TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
TURN OFF, UNPLUG HEATER AND LET COOL BEFORE SERVICING.
ONLY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON SHOULD SERVICE AND REPAIR
HEATER.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A WIRE, NEEDLE, OR SIMILAR OBJECT TO CLEAN ODS/
PILOT. THIS CAN DAMAGE ODS/PILOT.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the burners fail to ignite properly, then the
burner holes may require cleaning. If this occurs, it is preferable to contact your nearest dealer to get
your heater serviced.
Alternatively, the heater can be cleaned by removing the top, front, and rear logs. Handle the logs
gently so as not to damage them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a soft-brush attachment to carefully remove dust and loose particles from the base,
logs, and from around the burners. NOTE:
Never use a sharp object such as a needle or knife to clean the
pilot.
WARNING:
Failure to keep the primary air openings(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting
and property damage.
