PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized fl ame. Turn in a clockwise
direction to reduce the gas fl ow.
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A)
counter-clockwise until loosened and then placing
pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge should
read 7" (178mm) (minimum 4.5"(114mm)) water column for
natural gas or 13" (330mm) (11" minimum (279mm)) water column
for propane. Check that main burner is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B).
Gauge should read 3.5" (89mm) water column for natural gas or 10"
(254mm) water column for propane. Check that main burner is operating
on "HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, TIGHTEN SCREWS
FIRMLY TO SEAL. DO NOT OVER TORQUE. LEAK TEST.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according
to the chart below:
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more
yellow flame, but can lead to carbonization. Opening the air shutter will
cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports.
The flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for
the final flame colour to be established.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER!
