Figure 21 - Correct Burner Flame Pattern
Figure 22 - Incorrect Burner Flame
Pattern
Figure 19 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 20 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 20
• turn heater off (see
To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance
, page 17)
• see
Troubleshooting
pages 20 through 22.
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.

repair heater. This includes maintenance requiring replacement or
alteration of components.

Figure 21 shows a correct burner flame pat-
tern. Figure 22 shows an incorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It
also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the heat
shield height.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 22

pliance
, page 17)

yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter
the heater and burn causing brief patches of
orange flame.
