pres-
ent. All round burner flame holes should be
open with a small blue flame present. Some
burner flame holes may become blocked by
debris or rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off the heater and let it cool, and remove
blockage or replace burner. Blocked burner
flame holes will create soot.

CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
We recommend that you clean the unit ev-
ery 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 PSl. Your local computer
store, hardware store, or home center may
carry compressed air in a can. You can use
a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If us-
ing 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 for dust and dirt (see
Figure 28).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner. Also clean the pilot assembly.
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 now
been pushed into the burner. Repeat steps
3 and 4.
