Burner Flame Check
Steel Burner: These models are equipped with self-adjusting air mixture and
do not have an adjustable air shutter (see Figure 8). At periodic intervals a
visual check of the main burner and pilot flames should be made to determine if
they are burning properly. The main burner flame should light smoothly from
the pilot.
