ABNORMALOPERATION
If main burner does not light but pilot stays on, shut down heater and contact your dealer. If excessive carbon on logs or glass contact your dealer for service.
THE MAJOR CAUSE OF
OPERATING PROBLEMS WITH GAS HEATERS IS IMPROPER GAS PRESSURE
Such problems as changes in flame col- our or configuration, burner outages, in- termittent operations, changes in heat output, excessive burner noise, are nearly always the result of changes in gas pres- sure or improper gas pressure at time of installation.
THE MOSTIMPORTANTITEMTO CHECK DURING THE INSTALLATION AND THE FIRST THING TO CHECK WHEN PROB- LEMS OCCUR IS GAS PRESSURE.
CHECK DATA PLATE FOR COR- RECT PRESSURE SETTINGS
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR GAS PRESSURE SETTINGS ARE NOT COV- ERED BY WARRANTY, A SERVICE OR CALLOUT FEE WILL BE CHARGED IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES
