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 in-
spected yearly by a qualied service technician. Heater may need more frequent
cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This pro-
vides a clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt and lint. Clean these
air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We rec-
ommend that you clean the unit every 500 hours of operation or every three months.
CLEANING BURNER PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
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, or you can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using

compressed air in a can, please follow the diretions
on the can, or you could damage the pilot assembly.

. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the
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
54).
3.
Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the
burner.
4.
Check the injector holder located at the end of
the burner tube again. Remove any large parti-
cles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hairs 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Also clean the pilot assembly. A yellow tip on the pilot
ame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly.
There is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches
from where the pilot ame comes out of the pilot as-
sembly (see Figure 55). With the unit off, lightly blow
air through the air inlet hole. You may blow through a
drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
