PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Figures 21 and 22 show a correct pilot ﬂame pattern. The correct ﬂame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple. The ﬂame will surround the thermocouple just below the tip. A slight yellow ﬂame may occur where the pilot ﬂame and main burner ﬂame meet. Figures 23 and 24 show 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.
