INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 27 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 28 shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 28
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 16)
• see Troubleshooting, page 19
Note:
The correct 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 29, shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 30, shows
an incorrect 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 30
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 16)
• see Troubleshooting, page 19
