PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 24 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. 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, page 15)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 19 through 21

PATTERN
Figure 26 shows correct front burner flame
pattern. Figure 27 shows incorrect front
burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner
flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles are burned
by heater, causing brief patches
of orange flame.
If front burner flame pattern is incorrect, as
shown in Figure 27
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 15)
