INSPECTING
BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 19 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 20 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 20
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 12 for thermostat models or
page 13 for non-thermostat models)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 15 through 17

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 21 shows a correct burner flame
pattern. Figure 22 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
glass panel height.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 22
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas To Ap-
pliance, page 12 for thermostat models or
page 13 for non-thermostat models)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 15 through 17

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dirt
or other fine particles enter the
heater and burn causing brief
patches of orange flame.
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If burner flame pattern
shows yellow tipping, follow in-
structions at bottom of this page.
