Burner Ignition and Operation

Frequency: Annually

By: Service Technician

Tools needed: Protective gloves, vacuum cleaner, whisk broom, flashlight, voltmeter, indexed drill bit set, and a manometer.

•Verify burner is properly secured and aligned with pilot or igniter.

•Clean off burner top, inspect for plugged ports, corrosion or deterioration. Replace burner if necessary.

•Replace Glowing embers with new dime-size pieces. DO NOT block ports or obstruct lighting paths. Refer to Section 12 for proper ember placement.

•Verify batteries have been removed from battery back-up IPI systems to prevent premature battery failure or leaking. For optimal battery life, locate the battery pack outside of the control cavity on the hearth. This placement will reduce the chances of overheating the batteries during extended burns which could result in reduced battery life or degradation.

•Check for smooth lighting and ignition carryover to all ports. Verify that there is no ignition delay.

•Inspect for lifting or other fl ame problems.

•Verify air shutter setting is correct. See Section 12 for required air shutter setting. Verify air shutter is clear of dust and debris.

•Inspect orifi ce for soot, dirt and corrosion. Verify orifi ce size is correct. See Service Parts List for proper orifi ce sizing.

•Verify manifold and inlet pressures. Adjust regulator as required.

•Inspect pilot fl ame pattern and strength. See Figure 3.1 for proper pilot fl ame pattern. Clean or replace orifi ce spud as necessary.

•Inspect thermocouple/thermopile or IPI flame sensing rod for soot, corrosion and deterioration. Clean with emery cloth or replace as required.

•Verify that there is not a short in fl ame sense circuit by checking continuity between pilot hood and flame sense rod. Replace pilot as necessary. (IPI only)
