NOTE: Ambient ame burners produce both a blue and yellow ame. An excessively high yel-
low colored ame may be caused by airborne dust, dander, pet hair, etc. Additionally, an excess
amount of Mercaptane in the fuel can result in an orange or yellow colored ame.
The upper third of ame
may be bright yellow when
operated on propane.
When this heater is set for use on propane gas, the upper one third of the ame may be bright yellow.
When this heater is set for use on natural gas, a slight yellow tipping of the ame may occur.
