Spark Ignitor will not

light

1. Defective or misaligned

electrode at pilot

1. Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn o󰀨 pilot and push the red button

again. If pilot will not light - check gap at electrode and pilot-should be 1/8” to

have a strong spark.

2. Defective ignitor (push

button)

2. With the control knob in the pilot position, push the control knob all the way and

hold. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode

wire is properly connected, replace the battery in the ignitor module and try

again. Refer to Maintenance Section. If the problem still exists, replace the

ignitor module box.

Pilot will not stay

lit after carefully

following lighting

instructions

1. Defective pilot generator

(thermocouple), remote

wall switch

1. Check pilot ame. Must impinge on thermocouple/thermopile. NOTE: This

pilot burner assembly utilizes both a thermocouple and a thermopile. The

thermocouple operates the main valve operation (On and O󰀨). Clean and or

adjust pilot for maximum ame impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.

2. Defective automatic valve 2. Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain ow to pilot; millivolt meter should read

greater than 10mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace

the gas valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to

conduct this test.

Pilot burning, no

gas to main burner

1. Wall switch or wires

defective

1. Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper wire across

terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on, replace defective wall switch.. If

okay, jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires

are faulty or connections are bad.

2. Thermopile may not be

generating su󰀩cient

millivoltage

• Be sure wire connections form thermopile at gas valve terminals are tight

and thermopile is fully inserted into pilot bracket.

• One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove wall switch wires

form valve terminals if pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground.

May be grounded to stove or gas supply.

• Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile terminals

of gas valve. Should read 250-300 millivolts (minimum 150) while holding

valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch “O󰀨”. Replace faulty

thermopile if reading is below specied minimum.

3. Plugged burner orice 3. Check burner orices for debris and remove.

4. Defective automatic valve

operator

4. Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On” millivolt meter should read

greater than 150mV. If the reading is okay and the burner does not come on,

replace the gas valve.

Frequent pilot

outage problem

1. Pilot ame may be too low

or blowing (high) causing

the pilot safety

to drop out

1. Clean and/or adjust pilot ame for maximum ame impingement on thermopile

and thermocouple.

2. Possible blockage of the
