Failure Message Display

Spark Safety Device:

Automatically shuts unit down when there is an abnormal spark at time
of ignition.

Flame Failure Device:

Activated when burner flame fails. This prevents raw gas from being
released.

Overheat Switch:

This device automatically cuts the gas off if the heater exceeds a
predetermined temperature. This is normally caused by an
obstruction in front of the louvers, or a blocked fan filter.

Two Fusible Links:

Backs up the overheat switch. If the fusible link cuts the unit off, a
service call by an authorized person is required to replace the link.
