All necessary permits and installation information have been obtained and the final inspection has been


The operation instructions located on the gas valve panel door have been read and understood. A copy of
these instructions can be found in the “Operations” section of this manual.

The operator and pilot igniter have read this manual thoroughly and understand it.
Burner and Pilot Checks
A periodic check of the pilot and burner flames
should be made. Check after the fire has been on for
at least 30 minutes. The pilot flame must cover the
tip of the thermocouple and thermopile probes, if
the pilot flame does not sufficiently cover the
probes it can be adjusted using the pilot adjustment
screw found on the front of the gas valve. The main
burner flame pattern will vary from appliance to
appliance depending on the type of installation and
climatic conditions.
OPERATION
Location of Controls
See Figure 21 for location of controls. Control
functions are outlined below.
Gas Control Knob
This knob is used for starting the pilot and has three
(3) positions: On, Off, and Pilot. The pointer
directly above the knob indicates the position the
knob is in.
Hi/Lo Flame Adjust
This knob controls the burn, either high or low. It is
operated manually by turning the knob. Once in
position, the wall thermostat will turn on the burner
to the position which this knob is set.
Pilot Igniter
This button is used to ignite the pilot. It is pushed
in while the gas control knob is in the Pilot
position. When pressed, it creates a spark at the
pilot, igniting it.
Burner On/Off Switch
This switch turns the burner on after the pilot is lit.
When the wall thermostat is hooked up, this switch
will remain in the “On” position after the pilot is lit.
The wall thermostat will then turn the heater on
automatically when indicated.
