5 Purge the gas line. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance.
Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
6 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if
necessary.
The pilot flame should impinge the top 3/8Ó of the
thermopile. If it does not, you may need to turn
the pilot up.
3/8Ó
7 Ensure the heater establishes a draft. If the heater unexpectedly shuts off 5 to 25 minutes after
starting, the heater may not be drafting. The cause: negative pressure. Typically, re-starting the
heater five minutes after the shutoff will overcome the negative pressure and establish a draft.
However, if this does not work, you may wish to open a door or window near the heater. This will
allow in enough air in to overcome any negative pressure. Once drafting is initiated, the heater will
work properly without having to re-start the heater or allow in outside air. This is due to the heat
generated by the pilot.
Possible Causes of Negative Pressure:
¥ Exhaust fans (Jenn-Aire type fans in kitchens, bathroom fans)
¥ Vent termination located near a down draft or against prevailing winds
¥ Internal home pressure characteristics (multiple fireplaces, etc...)
