INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot fl ame pattern and burner fl ame pat-
terns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 36
shows a correct pilot fl ame pattern.
Figure 37
shows an incorrect pilot fl ame pattern.
The incorrect pilot fl ame is not touching the ther-
mocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to
cool. When the thermocouple cools, the appliance
will shut down.
If pilot fl ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 37
.
• turn appliance off (see

ance

NOTE
: The pilot fl ame on natural gas units will have
a slight curve, but fl ame should be blue and have
no yellow or orange color.

CAUTION: You must keep control
areas, burner, and circulating air
passageways of fi replace clean. In-
spect these areas of fi replace before
each use. Have fi replace inspected
yearly by a qualifi ed service person.
Fireplace may need more frequent
cleaning due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.
WARNING: Turn off fi replace and
let cool before cleaning.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Failure to keep the
primary air opening(s) of the burner(s)
clean may result in sooting and prop-
erty damage.
Perform a periodic visual check of
pilot and burner fl ame.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT
AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount
of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean
burning fl ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt,
lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet holes prior to
each heating season. Blocked air holes will create
soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every
three months during operation and have appliance
inspected yearly by a qualifi ed service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and
dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using
compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local
computer store, hardware store or home center may
carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed
air in a can, please follow the directions on the can.
If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could
damage the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool
for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes
on injector holder for dust and dirt
(see
Figure
38, Page 28
)
.
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in
the burner.
