Inspection Procedures
Burners
Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and debris. Keep heater area clear and free from com- bustibles and flammable liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air. Make visual check of burner and pilot flame. Yellow flame indicates clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi- cates excess high gas pressure. Low flame indicates low gas pressure.
