NOTE: Failure to install proper orifices can potentially cause burner and flue system failure.

Damaged caused by improper orifice installation is NOT covered by warranty.

E.FLAME ADJUSTMENT

1.A proper flame will have a bright blue, well defined inner cone, and a strong, light blue outer cone with only a very little yellow along the outermost edges.

2.Too much yellow indicated a rich flame. Adjust by opening the shutter or decreasing the orifice size (see tag p/n 301217 for proper orifice size for the installation altitude).

3.No yellow and a very small inner cone indicates a lean flame. Adjust by closing the shutter or increasing the orifice size (see tag p/n 301217 for proper orifice size for the installation altitude).
