Figure22 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incor-rect pilot flame is not touching the thermocouple.This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When thethermocouple cools, the heater will shut down.If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown inFigure 22• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-ance, page 15)• see Troubleshooting, page 19Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units willhave a slight curve, but flame should be blue andhave no yellow or orange color.OPERATING HEATERContinuedFigure 22 - Incorrect Pilot Flame PatternFigure 21 - Correct Pilot Flame PatternThermocouplePilot BurnerPilot BurnerThermocoupleBlue FlameYellow FlameBURNER FLAME PATTERNWARNING: If yellow tippingoccurs, your heater could pro-duce increased levels of carbonmonoxide.NOTICE: Do not mistake orangeflames with yellow tipping.
