Check burner flame for proper appearance. The flame should be light blue with no
yellow at the tip.

The LP gas pressure should be checked and the main regulator readjusted if
pressure is incorrect. The correct operating pressure is 11” W.C. (water
column).
Inspect the flue baffle, it should be clean and free of soot. Any soot formation
indicates improper functioning of the burner. The flue and burner both
require cleaning in the following manner:
o
Remove cover from the burner housing.
o
Remove the burner by removing the burner mounting screw
o
Remove the wire and flue baffle from the top of flue tube. Clean the
flue from the top using a flue brush and
be sure to cover the burner
if remaining intact
to eliminate dirt falling into the burner. Blowing
compressed air into the flue should clean out soot and scale. Replace
the flue baffle.
o
Clean burner tube with compressed air, check for fluff or spider webs.
o
Before removing burner orifice, clean burner area of any soot, scale or
dirt. Remove the orifice/burner jet and soak it in alcohol (isopropyl
alcohol or thinners) and blow it out with compressed air. Re-install
and tighten burner orifice.
