INSPECTING BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-
tern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 21 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 22 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.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 22
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-
ance, page 14)
• see Troubleshooting, page 18
Note:
The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and
have no yellow or orange color.
