PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Figure 15 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. The correct flame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple and ther- mopile. The flame will surround the thermocouple and thermopile just below the tip. A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame and main burner flame meet. Figure 16 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple or thermopile. This will cause the thermocouple or thermopile to cool. When the thermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.
2.Blow air pressure through the holes indicated by the arrows. This will blow out foreign materials such as dust, lint and spider webs. Tighten nut B also by grasping nut A.

Cleaning and Maintenance/Pilot
Oxygen Depletion Sensor Pilot (Figure 17)
When the pilot has a large yellow tip flame, clean the Oxygen
Depletion Sensor as follows:
1.Clean the ODS pilot by loosening nut B from the pilot tubing. When this procedure is required, grasp nut A with an open wrench.
