Pilot Check:
The MBO-36 utilizes a standing pilot which remains on at all times. Pilot assembly is
covered almost entirely by the wind shield and maybe difficult to see. The visible part of the flame tips
should always be blue in colour. If the flame characteristics are in doubt a qualified technician or gas
installer can remove the wind shield and make any adjustments if required.
