C. Failed valve.

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

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

D. Plugged burner orifice.

Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stoppage.

 

 

 

 

E. Wall switch or wires.

Check the wall switch and wires for proper connections. Place the

comes on, replace the wall switch. If the wall switch is OK, place

 

 

the jumper wires across the wall switch wires at the gas valve. If the

 

 

burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are bad.

B. Improper air shutter setting.

Refer to manual for shutter 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. Debris around air shutter.

Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL

 

 

SHOULD BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.
