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thetopatthefront
ofheater)clearatalltimes.
Visuallyinspectthepilotflameandburnerperiodicallyduring
use.Thepilotflameshouldbeblueincolor(notyellow)andwill
extendbeyondthethermocouple.Theflamewillsurroundthe
thermocouplejustbelowthetip,seeFigure3.Aslightyellow
flamemayoccurwherethepilotflameandmainburnerflame
meet.Theburner(s)shouldbebrightorange(withaslightblue
coloraroundtheborder,ared-orangehazethatisvisibleonthe
ceramictileisacceptable)andwithoutanoticeableflame.
Ablueflamethatrollsoutatthetopoftheceramictileindicates
anaccumulationofdust,lintorspiderwebsinsidethecasing
assemblyandmainburnerassembly.Ifthepilotisyelloworthe
burnerhasanoticeableflame,cleaningmayberequired.Use
thefollowingproceduretoinspectthecasingassemblyandmain
burnerassembly.
Itisnecessarytoperiodicallychecktheburner(s)orificeand
burnerventuritubetomakesuretheyareclearofinsects/nestsor
spiderwebsthatmayaccumulateovertime.Acloggedtubecan
leadtoafire.
