INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 37 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 38 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 38
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 18 [Ther-
mostat-Controlled Models] or page 20 [Remote-Ready Models])
• see Troubleshooting, pages 24 through 26
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve,
but the flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER FLAME PATTERNS
Figure 39 shows correct front and/or middle burner flame patterns. Figure
40 shows incorrect front and/or middle burner flame patterns. The
incorrect burner flame patterns show yellow tipping at top of blue flame.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater
could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If
burner flame patterns show yellow tipping, follow in-
structions below. Yellow flame on rear burner is normal.
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 and/or middle burner flame patterns are incorrect, as
shown in Figure 40
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 18 [Ther-
mostat-Controlled Models] or page 20 [Remote-Ready Models])
• see Troubleshooting, pages 24 through 26
