PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 30 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 31 shows an incorrect pilot flame
pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touch-
ing the thermocouple. This will cause the
thermocouple to cool. When the thermo-
couple cools, the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 31
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 18)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 20 through 22
