INSPECTING bURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame
patterns often.
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper
ame height. Alterations may have occurred dur-
ing shipping and handling. Call a qualied service
person to readjust the pilot if necessary.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8"
to 1/2" above pilot ame as shown if Figure
54. 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 your pilot assembly does not meet these
requirements:
• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 28)
• see Troubleshooting, page 33
Burner ames will be steady; not lifting or oat-
ing. Flame patterns will be different from unit
to unit and will vary depending on installation
type and weather conditions.
If the vent conguration is installed incorrectly,
the ames will lift or "ghost". This can be dan-
gerous. Inspect the ames after installation to
ensure proper installation and performance.
Figure 55 shows a typical ame pattern.
If burner ame pattern differs from that described:
• turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 28)
• see Troubleshooting, page 33

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
GLASS DOOR
-
-
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 curing.
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/Replac-
ing Glass Door on page 24 of this manual
when removing glass door for cleaning.
