INSPECTING

BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 22 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 23 shows an incorrect pilot flame
pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the
thermocouple to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 21)

If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could produce increased levels
of carbon monoxide. If front burner flame pattern shows yellow
tipping, follow instructions at bottom of this page. Yellow flame on rear
burner is normal.

FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 24 shows correct front burner flame pattern. Figure 25 shows incorrect front
burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of
blue flame.

If front burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25

• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 21)
• see Troubleshooting, pages 23 through 26

NOTICE

Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine
particles are burned by heater, causing brief patches of orange flame.
