Cleaning And Maintenance; Inspecting Burners - Desa (V)T32EP-A SERIES, (V)T32EN-A SERIES Owner's Operation And Installation Manual

INSpECTING bURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-
terns often.
PILOT ASSEMbLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper
flame. Alterations may have occurred during ship-
ping and handling. The pilot is located on the left
hand side of the burner.
The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/
sensor and grounding stem.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these re-
quirements:
• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT
clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to
increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 48,
page 27). Do not remove the adjustment screw.
• see Troubleshooting, page 30
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
weather conditions.
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 51 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 27)
• see Troubleshooting, page 30

sive cleaners as this may damage
glass. Use a nonabrasive house-
hold glass cleaner to clean glass.
Do not clean glass when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-
up it is normal for condensation to form on the
inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.
During initial start-up a slight film may form on
the glass due to paint curing. The glass should be
cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, non-
abrasive 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 Removing/Replacing Glass Door
on page 22 of this manual when removing glass
door for cleaning.
