Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 32 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 fireplace will shut
down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 32
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 18)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 20 through 22
