Millivolt 3 Series Only
750 Millivolt System
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas
control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to
operate an additional one to two minutes before you turn the gas
control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
time period allows the millivolts (electrical energy) to build-up to a
sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
Important
All correspondence should refer to complete Model Number,
Serial Number and type of gas.
