7.Replace piezo ignitor
When ignitor button is pressed, there is spark at ODS/pilot but no ignition
1.Gas supply turned off or manual shutoff valve closed
2.Control knob not in PILOT position
3.Control knob not pressed in while in PILOT position
4.Air in gas lines when installed
5.ODS/pilot is clogged
6.Gas regulator setting is not correct
1.Turn on gas supply or open manual shutoff valve
2.Turn control knob to PILOT position

B)Dirty or partially clogged OD S/pilot
5.Thermocouple connection loose at con- trol valve
6.Thermocouple damaged
7.Control valve damaged
1.Press in control knob fully
2.After ODS/pilot lights, keep control knob pressed in 30 seconds
