BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 32 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 33 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 heater 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 heater and burn causing brief patches of orange
flame.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 33
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 25).
• see Troubleshooting, pages 28 through 31.
