UNVENTED PROPANE GAS LOG HEATER
INSPECTING
BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is
not touching the thermocouple. This will
cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the heater will shut
down.
Figure 31 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern
Figure 32 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 32
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas
to Appliance, page 15 [thermostat-
controlled models] or page 16
[manually-controlled models])
• see Troubleshooting, pages 18

Figure 30 - Pilot
The variable control valve can be set to
any heat setting and flame height desired,
by simply turning the control knob until
that setting is attained. Even the lowest
setting provides realistic flames and glow-
ing embers from two burners. Selecting
higher settings produces greater heat
output. This results in increased heating
comfort.
