Problem with gas valve.

• Use a DC voltmeter to measure the voltage across the TPTH and

 

 

TP terminals. Main operator voltage: Open circuit ≥ 325mV Closed

• If voltage is not present, check the control circuit for proper

 

 

operation.

 

 

• If proper control system voltage is present, replace the gas control.

Glass fogs up

Normal Condition: after the appliance warms up the glass will clear.

 

**Due to additives in gas, glass may get hazy during operation** Clean as needed.
