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 47, page 24). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

see Troubleshooting, pages 27 and 28

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after installa- tion to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 50 shows a typical flame pattern.

If burner flame pattern differs from that described:

turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24)
