Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 16 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 17 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.
Figure 16 - Correct Pilot Flame Pattern
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 17
• turn heater off (see TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE, above)
• see TROUBLESHOOTING, pages 17 through 20
