PROBLEM
- remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur on
the terminal and should be removed as required.
- ensure correct location of storm collars.
- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise
2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point.
Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or
13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check that main burner
A
is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10" water col-
umn for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVER-
TORQUE.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
- ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.
- check that the bowl and rockset are correctly positioned.
- open air shutter to increase the primary air.
- check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifi ce size as
specifi ed by the rating plate values.
- check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and that the
seal is tight.
- check that both 4" and 7" vent liners are free of holes and well sealed
at all joints.
- check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for any hori-
zontal venting.
- clean the glass with a gas fi replace glass cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN
GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become per-
manently marked.

- check for chimney blockage
- check that the paint curing process is complete
- purge the gas line with the glass door open.
- fi ll the tank.
- turn up the pilot fl ame.
- gently twist the pilot head to improve the fl ame pattern around the
thermocouple.
- loosen and tighten thermocouple.
- clean thermocouple and valve connection.
- replace thermocouple.
- replace valve.
