door closed, ensure the actuator is pushed all
the way back, then push the end of the actuators to the right until the step in the actuator
moves behind the appliance front face within
the slotted opening.
MANUALLY-RESET BLOCKED FLUE SAFETY
SWITCH
This appliance is equipped with a manually-reset
blocked flue safety switch. Refer to Figure 7
for its location. If during appliance operation,
the flame goes out (independently of the burner
on/off wall switch), it may be due to the operation of this safety limit switch. First allow the appliance to cool, then reset the safety switch
by pushing the red reset button on the back
of the switch.
CAUTION: THE ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE
SHOULD BE TURNED OFF BEFORE REMOVING
THE LIMIT SWITCH.
To access the safety limit switch reset button,
remove the two screws. Pull out limit switch
with low voltage wires attached, push the reset
button, then reinstall the limit switch. At this
time turn the electronic appliance back on.
The appliance should then relight and remain
lit. If this does not occur, turn off the appliance and call a qualified service technician.
Many appliances are equipped when installed
with an outside (make-up) air vent system that
is designed to provide the appliance with outside
make-up air for combustion when in operation.
The actuator for the outside air system is standard on all appliances but must not be operated
if the complete system is not installed. Refer to
Figure 6. When the complete outside air vent
system is installed, the installer will remove the
actuator locking screw.
If your screw is not removed and you have
reason to believe that you have a complete
outside air system, contact your distributor to
have your appliance inspected for the presence
of the complete system. DO NOT assume that
you have this system in place because you have
an actuating lever present on your appliance
front face.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE MILLIVOLT GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off valve (located at gas supply inlet) is in
the “ON” position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.
1. Spark ignitor will not light
pilot after repeated triggering
of ignitor button.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following the lighting instructions.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob “ON,”
Wall Switch “ON.”
POSSIBLE CAUSES
A. Defective ignitor
(no spark at electrode).
B. Defective or misaligned electrode
at pilot (spark at electrode).
C. Gas supply pressure errant.
D. Pilot orifice plugged.
A. Defective pilot generator (thermo-
generator).
A. Damper closed or Damper Switch
defective.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONSYMPTOM
Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and
trigger the ignitor button again. If pilot lights, an improper
gas mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge
period is recommended. If pilot will not light – check gap at
electrode and pilot - should be 1/8" to have a strong spark.
If gap measures 1/8", replace pilot (Figure 9 ).
Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits as
marked on the rating plate.
Clean or replace pilot orifice.
Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermogenerator (Figure 9 ). Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement
on thermogenerator. Ensure that the connection between the
valve and thermogenerator are tight and secure.
Ensure damper control lever is locked in the open position,
all the way to the right. If the damper control lever is locked
in the open position troubleshoot through Steps B., C. and D.
below. If the main burner will still not light, determine if the
damper switch is defective and replace if necessary.
4. Frequent pilot/burner outage
problem.
B. Wall switch or wires defective.
C. Thermopile may not be generating
sufficient millivoltage.
D. Plugged burner orifice.
A. Pilot flame may be too low or
blowing (high) causing the pilot/
valve safety to drop out.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper
wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on,
replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across
wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty
or connections are bad.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at ther-
mopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts
minimum with optional wall switch “OFF.” Replace faulty
thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.
Check burner orifice for stoppage and remove.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on thermogenerator (Figure 9 ).
