OWNER’S MANUAL
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 17 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 18 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.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange
flames with yellow tipping. Dust
or other fine particles enter the
heater and burn causing brief
patches of orange flame.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 19 shows a correct burner flame
pattern. Figure 20 shows an incorrect burner
flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame
pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It
also shows the flame higher than 1/2 the
glass panel height.
WARNING: If yellow tipping
occurs, your heater could pro-
duce increased levels of carbon
monoxide. If burner flame pat-
tern shows yellow tipping, follow
instructions at bottom of this
page.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 20
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas
