Troubleshooting (continued)Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
3. (Continued) C.Failed valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switc h
in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter a the thermopile
terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the
reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace
the gas valve.

it. Refer to log instructions.
B.Impro per air shutter setting. Refer to manual for shut ter set points. Ensure that set point is
correct for appliance/gas type. If unit has adjustable shutter, it may
be necessary to increase shutter opening.
C.Debri s around air shutter. Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL
SHOULD BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.
7.Flame bur ns blue and lifts
off burner. A. Insuffi cient oxygen being
supplied. Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris.
Ensure that the vent system joints are tight and have no leaks.
Ensure that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in the area
of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner.
Ensure that the glass is tightened properly on the unit, particular ly
on top corners.
