WARNING:

 FAILURE TO KEEP THE PRIMARY AIR 

OPENING(S) OF THE BURNER(S) CLEAN MAY RESULT IN SOOTING 
AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. 

WARNING:

:DO NOT ALLOW FANS TO BLOW DIRECTLY INTO 

THE  FIREPLACE.  AVOID  DRAFTS  THAT  ALTER  BURNER  FLAME 
PATTERNS.

  

 
OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR (ODS) SERVICING 

Dust and dirt may effect heater performance. 
This  heater  draws  air  into  the  bottom  of  it  during  normal 
operation.  In the process, dust and dirt will also be drawn 
into the heater.  The frequency of cleaning will depend on 
how  and  where  the  heater  is  used.    At  a  minimum,  you 
should  clean  the  heater  at  least  once  a  year,  at  the 
beginning of the heating season. 

 

If  your  pilot  will  not  stay  lit,  try  cleaning  it.    Use  a  can  of 
compressed  air,  such  as  is  used  to  clean  a  computer,  to 
blow  dust  out  of  the  pilot  assembly.    Sometimes  just 
blowing air back through the pilot will get rid of the dirt.  

 

If that fails to solve the problem, remove the wire clip that 

holds the metal strip onto the pilot assembly.  Remove the 
cover and blow  any dust out.  Reassemble and check for 
proper operation. 
If that fails, the pilot assembly should be removed and air 
blown  through  the  assembly  and  gas  line  as  shown  in 
Figure 6.  To prevent damage to this assembly, follow the 
instructions  below  for  disassembly  and  assembly  of  the 
ODS for cleaning.  

WARNING: 

 Never use needles, wires, 

or similar cylindrical objects to clean the pilot orifice.  This 
will only damage the calibrated ruby orifice (about the size 
of the head of a pin) which controls the pilot gas flow. 

 

 

Grab  Nut  A  with  an  open-end  wrench  and  loosen  Nut  B 
from the pilot tubing.  Blow air pressure through the holes 
as indicated in Figure 6.  This should blow out any foreign 
materials.  To reassemble, tighten Nut B by grabbing Nut A 
with  the  open-end  wrench.   

NOTE:

    When  the  heater  is 

reassembled, always check for gas leaks as outlined in the 
Gas Supply section of these instructions. 
 

WARNING: 

DO NOT USE A BLOWER INSERT, 

HEAT EXCHANGER INSERT OR OTHER 
ACCESSORY NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH 
THIS HEATER. 

 
 

 

 

WARNING:  This vent-free heater is approved for use only with the type of gas indicated on the heater nameplate. 

Field  conversion  is  not  permitted.  Contact  our  Technical  Service  Department  at  (704)  372-3486  if  you  have  any 
problems.
