4.4 Control (Millivolt System)
4.4.1 Millivolt System
The standing pilot burns continuously even when the main burner is OFF. When you ignite the pilot, the
thermopile produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30
seconds you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow the pilot flame to burn
an additional one to two minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the
ON position. This allows current millivolt build-up to a sufficient level to operate the gas control properly.
4.4.2 MILLIVOLT SYSTEM
1. Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing pilot controls found in this manual
and on labels found in control compartment under the firebox of the fireplace.
2. During the operating season, leave the control valve knob in the “ON” position. This will allow the
pilot flame to remain lit.
Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace REMOTE/ OFF/ON switch.
NOTE:
The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the height of the main burner flame. The
control knob has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 3. Rotate the knob counterclockwise
to “HI” to increase the flame height and clockwise to “LO” to decrease the flame height.
3. When the heating season ends, turn the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch to “OFF” and the control knob to
“OFF”. The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.
