    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 750 Millivolt System The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF. When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON.
