BURNER FLAME PATTERN
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
ames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other ne particles enter the
heater and burn causing brief
patches of orange ame.
Figure 24 shows a correct burner ame pat-
tern. Figure 25 shows an incorrect burner
ame pattern. The incorrect burner ame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the ame.
It also shows the ame higher than 1/2 the
glass panel height.
If burner ame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 25
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas To
Appliance, page 16)
• see Troubleshooting, page 19
INSPECTING HEATER
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 22 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 23 shows an incorrect pilot ame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.
If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 23
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 16)
• see Troubleshooting, page 19
Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but ame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.
