INSPECTING
PILOT AND
BURNER
FLAME
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 14 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 15 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will
prevent the thermocouple from getting hot, causing the heater to shut down.

Figure 16, page 22, shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 17, page 22, shows
two incorrect burner flame patterns. The two incorrect flame patterns show high
yellow flames and flames lifting off of burner.
WARNING
If high yellow flame occurs, your heater could produce
increased levels of carbon monoxide. If burner flame is
incorrect, follow instructions on page 22.
NOTICE
Do not mistake orange flames with yellow flame. Dirt or
other fine dust particles enter the heater and burn
causing brief patches of orange flame.
