G136 SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5. Standing Pilot Operation
a. Initial and Seasonal Lighting Procedure
Initial lighting constitutes the first time the
appliance has been lit after installation. Seasonal
lighting refers to lighting the appliance after it has
been unused and the gas valve has been turned
to OFF.
Be sure the remote wall switch and the gas knob
(located behind the control access panel) have
been turned to the OFF position. See Figure 30.
Also, your appliance may have a rocker ON/OFF
switch installed inside the control access panel;
if it does, this also needs to be turned to the OFF
position. If they are not, do so and allow the
appliance to sit for five minutes so any gas that
may have accumulated in the main burner
compartment escapes.
Turn the manual shutoff valve to ON. Turn the gas
knob to PILOT, as shown in Figure 31, and press
in. While holding it in, light the pilot by pressing
the red ignitor button, shown in Figure 32, several
times until the pilot ignites. Continue to hold in
the gas knob for about one minute after the pilot
is lit. Release the gas knob. The pilot should
remain lit. If it goes out, turn everything to the OFF
position, let it sit for five minutes and repeat this
step again.
When the pilot remains lit, turn the gas knob to
the ON position. See Figure 33. You may now turn
the remote wall switch to the ON position which
will turn on the main burner. Initially, the flames
may resemble more of a blue color but after the
first 20 minutes of operation, they will become
more yellow.
b. Lighting Procedure During Regular Use
Simply turn the wall switch to the ON position. This
will ignite the main burner.
c. Shutdown During Regular Use
Turn the remote wall switch to OFF. This will
disengage the burner and the flames will
extinguish. The pilot light will continue to burn.
d. Seasonal Shutdown
When the burning season comes to an end, the
entire system should be shut down. This way, no
gas will be running to the appliance while it is
not in use.
To shut down the appliance for a long period of
time, you must first shut off the main burner by
moving the remote wall switch (and the ON/OFF
rocker switch, if applicable) to the OFF position.
Open the control access panel to expose the
control compartment. Follow Step 1 on page 21.
Locate the gas knob and turn it to the PILOT
position. Press in and continue turning to the OFF
position. Turn the manual ON/OFF valve to OFF.
Your entire system is now shut down.
To relight the appliance, see page 21.
Note:
Keep the area near the appliance clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
