OPERATION
NOTE: Ambient ame burners produce both a blue and yellow ame. An excessively high yellow
colored ame may be caused by airborne dust, dander, pet hair, etc. Additionally, an excess amount
of Mercaptane in the fuel can result in an orange or yellow colored ame.
When this heater is set for use on propane gas, the upper one third of the ame may be bright yellow.
When this heater is set for use on natural gas, a slight yellow tipping of the ame may occur.

NOTE: Before servicing you will need to remove the
front panel of the heater. There are 6 tapping screws,
3 on the left side and 3 on the right, securing the front
panel to the heater (See Fig. 24).
Always allow the unit to cool for at least thirty minutes
before attempting to remove the front panel.
