Second, to ensure all dust/lint is removed from this location, take 100 psi compressed air and hold the nozzle back about six inches from the shutter gap and blow out all debris. Reassemble air shutter in reverse order of disassembly. Be careful not to drop lock spring in carpeting and lose it. TDM-VF 2004 www.rinnai.us...
Remove the unit from the structure before performing this cleaning due to the dust created by this cleaning procedure.

Using an air gun or nozzle, blow directly into the burner plaques from about four inches away.
After thirty seconds, release the plunger. If the magnetic unit is good, it will stay in the bottomed out position by itself. After cooling for a brief period, it should release and spring back out to the relaxed state.
