INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame. Altera- tions may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is located on the left 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 48, page 24). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

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 instal- lation 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 instal- lation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 51 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)

•see Troubleshooting, page 27

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this maydamageglass.Useanonabrasivehouseholdglass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during each heating season, depending on the usage and circum- stances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page 20 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manu- facturer should be used when replacing broken or damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts, page 29). This glass door panel is a complete unit. No substitute materials may be used.

CAUTION:Wearglovesandsafetyglasseswhilehan- dling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Remov- ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 20). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.

CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
