REMEDY
1.Measure the gas supply pres- sure.
Contact your local gas supplier to obtain adequate gas supply volume and pressure.
2.Check and tighten the connec- tions.
3.Block the excessive air flow to make the pilot flame contact the thermocouple.
4.Check for, and repair, any dam- aged
1.Perform the normal Lighting Procedure. Turn the gas control valve knob to ON to light the main burners.
If the burners do not light, the gas safety valve has failed and must be replaced.
2.Measure the gas supply pres- sure.
Contact your local gas supplier to obtain adequate gas supply volume and pressure.
3.Refer to the preceding Pilot Burner problems and use the correct remedy.
4.Increase the thermostat setting until the burners light. If this setting is greater than the desired temperature, reset the thermostat.
