This pro-vides a clean burning flame. Keep these holesclear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Cleanthese air inlet holes prior to each heatingseason. Blocked air holes will create soot. Werecommend that you clean the unit every threemonths during operation and have heater in-spected yearly by a qualified service person.We also recommend that you keep the burnertube and pilot assembly clean and free ofdust and dirt. To clean these parts we recom-mend using compressed air no greater than30 PSI. Your local computer store, hard-ware store, or home center may carry com-pressed air in a can. You can use a vacuumcleaner in the blow position. If using com-pressed air in a can, please follow the direc-tions on the can. If you don't follow direc-tions on the can, you could damage the pilotassembly.Note: Removing the rear panel(Figure 5, page 8) and top grates of yourstove will make cleaning easier.1.
