OPERATING HEATER

Continued

Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room tem- perature (depending on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air tem- peratures, etc.). Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

1.Remove front panel (see Figure 4, page 8).

2.Follow steps 1 through 7 under Lighting Instructions, page 15.

3.With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pilot lights.

4.Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30 seconds, release control knob. Now follow step 9, under Lighting Instructions, page 15.

5.Replace front panel.

INSPECTING HEATER

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

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 24 shows a correct pilot ﬂame pattern. Figure 25 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.

If pilot ﬂame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange ﬂames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other ﬁne particles enter the heater and burn causing brief patches of orange ﬂame.

Figure 26 shows a correct burner ﬂame pattern. Figure 27 shows an incorrect burner ﬂame pattern. The incorrect burner ﬂame pattern shows yellow tipping of the ﬂame. It also shows the ﬂame higher than 1/2 the deﬂector panel height.

If burner ﬂame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 27
