The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise or fluttering. It should burn completely around the burner cap.
Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.
Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.
If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify
that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to oper-

should disappear with use. Check burner cap to make sure port holes are not
obstructed. If the ports are clogged, see 'Before Calling for Service' on the back
cover.
NOTE: An audible "pop" may be heard when the burner is turned off manually, or
when cycling in the XLO® zone (SGSX models). The "popping" may be louder
with LP gas than with natural gas.
