Operating fireplace
Continued
The blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace. Periodically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any dust, dirt or other obstructions that will hinder the flow of air.
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 relation to the sensing devices should be as shown in Figure 52.
If you pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
•turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap- pliance, page 28)
•see Troubleshooting, page 35

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger- ous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.
Figure 53 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 28)
•see Troubleshooting, page 35
