Figure 20 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 21 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the ther-
mocouple to cool, which shuts the heater off.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 21
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance
, page 16)
• see
Troubleshooting
pages 19 through 21.
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If the burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping,
follow instructions below.
