BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady, not lifting or floating. Flames should
go up through middle of log set. Flames should not "spill" to edges
of pan or sides of log set.
Figure 18 shows a typical flame pattern. If burner flame pattern differs
from that described:
• turn appliance off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Appliance,
page 10)
• see
Troubleshooting
, page 12
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for proper flame height. Altera-
tions may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is
located on the back right hand side of the burner.
The thermocouple should be fully enveloped in flame. The flame
should not be lifting off of thermocouple element.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• Access pilot adjustment screw through slot in valve cover. Turn
adjustment screw clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to
increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 11, page 8). Do not
remove adjustment screw.

• Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of debris.
• Occasionally, you may use a soft bristle brush to clean logs.
• Periodically inspect the air mixer and burner tube for foreign matter
blocking the air inlet and flame holes.
• Once every year a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep
should examine and clean the venting system of the fireplace.
