Homes in higher altitudes (i.e., homes at 4,500 feet above sea level or higher) may experience nuisance pilot outage and flame shutdown due to lower atmospheric pressure. Homeowners in these areas should check with their local codes officials, or professional installer. If that’s not the case then check to see if the pilot flame is engulfing the thermocouple. If its not refer to your owners manual for instructions.
