INITIAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before placing burner assembly into a housing:
1. Purge air from the supply line.
2. Test for leaks in each of the following locations:
• The gas supply line connection to the main valve;
• The Burner connections and pilot;
• All joints on the valve and control body;
• All field made joints and gas shutoff valves;
• All factory made joints and connections.
3. You may check for gas leaks using one of the following methods only:
• Soap and water solution. WARNING: If using a soap and water solution to test
for leaks, DO NOT spray the solution onto electronic parts;
