INSPECTING BURNER

PILOT ASSEMBLY ADjUSTMENT
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper
flame height. Alteration to factory settings may
have occurred during shipping. If this is the case,
some minor readjustments may be necessary and
should be done by a qualified technician.
The pilot assembly is located behind the burner
next to the rear refractory piece at the right-hand
side. The thermopile (in millivolt models) or the
sensor (in electronic models) should be engulfed
with the pilot flame approximately 3/8" to 1/2" in
order for the regulator to receive proper signal (see
Figures 23 and 24).

BURNER FLAME ADjUSTMENT
The air shutter, located at the base of the main
burner tube, has been factory preset to the proper
air to gas ratio which results in an even, clean burn-
ing flame across the burner (see Figure 25).
If readjustment is necessary, you can restore proper
flame setting by loosening air shutter screw and
rotate air shutter until proper flame setting is
achieved (shutters normal setting is fully opened).
Retighten air shutter screw. See Figure 26 for air
shutter location.
