Figures 19 and 22 show 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. Figures 20 and 23 show 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.

Oxygen Depletion Sensor Pilot (Figure 21 )
When the pilot has a large yellow tip flame, clean the Oxygen
Depletion Sensor as follows:
1. Clean the ODS pilot by loosening nut B from the pilot
tubing. When this procedure is required, grasp nut A with
an open end wrench.
2. Blow air pressure through the holes indicated by the arrows.
This will blow out foreign materials such as dust, lint and
spider webs. Tighten nut B also by grasping nut A.
