INSPECTING BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 24 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 25 shows an
incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, pages 12, 13
or 14 depending on your model)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 17 through 19
Note:
The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve,
but flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

Figure 26 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 27 shows an
incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern
shows yellow tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher
than 1/2 the glass panel height.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater
could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.
If burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, proceed
with the following instructions.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow
tipping. Dust or other fine particles enter the heater
and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 27
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, pages 12 or
14 depending on your model)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 17 through 19
