Burner Flame Check 

 
Steel Burner:

  These models are equipped with self adjusting air mixture and 

do not have an adjustable air shutter (See Figure 18).  At periodic intervals a 
visual check of the main burner and pilot flames should be made to determine if 
they are burning properly.  The main burner flame should light smoothly from 
the pilot. 

 

 

 

Figure 18 

 

 

WARNING 

Do not run out of propane gas.  Damage to the water heater may occur.
