INSPECTING BURNERS
IMPORTANT: Owner’s should check pilot ame pattern and burner ame pattern often. 
Incorrect ame  patterns  indicate  the  need for  cleaning  (see  Care and Maintenance, 
page 24) or service.
 WARNING: Only a qualied service person should service and 
repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or 
alteration of components.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot ame pattern. 
Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot ame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot ame is not touching 
the  thermocouple.  This  will  cause  the  ther-
mocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.
If  pilot  ame  pattern  is  incorrect,  as  shown  
in Figure 32
•  turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 21 or 22)
•  see Troubleshooting pages 25 through 28.
 WARNING: If yellow tipping 
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon 
monoxide.  If  the  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 PRIMARY AIR HOLES

holes may become blocked with dust or lint. Periodically inspect these holes for any blockage 
and clean as necessary. Blocked air holes will create soot.
