FLAME PATTERNS
Figure 5 shows a correct flame pattern. The burner flame is mostly
blue with a slight yellow coloring on the ends.
Figure 6 shows an incorrect flame pattern. The flame is mostly
yellow. The incorrect flame pattern results from low gas pressure or
from flashback.
CAUTION: Running heater below specified input
rating may cause flashback. During flashback, the
burner flame is mostly yellow. The flame will burn
inside the burner tube, causing a roaring noise. If
flashback occurs, turn heater off. After burner tube
cools, restart the heater.
