Inspecting Burners

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat- terns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height. Alterations may have occurred dur- ing shipping and handling. Call a qualified service person to readjust the pilot if necessary.

The position and pattern of the pilot flames in rela- tion to the sensing devices should be as shown in Figures 38 and 39 respectively.

The pilot flame may need adjustment in order for the thermocouple, thermopile and/or ignition system to sense the pilot flame.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these re- quirements:

•turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap- pliance, page 19 or 20)

•see sections under Troubleshooting, page 25

Burner Flame Patterns

Burner flames will be steady, not lifting or float- ing. Flame patterns will differ from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If vent configuration is installed incorrectly, flames will lift or “ghost”. This can be dangerous. Inspect flames after installation to ensure proper installa- tion and performance. Figure 40 shows a typical flame pattern.

If burner flame pattern differs from that de- scribed:

•turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap- pliance, page 19 or 20)

•see Troubleshooting, page 25

Air Adjustment Setting

The main burner air shutter opening is factory set to the following:

Natural Gas - 1/8", Propane/LP Gas - 3/4"

The air shutter may require adjustment depending on altitude, venting condition, burner operation and general flame appearance.

If flames are lifting or sooting the shutter may require opening. If flames are too blue or improp- erly lighting the shutter may require closing. See Figure 41 for proper air adjustment.

IMPORTANT: Do not reduce air shutter opening any lower than designed minimum stop setting of 1/8".
