PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 22 shows a correct pilot fl ame pat tern. Figure 23 shows an incorrect
pilot fl ame pattern. The incorrect pilot fl ame is not touch ing the thermo couple.
This will cause the thermo couple to cool. When the thermo couple cools, the
heater will shut down.
If pilot fl ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 23
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 15 (Remote-
Ready Models])
• see Troubleshooting, pages 19 through 21
Note: The pilot fl ame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but fl ame
should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

Yellow fl ames
The fl ames from the burner travel horizontally through the log set and emerge
at the middle and rear of the set against the back logs.
The fl ames are blue off the burner and as they progress through the log set,
change to a light yellow color, yellow decorative fl ames are visible as the
fl ames exit the log set.
The base of the log set and the underside of the top logs glow red. Natural
gas models will burn with more blue fl ame, while propane gas model will
burn with bright yellow fl ame.
