BURNER INSPECTION AND CLEANING:
With the heater "ON", remove the front access panel and make a visual inspection of the main burners
through the sight glass (see Figure 31.) The main burner flames should be about ½" to 2" in height and should
not "lift" off the burner ports (see Figure 39).
A normal flame is blue, without yellow tips. Yellow tips or a totally yellow or "lazy" flame may be an
indication of a fuel-rich mixture due to restricted air supply. Spider nests in the burner and/or gas orifices may
also cause yellow tips.
