CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before

cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burner,

and circulating air passageways of fireplace clean.

Inspect these areas of fireplace before each use.

Have fireplace inspected yearly by a qualified service

person. Fireplace may need more frequent cleaning

due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding mate-

rial, pet hair, etc.

CLEANING 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 inlet 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 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 com-

pressed air in a can. You can use a vacuum cleaner in the blow

position. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the direc-

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

damage the pilot assembly.

Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to cool for

at least thirty minutes.

Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on injector

holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 38).

Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner tube

again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair

with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.

In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into

the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.

Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame

indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot

air inlet hole about two inches from where the pilot flame comes out

of the pilot assembly (see Figure 39). 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.
