Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 26 shows a correct pilot flame pat- tern. Figure 27 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 27
•turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 14)

occurs, your heater could pro- duce Increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If burner flame pat- tern shows yenowtipping, follow instructions at bottom of this
page.
