Burner Ignition and Operation
Frequency: Annually
By: Qualified Service Technician
Tools needed: Protective gloves, vacuum cleaner, whisk
broom, flashlight, voltmeter, indexed drill bit set, and a
manometer.
• Verify burner is properly secured and aligned with pilot
or igniter.
• Clean off burner top, inspect for plugged ports, corrosion
or deterioration. Replace burner if necessary.
• Replace Glowing embers with new dime-size pieces.
DO NOT block ports or obstruct lighting paths. Refer
to appliance installation manual for proper ember
placement.
• Verify batteries have been removed from battery back-
up IPI systems to prevent premature battery failure or
leaking.
• Check for smooth lighting and ignition carryover to all
ports. Verify that there is no ignition delay.
• Inspect for lifting or other flame problems.
• Verify air shutter setting is correct. See Installation
Manual for required air shutter setting. Verify air shutter
is clear of dust and debris.
• Inspect orifice for soot, dirt and corrosion. Verify orifice
size is correct. See Service Parts List for proper orifice
sizing.
• Verify manifold and inlet pressures. Adjust regulator as
required.
• Inspect pilot flame pattern and strength. See Figures 4.3
for proper pilot flame pattern. Clean or replace orifice
spud as necessary.
• Inspect IPI flame sensing rod for soot, corrosion and
deterioration. Polish with fine steel wool or replace as
required.
• Verify that there is not a short in flame sense circuit
by checking continuity between pilot hood and flame

NOTE: Appearance of rock jig, pilot shield and media tray
may vary between appliance models.

Burner Flame

The flames from the burner should be visually checked
as soon as the heater is installed and periodically during
normal operation. In normal operation, at full rate, and af-
ter operating for about 15 to 30 minutes, the flame should
be yellow and slightly taller than the rear log. See Figure
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit and
let cool. After unit is cool, remove logs and check to make
sure the back holes in the burner are not covered with
rock wool. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool
to the center of the burner.
NOTE: They type of installation, vent system confirgu-
ration and wind effects may cause the flame patterns to
vary.
