information above. If you do not smell gas, go
to the next step.
5. Push in gas control know slightly and turn
counterclockwise

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

pattern is not touching thermocouple. This will cause
the thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple
cools, the heater will shut down. If pilot flame pattern is
incorrect, as shown in Figure 16:
