DJUSTMENT
The pilot light is preset by the manufacturer
and should not need adjustment. The pilot
light flame should be large enough to engulf
the thermopile and thermocouple located
next to the pilot, but not so large as to create
excessive noise or consume excessive gas.
(Refer to figure 10)
However, it can be
adjusted by means of the pilot light
adjustment screw located on the gas control
valve. Open the valve door to access the
pilot adjustment screw. Note that the pilot
flame must engulf the thermopile so that the
thermopile can generate sufficient milli-
voltage (325 to 500-mv) to power the gas
control valve. The flame on the pilot should
look like Figure 120. Controlling the Tudor
by the wall-mounted thermostat may
become erratic, nonexistent, or the unit may
go out, if the pilot flame is too small or
misdirected away from the thermopile.

ARNING
The control has an interlock device. If the
stove has been lit, it will not relight
immediately. After shutting off all gas flow,
the pilot burner cannot be relit until the
thermocouple has cooled, allowing the
electromagnet to be released
(Approx. 60
sec.)
. The gas control knob is designed to
operate by hand. Do not use any tools during
this operation.

PPEARANCE
Once the unit is lit, observe the flame
pattern and adjust as necessary. Also, a
periodic visual check of the burner flame
should be performed. The burner flames can
be adjusted by means of the air shutter. To
determine if the burner flame needs
adjustment, it is necessary to view the flame
pattern with the variable output control knob
at its highest setting (turn fully clockwise).
Allow the unit to operate for 10 minutes
enabling the entire unit to reach temperature
and for the flame pattern to stabilize. The
flame pattern should be similar to the one
shown in Figure 13. There are several
guidelines to aid in determining if the flame
pattern is correct:
1. The flame should not be dirty, smoky,
sooty, or lick the top of the stove.
2. The flame should not rise off the TEK
burner; this is called “lifting”.
3. Flames should not impinge heavily on
the log set. They should “fit” through the
pre-formed spaces designed in the log
set.
