Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 33 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 34 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat
-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 34
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance
, page 23
• see
Troubleshooting
, page 26
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.

Note: The burner may light if hand-held re-
mote was on when selector switch was last
turned off. You can now turn burner on and off
with hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave selector switch in
the REMOTE or ON position when pilot is not
lit. This will drain the battery.
Note: Do not hold hand-held remote for a long
time. Body temperature will affect its operation
in the AUTO mode.
