BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 25 shows correct burner ame pattern.
If burner ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in

ance, page 17)

The ames from the burner travel horizontally
through the log set and emerge at the middle and
rear of the set against the back logs.
The ames are blue off the burner and as they
progress through the log set, change to a light
yellow color, yellow decorative ames are visible
as the ames exit the log set.
The base of the log set and the underside of the
top logs glow red. Natural gas models will burn
with more blue ame, while propane gas model
will burn with bright yellow ame.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off heater

PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet openings allow the proper
amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides
a clean burning ame. Keep these holes clear of
dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air inlet
openings prior to each heating season. Blocked
air openings will create soot. We recommend
that you clean the unit every three months during
operation and have heater inspected yearly by a
qualied service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner
tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and
dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using
compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local
computer store, hardware store or home center
may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a
vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using com-
pressed air in a can, please follow the directions on
the can. If you don't follow directions on the can,
you could damage the pilot assembly.
