INSPECTING BURNER
Check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 21 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Figure 22 shows a incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incorrect pilot
ame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off. If
pilot ame pattern is incorrect:
• turn heater off (see “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” on page 18)
• see Troubleshooting pages 21 through 23.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If
burner ame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions at bottom of this page.
Notice: Do not mistake orange ames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other ne particles enter the heater and burn
causing brief patches of orange ame.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 23 shows a correct burner ame pattern. Figure 24 shows an incorrect burner ame pattern. If burner
ame pattern is incorrect then:
• turn heater off (see “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” on page 18).
• see Troubleshooting, pages 21 through 23
