•Verify burner is properly secured and aligned with pilot or igniter.
•Clean off burner top, inspect for plugged ports, corrosion or deterioration. Replace burner if necessary.
•Replace Glowing embers with new
•Verify batteries have been removed from battery back- up IPI systems to prevent premature battery failure or leaking. For optimal battery life, locate the battery pack outside of the control cavity on the hearth. This place- ment will reduce the chances of overheating the batteries during extended burns which could result in reduced battery life or degradation.
•Check for smooth lighting and ignition carryover to all ports. Verify that there is no ignition delay.
•Inspect for lifting or other flame problems.
