Maintenance Instructions - Heatilator ODYSSEY ODY42 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

1. Clean the Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Always
turn off the wall switch (or remote control) and gas valve
before cleaning.
2. Chimney Inspection
Visually inspect the chimney internally for obstructions
and construction damage. Flue pipe joints and seams
must be continuous and mechanically tight.
3. Check the Flame Patterns
Check the flame pattern of the burner periodically,
making sure the flames are steady, not lifting or
floating. The flame color should be blue with yellow
tips. See Figure 32. The thermopile and
thermocouple tips should be covered with flame. See
Figure 33.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the
vent may cause the flames inside the appliance to
lift or “ghost” - a dangerous situation. Inspect the
flames after installation to ensure proper
performance. See Figure 32. If the vent configuration
is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut
off gas to the appliance and contact the dealer.
Note:
differ based on the type of fuel and venting as-
sembly that is used.
To prevent the possibility of soot buildup, we have
provided your fireplace with an adjustable air shutter
(two burners/two air shutters on the propane
version). Your air shutter is provided in the “OPEN”
position for natural gas and for propane. In the event
soot is accumulating in your fireplace, the air shutter
should be checked to make sure it is fully open. This
can be done by opening the control access panel,
locating the adjustable air shutter and opening as
far as necessary to eliminate as much soot as
possible. See Figure 34.
