control areas, burner and cir
-
culating air passageways of
fireplace clean. Inspect these
areas of fireplace before each
use. Have fireplace inspected

person.
WARNING: Failure to keep

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 flame. Keep these holes clear
of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in
-
let 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 fireplace 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 ignitor.
1. Shut off the unit. Allow the unit to cool for
at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, air shutter and orifice for
dust and dirt (see Figure 30).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes
in the burner.
4. Check the orifice 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 above.
