Maintenance
• Always keep the heater area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Keep the vent areas (slots in the
bottom and top of the heater) clear at
all times.
IMPORTANT: The heater and its
surroundings should be kept clean and
free of dust.
• Visually inspect the pilot flame and
burner periodically during use. The
pilot flame should be blue in color
(not yellow) and will extend to the
thermocouple. The flame will surround
the thermocouple just below the tip.
See Figure 7.
• A slight yellow flame may occur where
the pilot flame and main burner flame
meet. The burner should be bright
orange (with a slight blue color around
the border, a red-orange haze that
is visible on the burner material is
acceptable) and without a noticeable
flame.
• A blue flame that rolls out at the top
of the burner material indicates an
accumulation of dust, lint or spider
webs inside the housing assembly and
main burner assembly. If the pilot is
yellow or the burner has a noticeable
flame, cleaning may be required.
• It is necessary to periodically check the
burner orifice and burner venturi to
make sure that they are clear of things
such as insect nests and spider webs
that may accumulate over time. A
clogged tube can lead to a fire.
• Use the following procedure to inspect
the casing assembly and main burner
assembly.
