OPERATION Figure 7 Correct Pilot Flame CAUTION Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed by a qualified serviceman. Check the gas inlet pressure at the unit upstream of the combination gas control. The inlet pressure should be 6"-7" W.C. on natural gas or 12"-14" W.C. on propane. If inlet pressure is too high, install an additional pressure regulator upstream of the combination gas control. The pilot flame must be adjusted as described below.
