BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating.
Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit
and will vary depending on installation type and

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly,
the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger-
ous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure
proper installation and performance.
Figure 49 shows a typical flame pattern.
If burner flame pattern differs from that de-
scribed:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 28)

times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household
cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of
operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three
times during each heating season, depending on the
usage and circumstances present. Refer to Remov-
