LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING:
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result, causing property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
LIGHTING THE ODS PILOT
To read the safety valve control knob (Fig. 19-1), read the
marking nearest the teardrop-shaped metal pointer.
1. If the safety valve control knob is in the PILOT position,
push in slightly on the knob and rotate it clockwise
to the OFF position.
2. Release knob and wait five minutes.
3. Turn safety valve knob counterclockwise to the
PILOT position. (Only the ODS pilot gas will flow when
the knob is pushed in.)
4. Push and hold the safety valve knob fully in and push
in the piezo ignitor button several times until the ODS
pilot lights.
5. Hold the safety valve knob in for approximately 60
seconds before releasing.
6. If the ODS pilot does not stay lit, turn the safety
valve knob clockwise to the full OFF position.
Wait five minutes, then repeat steps 3 through 5.
IGNITING THE MAIN BURNER
With the ODS pilot lit, turn the safety valve knob
counterclockwise to the ON position. Flip the bark
switch to the ON position and the burner will light.
SHUTTING OFF THE MAIN BURNER
Flip the bark switch to the OFF position. The ODS pilot
will remain lit.
SHUTTING OFF THE ODS PILOT
Be sure the switch control is OFF and depress and turn
the safety valve knob clockwise to the OFF position.
When shutting your burner down, be sure to TURN
THE FLAME FULLY OFF (to PILOT or OFF). Make
sure the burner is completely off for one minute
before relighting.
ADJUSTING THE ODS PILOT
a. The ODS pilot flame should encircle the
generator tip, and is preset at the factory (Fig.
19-2). Ordinarily the ODS pilot will not require
field adjustment.
b. If adjustment is necessary, remove the cap screw
(Fig. 19-1) and turn the smaller gas adjustment
screw inside counterclockwise to increase
the ODS pilot flame, and clockwise to
decrease the ODS pilot flame. Replace the cap
screw.
MAINTENANCE
Your burner is equipped with a safety ODS pilot
that will shut off the gas supply in case the ODS
pilot is not burning or functioning properly. Make
sure the ODS pilot is adjusted properly and that the
generator space clips are tightly connected to the
terminal screws on the valve. If the ODS pilot will not
stay lit, call your local gas utility or gas supplier.
A periodic check of the following should be
performed at least annually by a qualified
professional service representative.
1. Valves and switch for proper operation.
2. Flue system for rust, damage, or leaks.
3. Damper operation.
4. Orifices for dirt or other foreign matter.
5. Visual check on the burner
Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call for a qualified professional service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been underwater.
The Omega burner system has an ODS (Oxygen Depletion Sensor) pilot that can be lit by using the built in piezo ignitor switch
on the burner, or by hand using a match or long necked lighter. When lighting the ODS pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the burner area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor as some gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the floor. IF YOU SMELL GAS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 1.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand, don’t
try and repair it. Call a qualified professional service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in fire or explosion.
