8 G—G770BGJ 100% Lockout, Microprocessor-Based Intermittent Pilot Ignition Control
Use only an exact replacement pilot burner/igniter-sensor assembly.
Instructions for installing the pilot burner/igniter-sensor assembly are
typically provided by the appliance manufacturer. If that information is not
available, follow these basic instructions:
•
The pilot burner/igniter-sensor assembly must be positioned for easy
access and mounted so that the pilot burner flame is properly
positioned with respect to the main burner flame.
•
The pilot burner must be located so that the flame receives an ample
supply of clean air (free from products of combustion).
•
The pilot flame must be free from drafts, the full force of main burner
ignition, and falling scale that could hinder main burner flame
ignition.
•
Ensure that the main burner flames do not strike any part of the pilot
burner. The spark gap is factory set at 2.54 mm (0.10 in.), nominal.
•
Mount the assembly securely to the mounting surface using metal
screws.
