Millivolt System, Lighting, and Burner Control
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
BEFORE LIGHTING
A This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When
lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B Smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next
to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light an appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your
building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C Use only your hand to push or turn the gas control knob. Never use
tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it.
Call a qualified technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion.
D Do not use the appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace any part of the control system which has been under water.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stop! Read the safety information above this label.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.
4. Locate valve under the burner assembly.
5. If the control knob is not already in the off position, i.e. the word
“OFF” in the 9 o’clock position, then push in the gas control knob
slightly and turn
clockwise to “OFF”. NOTE: Knob cannot be
turned from “PILOT” to “OFF” unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do
not use force.
6. Wait five [5] minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas.
STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above on this label. If
you don’t smell gas then go to the next step.
7. Now push in the control knob slightly and turn
counter-clockwise
to the “PILOT” position.
8. Push in the control knob all the way and hold it. With the other
hand push in the red igniter button until you hear a click. Now
observe closely the pilot burner located on the rear center-left
hand side of the main burner.
If a flame has appeared then continue to depress the control knob for 20
seconds. If the flame did not appear then continue to depress the red
igniter button every 5 seconds until a flame is established. NOTE: If
after 30 seconds a flame has not yet been established then turn the
control knob back to the off position and repeat steps 5, 6 & 7.
9. Once the pilot has been established hold the control knob in the
depressed position for approximately 25 seconds before releasing. If
the flame goes out then repeat steps 7 and 8.
If the knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call
your service technician or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control to
“OFF” and call your service technician.
10. Now turn the control knob to the “ON” position. The burner will not light
unless the wall switch thermostat or remote control is turned “ON” or in
the case of the thermostat there is a call for heat.
11. Close the access door and turn all electrical power back to the
appliance.
12. The pilot must be turned off when the unit is not in use.
