CARING FOR YOUR HEATER

Cleaning burner compartment

Because cold air is attracted to the flame during heater
operation, a build up of lint from carpeting, bedding, dust,
etc. in the burner area will occur. It is necessary to clean
this area regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow
attachment to reach small areas. Be careful in and around
the pilot. A change in its adjustment could be made if
moved during cleaning.
DANGER: A build up of any dust, lint or foreign material in
the primary air opening of the burner can interfere with the
proper air gas mixture and can result in a yellow flame which
can produce carbon monoxide and soot. This condition if
allowed to develop, can lead to bodily injury including death. It
is imperative that the burner be kept clean.
TO REMOVE LOGS FROM COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Always remove the logs from the combustion chamber when
cleaning the burner or combustion chamber.
1. As parts are removed, place them in a safe place until
ready for reassembly.
2. Remove the chrome hearth assembly. Compression clips
hold hearth assembly in place. Grasp the assembly frame
and pull forward.
3. Remove the screws in the glass window frame.
IMPORTANT: The logs are made of special lightweight
materials that can be easily damaged by rough handling.
4. Lift the front log up and out of the front log support
brackets carefully. Take care when pulling it out through
the window opening. Do not scrape it against the metal
edges of the opening.
5. Remove the screws and plates holding the top right
and the top left sides of the rear log set against the top
rear support brackets.
6. Lift the rear log set up and out of the bottom support
brackets. Tilt the top towards the back and slowly allow
the bottom to pass through the opening first. Take care
not to scrape it against the metal edges of the opening.
7. Reverse the above procedure to reassemble after cleaning.
GLASS CLEANING
Use mild soap and water only. Never clean when the glass
is hot.
If the glass is broken it must be replaced with the
manufacturer's authorized part only. Failure to do so could
cause property damage, bodily injury or death.
NOTE: A properly adjusted burner with nearly all gases
will produce a flame which has a clear blue cone having
a bluish-red or bluish-violet outer mantle.
