INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper ame height.
Alterations may have occurred during shipping and handling. Call
a qualied service person to readjust the pilot if necessary.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 1/2" above the pilot
ame as shown in Figure 53. The thermocouple must be at a height
of about 1/8" above the pilot ame. The ame from the pilot burner
must extend beyond both the thermocouple and thermopile.
If you pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 22)
see Troubleshooting, page 25
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oating. Flame patterns
will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on instal-
lation type and weather conditions.
If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly, the ames will lift
or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the ames after instal-
lation to ensure proper installation and performance.
Figure 54 shows a typical ame pattern for these models.
If burner ame pattern differs from that described:
turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 22)
see Troubleshooting, page 25

WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this
may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household glass
cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for
condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust,
and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During
initial start-up a slight lm may form on the glass due to paint cur-
ing. The glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia,
nonabrasive household cleaner and warm water after the rst two
weeks of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times
during each heating season, depending on the usage and circum-
stances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page
19, when removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufacturer
