Inspecting Burners - Procom MG1TIR Owner's Operation And Installation Manual

IMPORTANT: Owner's should check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
Incorrect flame patterns indicate the need for cleaning (see Care and Maintenance,
page 22) or service.
WARNING: Only a qualified service person should service and
repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or
alteration of components.
Figure 25 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 26 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the ther-
mocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 26
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 19)
• see Troubleshooting pages 23 through 26.
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If the burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping,
follow instructions at bottom of
this page.
Figure 27 shows a correct burner flame pat-
tern. Figure 28 shows an incorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It
also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the heat
shield height.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect as shown
in Figure 28:
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 19)
• see Troubleshooting pages 23 through 26.
