INPECTING HEATER

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat- tern often.

PILOT FLAME PATTERN

Figure 23 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Fig- ure 24 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermo- couple. 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 Fig- ure 24

turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli- ance, page 16 or 17)

see Troubleshooting, pages 20 through 24 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.

WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the heater and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.

Figure 25 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 26 shows an incorrect burner flame pat- tern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the glass panel height.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 26
