The flames from the burner should be visually checked
as soon as the heater is installed and periodically
during normal operation. In normal operation, at full
rate, and after operating for about 15 to 30 minutes,
the flame should be yellow and slightly taller than the
rear log. Figure 67
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and let cool. After unit is cool, remove logs and check to
make sure the back holes in the burner are not covered
with rock wool. If the back holes are clear, add more
rock wool to the center of the burner. Replace logs.
note: The type of installation, vent system
configuration, and wind effects may cause the flame
patterns to vary.
