Figure 22 - Incorrect Pilot Flame Pattern
Slightly press in control knob and turn counter-
clockwise
to the LOW or HIGH positions
for double burner heater or ON position for
single burner heater.
IMPORTANT: Release downward pressure
while turning control knob. Control knob will
lock at the desired position.
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 21 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 22 shows an incorrect pilot flame pat-
tern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touching
the thermocouple. This will cause the thermo-
couple to cool. When the thermocouple cools,
the heater will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 22
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 14)
• see Cleaning, page 17
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but flame should be blue
and have no yellow or orange color.
