Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 20 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot flame
pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touch-
ing the thermocouple. This will cause the
thermocouple to cool. When the thermo-
couple cools, the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 21
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16
