INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot ame pattern daily when in use and at least yearly by a qualied service agency.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Fig. 26 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. Fig. 27 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern. The incor-
rect 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 19)
• see Troubleshooting pages 23 through 26.

monoxide. If burner ame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions under BURNER FLAME
PATTERN, page 21.
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.
