Figures 28, 30 and 32
show a correct pilot flame pattern. The
correct flame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple.
The flame will surround the thermocouple just below the tip. A slight
yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame and main burner flame
meet.
Figures 29, 31 and 33
show 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.
