°
position onto the pan, an attachment screw is recommended. Bend pilot tubing
from pilot assembly until the bottom of the pilot bracket is resting against the pan. This will hold the pilot at the 45º
position. (Use caution when bending pilot tubing not to kink the tubing and when locating the igniter and flame
sensor wires not to locate the wires and the tubing in or over the burner pan.) Locate the Valve Box on the left
front corner and the Switch Box in the right front corner of the firebox as far forward as possible (See Figure 4).
