MAIN BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions

Depressing the ignitor button completely causes a spark to occur at the pilot.

To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8" (3mm) from the pilot. The spark must occur at the point the pilot flame hits the thermocouple.

On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo under this condition.

There will be a short blue inner flame with a much larger, lighter blue, secondary flame. The burner flame may have a small yellow tip when hot. Dust in the combustion air will produce an orange or red flame. Do not mistake the orange or red flame for an improper yellow flame. Clean main burner by applying compressed air into ports and throat of main burner.

Attention: BF-10, Natural or Propane gas has a front and rear air shutter.

BF-20, Propane gas only has a front air shutter. BF-30, Propane gas only has a front air shutter.

Air Shutter Adjustment (Figure 10)

The air shutter on main burner is factory set at a 3/32" opening. If yellow flames occur on main burner loosen 1/4" screw on air shutter in order to increase air shutter opening. The slot on air shutter allows the air opening to be increased or decreased. Tighten 1/4" screw on air shutter after air shutter adjustment has been completed.
