Closing the air shutter will cause
a more yellow fl ame, but can
lead to carboning. Opening the
air shutter will cause a more
blue fl ame, but can cause fl ame
lifting from the burner. The
flame may not appear yellow
immediately; allow 15 to 30
minutes for the fi nal fl ame color
to be established.
NOTE: It is important that the venturi sits down tight on
the orifi ce. The burner is adjustable up/down to ensure
this. The electrode sensors should be located 1/4” above
the burner for proper operation.

FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
FIGURE 22
• Visually inspect the appliance for carbon buildup.
• Using a small whisk or brush, brush off the excess carbon
and vacuum up or sweep into the garbage.
• Check the fi replace for corrosion of the main burner base.
Cleaning Stainless Steel: Do not use abrasive cleaners
to clean any painted, porcelain or stainless steel parts. To
clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner or a
non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the fi nish. Stainless
steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or
brown colour. This discoloration is normal and will not affect
the performance of the fi replace.
