INSPECTING
BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 18 shows a correct pilot flame pat- tern. Figure 19 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
5. Press in control knob and turn coun- |
terclockwise to the PILOT position. Keep control knob pressed in for five (5) seconds (see Figure 16).
Note: You may be running this heater for the first time after hook- ing up to gas supply. If so, the con- trol knob may need to be pressed in for 30 seconds. This will allow air to bleed from the gas system.
•If control knob does not pop up when released, contact a qualified service person or gas supplier for repairs.
6.With control knob pressed in, push down and release ignitor button. This will light pilot. The pilot is attached to the front of burner. The pilot can be seen through the glass panel. If needed, keep pressing ignitor button until pilot lights.
Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 12 through 14. Also contact a qualified service
Note: Both HIGH and LOW are locked positions. You must press in control knob before turning it from these positions.
CAUTION: Do not try to ad- just heating levels by using the manual shutoff valve.
