Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions

Depressing the ignitor button completely causes a spark to occur 

at the pilot.  

To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8" (3mm) 

from the pilot.  The spark must occur at the point the pilot flame 

hits the thermocouple.  
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a 

match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo 

under this condition.

There will be a short blue inner flame with a much larger, lighter 

blue, secondary flame.  The burner flame may have a small yellow 

tip when hot.  Dust in the combustion air will produce an orange or 

red flame. Do not mistake the orange or red flame for an improper 

yellow flame. Clean main burner by applying compressed air into 

ports and throat of main burner.

Attention:  BF-10, Natural or Propane gas has a front and rear air 

shutter.

 

BF-20, Propane gas only has a front air shutter.

 

BF-30, Propane gas only has a front air shutter.

Air Shutter Adjustment (Figure 10)

The air shutter on main burner is factory set at a 3/32" opening. If 

yellow  flames occur on main burner loosen 1/4" screw on air shutter 

in order to increase air shutter opening. The slot on air shutter allows 

the air opening to be increased or decreased. Tighten 1/4" screw on 

air shutter after air shutter adjustment has been completed.

components within casing assembly when you are cleaning.

6.  Remove main burner orifice from orifice holder.

7.  Apply air pressure through main burner orifice and orifice holder
