INSPECTING HEATER
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pat-
tern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 20 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot ame 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 ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 21
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance)
• see Troubleshooting, page 16
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.
