K. Fire Characteristics
The overall height of the fl ame will vary throughout the burn
for a couple of reasons:
1)
The fl ame will vary based on type of fuel or batch of
fuel.
2)
The unit adjusts the burn rate according to the dial set-
ting – the further the dial is rotated clockwise the higher
the fl ame and consequently, heat output.
3)
General maintenance and cleaning. Infrequent or poor
general maintenance will result in poorer performance.
Indicators for additional maintenance activities include:
lazy fl ame
black-sooted glass
