couple.  The flame will surround the thermocouple just below the 

tip.  A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame and main 

burner flame meet.

tion Sensor as follows:
1.  Remove pilot from main burner assembly, see "Appliance Main-

tenance", Page 13. 

2.  Apply air pressure through the holes in the pilot indicated by the 

arrows in Figure 12.  This will blow out foreign materials such 

as dust, lint and spider webs.

To ignite main burner, rotate gas control knob counterclockwise 

toward hI setting.  To shut down main burner, rotate gas control 

knob clockwise toward LO setting.

BF-10

The  gas  control  has  an  input  of  10,000    Btu/HR  (2.9  KW/H). 

The hydraulic thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly 

bottom. 

BF-20

The gas control modulates from a minimum input of 8,500  Btu/

HR (2.5 KW/H) (LO setting) to a maximum input of 20,000 Btu/HR 

(5.9 KW/H) for LP gas (HI setting) or 18,000 Btu/HR (5.3 KW/H) 

for Natural Gas (HI setting). The hydraulic thermostat bulb which 

is located at the casing assembly bottom adjusts the main burner 

flame between minimum input and maximum input.

BF-30

The gas control modulates from a minimum input of 8,500  Btu/hR 

(2.5 KW/H) (LO setting) to a maximum input of 30,000 Btu/HR (8.8 

KW/H) (HI setting). The hydraulic thermostat bulb which is located at 

the casing assembly bottom adjusts the main burner flame between 

minimum input and maximum input.

Note:  When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied" the main 

burner flame will shut "

OFF

" with the pilot flame remaining "

ON".

The LO and hI setting has temperature range of approximately 55°F 

(12.78°C) to 90°F (32.22°C) , respectively.  This is the temperature at 

the hydraulic thermostat bulb not the room temperature.  The owner 

is advised to determine the particular heat setting that is desired for 

comfort, as heating requirements are different for every owner.
Attention:  If the owner does not want the main burner to ignite and 

turns the gas control knob to the Lo setting, the main burner will 

still ignite if the temperature at the hydraulic thermostat bulb drops 

to 55°F (12.78°C). 

If no heat is desired, turn the gas control knob to the PILOT 

position.

WARNING

Never use needles, wires, or similar cylindrical objects to clean 

the pilot to avoid damaging the calibrated ruby that controls the 

gas flow.
