Burner Flame Check

At the time of installation and at periodic intervals (about every 3 months), a
visual check of the pilot and burner flames should be made to determine if
they are burning properly. No adjustment to the air shutter is required for this
heater. The burner flames should be blue with yellow tips. A blue-orange
flame is characteristic of operation on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. The
burner tube flames should light smoothly from the pilot.
