NOVUS SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
N. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. CLEANING THE BURNER AND CONTROL
COMPARTMENT
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Always
turn off the wall switch (or remote control) and gas valve
before cleaning.
2. CHECKING THE VENTING SYSTEM
The appliance and venting system should be inspected
before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field
service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion
and ventilation air is not obstructed.
3. CHECKING FLAME PATTERNS
Check the flame pattern 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 51.
Note:
The look of the flames and embers may dif-
fer based on the type of fuel and venting assembly
that is used.

Note:
If the air shutter is open all the way and the
flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the appliance
and contact a qualified gas service technician.
The thermopile and thermocouple (standing pilot) tips
should be covered with flame. See Figure 52. If the
appliance has an electronic ignition, the ignitor rod should
be covered with the burner flame. See Figures 53 and 54.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the vent may
cause the flames inside the appliance to lift or ghost - a
dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to
ensure proper performance. See Figure 51. If the vent
configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting,
shut off gas to the appliance and contact the dealer.
To prevent the possibility of soot buildup, we have
provided your appliance with an adjustable air shutter.
Your air shutter is set at 1/4 open for natural gas and
fully open for propane. In the event soot is accumulating
in your appliance, the air shutter should be opened
farther.
