Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot
flame and burner flame patterns are as shown in
Figures 9, 10 and 11. If flame patterns are incorrect,
turn the heater off. Contact your dealer or a qualified
gas technician for assistance. Do not operate the
heater until the pilot flame is correct.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could
produce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If burner
flame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions
in the Troubleshooting section on page 10. NOTE: do
not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or
other particles may enter the heater and cause tran-
sient patches of orange flame.
