FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
The flame pattern at the emitter screen should
be visually checked whenever the heater is
operated. Normally the burner flame is blue, but
little yellow flames are acceptable.
If the flames extend beyond the surface of the
emitter grid, or the phenomena of flame lift or
burn-back, or black spots are accumulating on
the emitter grid or reflector, the heater should
be turned off immediately. The heater should
not be operated again until the unit is serviced
or repaired.
