LIGHTING THE BURNER
1. Ensure the pilot is burning. Turn the gas control knob
counterclockwise to ON (Fig. 23-1) to ignite the burner.
The valve will open and the burner will light.
Note: The ignition sequence will take approximately 5
seconds.
WARNING: If the burner fails to light within 5 seconds,
turn the control knob clockwise to
PILOT. Allow five (5) minutes for any
gas in the unit to dissipate, then repeat
step 2 above. IF YOU SMELL GAS, SEE
STEP B AT BEGINNING OF LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS.
If the burner fails to light after several tries, push in the
control knob slightly and turn clockwise to OFF, and contact
a qualifi ed professional service technician.
SHUTTING DOWN
MAIN BURNER ONLY (pilot will remain lit):
Turn the control knob clockwise to PILOT.
BURNER AND PILOT (total shutdown):
If you do not plan on using your burner system for an
extended period (one week or more), you may extinguish
the pilot. This will conserve energy and save you money.
Push in the control knob slightly and turn clockwise to OFF.
PILOT BURNER CHECK/ADJUSTMENT
With the pilot burner lit and the control knob in the pilot
position, check the pilot system for proper fl ame size and
appearance (see Fig. 23-2). The pilot adjustment screw is
located on the front of the gas valve (see Fig. 23-2). Using a
small fl at head screwdriver, adjust the pilot screw to properly
size the fl ames. Turning the screw clockwise will lower the
fl ames, and turning it counterclockwise will raise them. Be
careful not to back the screw out of its threads.
The pilot fl ame should be a quiet, soft blue fl ame with yellow
tipping that encircles the thermocouple tip.
