Pilot Location:
Pilot is located on left side behind front burner.
OP AMERICA (Remote Models)
The Pilot flame should be steady and soft blue surrounding 1/8 inch of
the thermocouple tip as shown in
Figure 9
.
OP AMERICA Millivolt (Switch Model)
NOTE: The OP America Millivolt Pilot/ODS is equipped with a quick
acting thermocouple allowing gas flow to the pilot after approximately
30-40 seconds. An additional 60 to 90 seconds time is required to fully
heat the thermogenerator and allow gas to the main burner(s).
Pilot Flame Adjustment.
Pilot flame should be steady and soft blue

extending approx. 1 inch beyond the pilot tube. If adjustment is necessary, use a narrow long stem screw driver to
turn pilot adjustment screw (
see Figure 7-Switch or Figure 8-Remote
). To adjust turn clockwise for less pilot
flame, counterclockwise for more pilot flame. There is no pilot adjustment available on C7 or DFC7 Manual Models.
IMPORTANT SERVICE TIP!
Obstructed Pilot Air Intake Ports result in an improper gas/air mixture and
a weak pilot flame.
Weak pilot flame is the NUMBER 1 SERVICE ISSUE RE NUISANCE SHUT-OFF.
Using canned compressed air , pipe cleaner or an artist's brush, clean out the opposing Air Intake Ports
located at base of Pilot (where gas supply line attaches to pilot). (

ALL APPLICATIONS (VENTED and VENT FREE OPERATION)
NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
Each and every
CHILLBUSTER
that leaves the factory is quality checked to ensure compliance with our American
Gas Association certification. This check includes an operational test to ensure both satisfactory combustion and
proper operation.
Each installation site for any vent free heater presents its own
unique combustion environment. Specific factors such as weather
tightness of the home, size of the room in which the heater is installed,
central heating, ceiling fans, drafts, altitude, the size of the firebox,
paint or soot inside the firebox, etc., all have an influence on the proper
operation of any vent free gas log set. A normally operating
CHILLBUSTER
Gas Log wil possess the following characteristics:
• Clean burning combustion, which, after normal break in, will
produce no soot or smoke.
•
A full bodied, lively flame. The flame will be blue at the base and a
combination of blue and yellow at the body and tips.

.
•
After initial break-in produce no odor other than the normal odors
associated with the combustion of Natural or Propane gas and/or the
environment in which the heater is operated.
