BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 30 shows a correct burner flame
pattern. Figure 31 shows an incorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It
also shows the flame higher than one inch
above the log.
Note:
When using the fireplace the first
time, the flame will be yellow for approxi-
mately one hour until the log cures.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles enter the
fireplace and burn causing brief
patches of orange flame.
