FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 32 shows correct front burner flame pattern. Figure 33 shows incorrect front burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of blue flame.

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If front burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, fol- low instructions at bottom of this page. Yellow flame on rear burner is normal.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners, and cir- culating air passageways of heater clean. Inspect these areas of heater before each use. Have heater inspected yearly by a quali- fied service person. Heater may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc.

ODS/PILOT AND BURNERS

•Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to clean.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles are burned by heater, causing brief patches of orange flame.
