Caring for Your Heater
20
CLEANING BURNER COMPARTMENT
Because cold air is attracted to the flame during heater operation,
a build up of lint from carpeting, bedding, dust, etc. in the burner
area will occur. It is necessary to clean this area regularly. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment to reach small areas.
Be careful in and around the pilot. A change in its adjustment
could be made if moved during cleaning.
DANGER: A build up of any dust, lint or foreign
material in the primary air opening of the burner
can interfere with the proper air gas mixture and
can result in a yellow flame which can produce
carbon monoxide and soot. This condition if
allowed to develop, can lead to bodily injury
including death. It is imperative that the burner be
kept clean.
TO REMOVE LOGS FROM COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Always remove the logs from the combustion chamber when
cleaning the burner or combustion chamber.
1. As parts are removed, place them in a safe place until ready
for reassembly.
2. Remove the chrome hearth assembly. Compression clips hold
hearth assembly in place. Grasp the assembly frame and pull
forward.
3. Remove the screws in the glass window frame.
IMPORTANT: The logs are made of special
lightweight materials that can be easily damaged by
rough handling.
4. Lift the front log up and out of the front log support brackets
carefully. Take care when pulling it out through the window
opening. Do not scrape it against the metal edges of the
opening.
5. Remove the screws and plates holding the top right and the
top left sides of the rear log set against the top rear support
brackets.
6. Lift the rear log set up and out of the bottom support brackets.
Tilt the top towards the back and slowly allow the bottom to
pass through the opening first. Take care not to scrape it
against the metal edges of the opening.
7. Reverse the above procedure to reassemble after cleaning.
GLASS CLEANING
Use mild soap and water only. Never clean when the glass is hot.
If the glass is broken it must be replaced with the manufacturer’s
authorized part only. Failure to do so could cause property
damage, bodily injury or death.
NOTE: A properly adjusted burner with nearly all
gases will produce a flame which has a clear blue
cone having a bluish-red or bluish-violet outer
mantle.
