CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injec-
tor holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been
pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean pilot assembly also. Additional cleaning may
be needed for proper pilot operation based on use/
lack of use. A yellow tip on the pilot fl ame may
indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There
is a small pilot air inlet hole about from where the
pilot fl ame comes out of pilot assembly
(see
Figure
52
).
With unit off, lightly blow air through air inlet
hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if
compressed air is not available.

LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to
Installing
Logs, Embers and Volcanic Stone
,
Page 18
, to
properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-sized
or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner fl ame holes with appli-
ance running. All slotted burner fl ame holes should be
open with fl ame present. All round burner fl ame holes
should be open with a small blue fl ame present. Some
burner fl ame holes may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no fl ame present. If so, turn off appliance and
let cool. Remove blockage, blocked burner fl ame holes
will create soot.
WARNING: Turn off appliance 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 qualifi ed
service person. Heater may need more
frequent cleaning due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT
AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount
of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean
burning fl ame. 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 recommend that you clean the unit every
three months during operation and have appliance
inspected yearly by a qualifi ed 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
damage 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
injector holder for dust and dirt
(see
Figure 51
).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the
burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of burner
tube again. Remove any large particles of dust,
dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum
cleaner nozzle.
WARNING: The injector holders
(air shutters) are not adjustable. Do
not move injector holders from their
original positions.
WARNING: Failure to keep the
primary air opening(s) of the burner(s)
clean may result in sooting and prop-
erty damage.
Perform a periodic visual check of
pilot and burner fl ame.
