Note: 

The look of the flames and embers may differ

based on the type of fuel and venting assembly that

is  used.

1. CLEANING THE BURNER AND

CONTROL  COMPARTMENT

Keep  the  burner  and  control  compartment  clean  by

brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Failure

to do this may shorten the fan’s life (where applicable).

Always turn off the wall switch, remote control, and/or

thermostat  before  cleaning.

2. CHECKING THE FLAME PATTERNS

Visually  check  the  flame  of  the  burner  periodically,

making  sure  the  flames  are  steady,  not  lifting  or

floating.  The  flame  color  should  be  blue  with  yellow

tips.  See  Figure  43.  The  ignitor  (electronic)  or

thermopile  and  thermocouple  (standing  pilot)  tips

should be covered with flame. See Figures 40-42.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the vent

may  cause  the  flames  inside  the  appliance  to  lift  or

“ghost,”  which  is  a  dangerous  situation.  Inspect  the

flames  after  installation  to  ensure  proper

performance. See Figure 43. If the vent configuration

is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut

off gas to the appliance and contact the dealer.

Flame covers

top 1/2” of

thermopile and

thermocouple.
