INSPECTING PILOT AND BURNER FLAME

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 14 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 15 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will prevent the thermocouple from getting hot, causing the heater to shut down.
