PILOT FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Figure 13 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. The correct flame will
be blue and will extend beyond the thermocouple. The flame will
surround the thermocouple just below the tip. A slight yellow flame
may occur where the pilot flame and main burner flame meet.

Figure 14 shows an incorrect flame pattern. The incorrect pilot
flame is not touching the thermocouple. This will cause the log set
to shut down.

BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Figure 15 shows a correct burner flame pattern. The correct flame
will be blue at the base and yellow at the tip. Flame should be
vertical in shape and should not impinge decorative logs.
