Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
▯
up. Allow the appliance to operate for 4–5 minutes
and reevaluate before making adjustments.
Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange
▯
flame during initial use. This should disappear with
use. Check the burner to make sure that port holes are
not obstructed. If the ports are clogged ~ Page 17
Note: An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner is
turned off manually. The "popping" may be louder with
propane gas than with natural gas. This is normal.
