INSpEcTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 16 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 17 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat
-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 17
• turn fireplace off (see
To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance
)
• see
Troubleshooting
, page 19
Note: The correct pilot flame on natural gas
units will have a slight curve, but flame should
be blue and have no yellow or orange color.
