Burner Flame
Check the burner flames for good adjustment, a stable, soft and
blue flame that is not curling, floating or lifting off.
At least once a year, prior to or during the heating season, make a
visual check of the burner flames.
NOTE: This will involve removing and reinstalling the heat
exchanger door on the unit, which is held by 2 screws. If you are
uncertain about your ability to do this, contact a qualified
servicer.
If a strong wind is blowing, it may alter the airflow pattern within
the unit enough that an inspection of the burner flames is not
possible.
Cleaning Burners
1. Disconnect the electric power and gas supply to the unit.
2. Remove the screws securing the manifold to the burner
retention bracket. Remove the manifold and rotate each
burner counterclockwise to remove.
Manifold Assembly
3. Remove the burners.
4. Use a bottle brush to clean burner insert and inside of the
burners.
5. Replace the burners and manifold.
6. Inspect the burner assembly for proper seating of burners in
retention slots.
7. Reconnect the electrical power and gas supply.
For further information on the yearly inspection, consult the User
Manual. It is recommended that a qualified servicer inspect and
service the unit at least once each year.
Turn the unit on at the thermostat. Wait a few minutes, since any
dislodged dust will alter the normal flame appearance. Flames
should be predominantly blue and directed into the tubes. They
should not be yellow. They should extend directly outward from
the burner ports without curling downward, floating or lifting off of
the ports.
