terns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 62
shows a correct pilot fl ame pattern.

shows an incorrect pilot fl ame pattern.
The incorrect pilot fl ame is not touching the ther-
mocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to
cool. When the thermocouple cools, the appliance
will shut down.
If pilot fl ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 63.
• turn appliance off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance,
