Operating Options
“On-Off” Switch, Thermostat Or Remote Control
Your stove comes equipped with an “On/Off” rocker switch used to turn the burner on and off while the pilot light is on. The switch is a round rocker switch located behind the main control panel door.
A millivolt wall thermostat, or a remote control, can be used to supple- ment the rocker switch. The gas valve is powered by millivolts generated by the pilot assembly. This millivolt system is very sensitive to electrical resistance, therefore, make sure all connections are tight, clean and free from corrosion. Do not splice any millivolt wires. Consult the table below to determine the proper gage of wire for the thermostat or wall switch connections. This table refers to the total length of the wire (out to the switch and back). The thermostat must be a millivolt type. A
Follow the instructions included with the thermostat or remote control for wiring. The thermostat, remote control and rocker switch will turn the burner on and off independently. Be sure to set the rocker switch to the “Off” position when using the thermostat or remote control and set the thermostat or remote control to the lowest temperature when you wish to use the rocker switch only, otherwise one may override the other.
Millivolt Control System
This stove operates on a millivolt control system. As such, no additional power supply is needed for the stove to heat. The pilot assembly contains a thermocouple that, when heated by the pilot flame, generates electricity (millivolts- mV=1/1000 of a volt) which opens a valve allowing gas to continue flowing to the pilot assembly. The pilot assembly also contains a thermopile that, when heated by the pilot flame, generates electricity that flows to terminal #1 (labeled TPTH) on the gas valve. When the electricity is conducted from terminal #1 through the on/off switch, thermostat, or receiver of the remote control to terminal #3 (labeled TH) on the gas valve, the main burner will ignite.
