INSPECTING
BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 18 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 19 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 19
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance,)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16

FLAME
PATTERN
Figure 20 shows a correct burner flame
pattern. Figure 21 shows an incorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It
also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the
heat shield height.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 21
• turn heater off(see
To Turn OffGas to
Appliance, page 12).
• see Troubleshooting, pages 14 through 16
_i, WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide.
If burner flame pat-
tern shows yellow tipping, follow
instructions
at bottom
of this
page.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles enter the
heater end burn causing
brief
patches of orange flame.
