IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 1

IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 2

PILOT WILL NOT LIGHT

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, (e.g. soot, etc.) which could short the spark, clean the area. Check for fluff in the pilot aeration hole. See diagram 13, arrow A in replacing parts section

NO SPARK

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly,

(e.g. coal, soot etc.) which could short the spark, clean the area.

No

 

Yes

 

Operate the valve.

Does the pilot light?

 

 

 

 

Is there a spark?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No

Yes

Operate the valve to

light the pilot, does the

valve 'click'?

Consult the users instructions, retry.

No

No

Is the valve being

 

operated correctly?

Consult User

 

No

 

Instructions and retry.

 

 

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ensure gap between

is as diagram 13 in replacing

 

 

 

Is the control being operated correctly?

Yes

Will the pilot light

with a match?

Yes

Is the gap between

electrode and thermocouple

as in diagram 13 in

replacing parts section?

No

Reset the electrode gap, retry.
