Inspecting Heater; Cleaning - Desa LCR16PT Manual Del Usaurio

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 22 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.
Figure 23 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 23
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 15)
• see Troubleshooting, page 18
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.

qualified service person. Heater
may need more frequent clean-
ing due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, pet
hair, etc.
