If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 25

•turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 15)

•seeTroubleshooting, pages 19 through 21

FRONT BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 26 shows correct front burner flame pattern. Figure 27 shows incorrect front burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping at top of blue flame.

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