WARNING: Turn off heater

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep con-

trol 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

excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, pet hair, etc.

WARNING: Failure to keep

the primary air opening(s) of

the burner(s) clean may result in

sooting and property damage.

BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND

PILOT AIR INLET HOLE

The primary air inlet holes allow the proper

amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides

a clean burning flame. Keep these holes clear

of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in-

let holes prior to each heating season. Blocked

air holes will create soot. We recommend that

you clean the unit every three months during

operation and have heater inspected yearly by

a qualified service person.

We also recommend that you keep the burner

tube clean and free of dust and dirt. We rec-

ommend using compressed air no greater

than 30 PSI. Your local computer store,

hardware store or home center may carry

compressed air in a can. If using compressed

air in a can, please follow the directions on the

can. If you don't follow directions on the can,

you could damage the pilot assembly.

1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot.

Allow the unit to cool for at least thirty

minutes.

2. Inspect burner and primary air inlet

holes on injector holder for dust and

dirt (see Figure 24 and 25).

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes

in the burner.
