A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame
and main burner flame meet. The burner should be bright
orange (with a slight blue color around the border, a red-
orange haze that is visible on the ceramic tile is acceptable)
and without a noticeable flame.
A blue flame that rolls out at the top of the ceramic tile
indicates an accumulation of dust, lint or spider webs
inside the housing assembly and main burner assembly.
If the pilot is yellow or the burner has a noticeable flame,
cleaning may be required. Use the following procedure to
inspect the casing assembly and main burner assembly. It
is necessary to periodically check the burner orifice and
burner venturi to make sure that they are clear of insects/
nests or spider webs that may accumulate over time. A
clogged tube can lead to a fire.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Allow heater to thoroughly cool before performing
any maintenance.
2. Remove disposable 1 lb. propane cylinder from
heater.
3. Remove right side plastic service panel (Parts diagram
ref. 4) by removing the four screws holding it in
place.
4. Inspect the interior of casing for accumulation of
dust, lint or spider webs. If necessary, clean the
interior of the casing assembly with a vacuum cleaner
or compressed air (max 30 psi). Do not damage any
components within the casing assembly when you
are cleaning.
5. Inspect and clean main burner (Parts Diagram ref. 3)
and orifice (ref. 8) by using a vacuum or compressed
air (max 30 psi).
6. Inspect and clean pilot tube (Parts Diagram ref.
7). Insert a doubled over pipe cleaner into the
pilot tube until it bottoms against the pilot orifice
(approximately 2‰). Rotate the pipe cleaner a couple
of times and remove. Blow out the remaining debris
using compressed air.
