Installation & Service Manual
 Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type
of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for
cristobalite at the time this document was written.
Other types of respirators may be needed depending on
the jobsite conditions. Current NIOSH
recommendations can be found on the NIOSH website at
(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html). NIOSH
approved respirators, manufacturers and phone numbers
are also listed on this website.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye
protection.
 Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to
prevent airborne dust.
Remove combustion chamber lining from the appliance
and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.
 Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from
other clothing. Rinse clothes thoroughly.
 NIOSH stated First Aid:
Eye: Irrigate immediately.
Breathing: Fresh air.
Heat Exchanger / Burner Access
a. Turn “OFF” main power to the appliance.
b. Turn “OFF” external manual gas shutoff valve to
appliance.
c. Remove the control panel door.
d. Remove the outer air deflector (FIG. 8-2).
e. Disconnect gas valve wiring and remove gas
manifold assembly.
f. Remove ignition wire leading to the pilot assembly
from the ignition module.
g. Disconnect the wiring from the flame rollout/
interlock switch, see FIG. 8-2, page 61.
h. Remove the lower front jacket panel.
i. Remove the control panel mounting screws. When
removing the control panel, lay the control panel to
the side with the wiring intact, being careful not to
damage any of the wiring.
j. Remove the combustion chamber door. Use caution
to prevent damage to burn ers, refractory, pilot or
wiring.
Inspection and Cleaning Procedure
k. Check the heat exchanger surface for sooting. The
external surfaces of the copper tubes should be free of
any soot deposits. (A slight black smudge is normal
with some types of gases.) If abnormal soot deposits
are present, the heat exchanger must be cleaned and
the cause of the soot problem corrected. Proceed as
follows:
l. Remove soot from burners and bottom of the finned
tubes with a stiff bristle brush. Dirt may also be
removed from burner ports by rinsing the burner
thor ough ly with water. Drain and dry burners before
re-installing. Damaged burners must be re placed.
An appliance installed in a dust or dirt con tam i nat ed
atmosphere will require cleaning of the burners on a 3
to 6 month schedule or more often, based on severity of
contamination. Contaminants can be drawn in with the
combustion air. Non-combustible particulate mat ter such
as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can block burner
ports and cause non-warrantable failure. Use extreme care
when operating an appliance for temporary heat during new
construction. The burners will probably re quire a thorough
cleaning before the appliance is placed in service.
m. Remove gas manifold as described in steps a. through
e. in “Heat Exchanger/Burner Access.”
n. Loosen mounting screws and remove front control
panel.
o. Loosen screws on the upper front jack et panel and
remove toward front of the appliance. Use caution
to prevent damage to re frac to ry on the doors inner
surface.
Inspect and Clean Burner
⚠ WARNING
The combustion chamber insulation in this
appliance contains ceramic fiber material.
The International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has concluded,
“Crystalline Silica in the form of quartz
or cristobalite from occupational sources
is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).”
Normal operating temperatures in this
appliance are below the level to convert
ceramic fibers to cristobalite. Abnormal
operating conditions would have to be
created to convert the ceramic fibers in
this appliance to cristobalite.
The ceramic fiber material used in this
appliance is an irritant; when handling
or replacing the ceramic materials it is
advisable that the installer follow these
safety guidelines:
⚠ DANGER
When cleaning burner, DO NOT use a
steel wire brush as it may spark and create
a hazardous situation causing property
damage, serious injury, or death. Use a
soft bristle brush when cleaning burner.
