Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/

 

 

OFF switch in the ON position. Take a reading with a

 

 

millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt

 

 

meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading

 

 

is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, re-
