INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame. Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the back right hand side of the burner.

The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/sensor and grounding stem.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

•Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 37, page 17). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

•see Troubleshooting, pages 20 and 21

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flames should go up through the middle of logset. Flames should not "spill" to the edges of the pan or sides of the logset.

Figure 40 shows a typical flame pattern. If burner flame pattern differs from that described:

•turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 17)

•see Troubleshooting, pages 20 and 21
