WARNING
Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning.
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 person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to

Cleaning and Pilot Maintenance
Oxygen Depletion Sensor Pilot
When the pilot has a large yellow tip flame, clean the Oxygen
Depletion Sensor as follows:
1. Clean the ODS pilot by loosening nut B from the pilot tubing.
When this procedure is required, grasp nut A with an open end
wrench.
2. Blow air pressure through the holes indicated by the arrows.
This will blow out foreign materials such as dust, lint and spider
webs. Tighten nut B also by grasping nut A.
