Pilot Fuel Conservation Timer (GSB & GSR units)
7 Day Pilot Shutoff Timer (applies to units in CPI mode only)
This appliance may be equipped with a 7 day pilot shutoff timer. This
timer helps conserve fuel and save money by turning the pilot off when
the appliance is not used for 7 days (this timer is mandated in certain
areas for conservation purposes). This applies only when the unit is in
CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) mode. If the unit is in IPI (Intermittent
Pilot Ignition) mode, the timer does not apply.
When in CPI mode the pilot will remain lit as long as the burner is
engaged within a 7 day window. Each time the burner is turned on the 7 day timer resets. If the burner is
not engaged within the 7 day window, the pilot will automatically revert to IPI mode and turn off to
conserve fuel.
To switch back to CPI, simply:
GSB2 Units: toggle the IPI/CPI switch to IPI, then back to CPI.
GSR2 Units: use the remote to toggle from IPI mode, then back to CPI mode.
To prevent the need to reset the pilot mode during the heating season, we have listed a few strategies
below:
Option 1: Remember to periodically turn on the heater during the heating season
If you use your heater for supplemental heat, this may be the best solution. Set a specific time, once or
twice per week (e.g. 5 pm on Tuesday & Friday) to turn the heater on for a few minutes. This will reset
the timer and prevent the need to restart the pilot.
Option 2: Use a thermostat
GSR Units: Use the thermostat included with the appliance
GSB Units: Consult your dealer for thermostats compatible with your appliance.
The use of a thermostat will keep the room at a constant temperature and will, in most cases, keep the
heater working throughout the heating season. Light the pilot at the beginning of the heating season and
set the thermostat to the desired room temperature. As long as the outside temperature does not rise
excessively, for seven days or more, the pilot will continue to operate.
Option 3: Use a programmable thermostat (GSB2 Only)
A programmable thermostat may be set to turn on, once per week, to a high temperature for a short time.
This will reset the 7-day timer and allow the heater to operate without having to restart the pilot.
