BURNER FLAME CHECK
Light the burner and adjust the fl ame with the
regulator control valve. Always check the fl ame
prior to each use. The air damper mounted on
the burner helps control the amount of primary
air that mixes with the LP gas. A blue fl ame with
little or no yellow fl ame will provide the best heat.
Adjust the air damper by turning it clockwise or
counterclockwise to achieve the desired fl ame.
