IMPORTANT: Do not leave the selector switch
in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot
is not lit. This will drain the battery.
INSPECTING BURNERS
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.
Air is drawn into the burner through the holes
in the tting at the burner entrance. These
holes may become blocked with dust or lint.
Periodically inspect these holes for any block-
age and clean if needed. Blocked air holes
will create soot.
Periodically inspect all burner ame holes with
the heater running. All slotted burner ame
holes should be open with yellow ame pres-
ent. All round burner ame holes should be
open with a small blue ame present. Some
burner ame holes may become blocked by
debris or rust, with no ame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Remove blockage.
Blocked burner ame holes will create soot.

Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 19 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 20 shows an incorrect pilot ame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot ame is not heating
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 20
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 15
• see Troubleshooting, page 17
