WA R N I N G

Our heater is tested for quality assurance.
Ignition attempts should succeed 8 out of 10 attempts. 

Note:

 

The flame pattern at the emitter grid should be 

visually checked

whenever heater is operated.  Normally the burner flame is blue, but little 
yellow flame is acceptable.  
If flames extend beyond surface of the emitter grid , or the phenomena of 
flame lift or light back, or black spot is accumulating on the emitter grid or
reflector, the heater should be turned off immediately. The heater should not 
be operated again until the unit is serviced and or repaired.
