BURNER FLAME

The flames from the burner should be visually checked as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during normal operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and after operating for about 15 to 30 minutes, the flame should be yellow and slightly taller than the rear log. See Figure 49.

If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit and let cool. After unit is cool, remove logs and check to make sure the back holes in the burner are not covered with rock wool. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the burner. Replace logs.

NOTE: The type of installation, vent system configuration, and wind effects may cause the flame patterns to vary.
