Inspecting Burners; Cleaning And Maintenance - Barbeques Galore BVDR18 Owner's Operation And Installation Manual

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLy
The pilot assembly is factory preset for proper
flame height. Alterations may have occurred
during shipping and handling. The pilot is
located on back right hand side of burner.
The thermocouple should be fully enveloped
in flame. Flame should not be lifting off ther-
mocouple element.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these
requirements:
• Access pilot adjustment screw through
slot in valve cover. Turn adjustment screw
clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise
to increase flame to proper size (see Figure
17, page 11). Do not remove adjustment
screw.

floating. Flames should go up through the
middle of log set. Flames should not "spill" to
edges of pan or sides of log set.
Figure 24 shows a typical flame pattern. If
burner flame pattern differs from that de-
scribed:
• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 14)
• see Troubleshooting, page 16
