INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 22 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 23 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 24
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 18)
• see Troubleshooting, page 22
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 25 shows a correct burner flame
pattern. Figure 26 shows an ncorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows sporadic, irregular flame
tipping. The flame should not be dark or have
an orange/reddish tinge.
Note: When using the fireplace the first time,
the flame will be orange for approximately
one hour until the log cures.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 26
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 18)
• see Troubleshooting, page 23
Figure 27 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern when using the wrong gas type. Turn off
heater and call a qualified service person to
make corrections.
