Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame. Alterations
may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot is
located on the back right hand side of the burner.

The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/sensor and
grounding stem.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:

• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease

or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see
Figure 36). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

• see Troubleshooting, pages 19 and 20
