INSPECTION
PROCEDURES

Burners

Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and
debris. Keep heater area clear and free from combus-
tibles and flammable liquids. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilating air. Make visual check of
burner and pilot flame. Yellow flame indicates
clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi-
cates high gas pressure. Low flame indicates low gas
pressure.

ly warmer than inlet. It should not be hot.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas
supply fails to shut off, turn off the manual gas
control to the appliance.

CONTROLS

Check all controls to see that they are operational. To
check electric safety turn off main burner. Observe
pilot burner when shutting off pilot gas. Ignition spark
