Burner, Pilot and Control Compartment
!
Turn off gas before servicing stove. It is recommended that
a qualified service technician perform these check-ups at
the beginning of each heating season
Keep the control compartment, stones and burner areas
surrounding the stones clean by vacuuming or brushing at
least twice a year. Make sure the burner porting, pilot air
opening and burner air opening are free of obstructions at
all times.
Pilot Flame
The flames from the pilot should be visually checked as
soon as the heater is installed and periodically during normal
operation. The pilot flame must always be present when the
stove is in operation. Figure 73. The pilot flame has three
distinct flames, one engulfing the sensor, one engulfing the
thermopile, and the other reaching to the main burner.
Burner
Inspect area around the injector. Remove any lint or foreign
material with a brush or vacuum.
Burner Flame
The flames from the burner should be visually checked as
soon as the heater is installed and periodically during normal
operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and after operating
for about 15 to 30 minutes, the flame should be yellow.
If the flame is blue and candle-like in appearance, adjust
glass or add more glass over ports.
NOTE: The type of installation, vent system configuration,
and wind effects may cause the flame patterns to vary.
