CARE
OF
THE
HEATER
Push
operation switch
to
"OFF" remove
the AC
Plug
from
the
wall outlet
and
wait
approximately
30
minutes
for
the
heater
to
cool before performing
any of the
following steps.
Step
1 :
Retrieving Objects from
Inside
the
Heater
Should
an
object fall inside
the
heater, through
the
grill openings,
it
must
be
removed
to
avoid affecting
the
operation
of the
heater.
After
allowing
the
heater
to
cool,
remove
the
front
cover
panel. (See Step
5 of the
previous section.)
After
the
object
has
been removed, replace
the
front
cover
before attempting
to
re-start
the
heater.
Step
2 :
Cleaning
the
Cabinet
When
the
cabinet
is
soiled, wipe
it
with
a
damp cloth.
Restore
the
shine with
a dry
cloth.
The use of
abrasive household cleaners
may
dull
the
finish.
Step
3 :
Checking
the
Flue Pipe
At
the
beginning
of
each heating season, check
the
inside
of the
flue
pipe.Foreign
matter,spider webs,
etc. must
be
removed.
Be
sure
all
fittings
and
joints
are
tight.
Step
4 :
Cleaning
the
Interior
Remove
the
Front Cover Panel
(as
described
in
Step
5 of the
previous
section),and
vacuum
and
wipe away
dust
or
other accumulation.
Look
for
signs
of
fuel leakage around
the
joint pipe
and the
bottom
of the
cabinet.
If
fuel
is
detected, wipe
it
away
and if
necessary, contact your
MPI
dealer
for
any
necessary repairs.
Step
5 :
Cleaning
the
Blowar Guard
Heating efficiency will
be
reduced
if the
blower guard
at
rear
of the
cabinet
is
blocked with dirt
or
dust.
Blockage also produces
a
rise
in
heat that could cause
the
heater
to
shut off.
Wipe
the
guard clean
at
least once
a
week.
Step
6 :
Cleaning
the
Fuel Strainer
The
strainer
of the
fuel constant level valve should
be
cleaned once
a
year
and
before storing
the
heater
at
the
end of the
each season.
Step
6-A
If
using
the
internal capsule tank, remove
all
fuel from
the
fuel sump tank. (See Figure
34)
If
using
an
external tank, close
the
shut
off
valve
located
at the
external tank. (See Figure
23)
If
a
fusible link shut
off
valve
has
been installed
in the
fuel
line behind
the
heater, close this valve also.
Turn
handle
clockwise
to
close.
If
handle screws
off
stem, valve
is
closed.
Step 6-B:
To
drain
off
upper portion
of the
fuel constant level
valve,back
out the
phillips
head screw which
is
located
below
and to the
left
of the
strainer cover.(See Figure
35)
Step
6-C:
To
catch
the
fuel which will drain out,
set the
drain
guide made
of
cardboard below
the
strainer cover, with
a
small container under
it.
(See Figure 35).
Step
6-D:
Loosen
the two
screws from
the
strainer cover
and
remove
cover.
Step
6-E:
Remove
the
strainer
and
spring
and
wash with pure
kerosene.
If
strainer
is
damaged,replace
it.
Step
6-F:
Return
the
strainer
and its
spring
to
their
original
position. Replace
the
strainer cover
and
tighten screws
securely.
Step
6-G:
Wipe away
any
spilled
kerosene.
Step

If
using
a
capsule tank, refill capsule tank
and
replace

fuel sump tank.
If
using
an
external tank, open
the
shut

valve
at the
external tank.
If
you
shut
off a
fusible link valve
in the
fuel line behind
the
heater, open
the
valve
by
turning
the
handle
counter-clockwise.
Check
for
fuel leakage.
NOTE:

sometimes require
more
service
than
that
shown
above.
Should
this
occur
please contact your Monitor
Productsjnc.,dealer
for
service.
A
preseason maintenance check
up
should
be
performed
by
your dealer
to
ensure
trouble
free
operation
during
the
season.
Ask him
for
details
of his
routine maintenance program.
Step

summer months,
or
long
periods when your
heater
will
not be in
operation, take
the
following steps.
