Lighting & Shutdown Procedures - kozy heat 942 Installation & Operating Manual

K) LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES
NOTE: Prior to lighting, check all fittings for leakage. This is accomplished by applying soapy water on all connections made. If there is any
leakage, bubbles will appear at the point of connection. If bubbles occur, tighten the fittings until the bubbles no longer appear.
IMPORTANT: TEST ALL CONNECTIONS WHETHER FIELD OR FACTORY MADE.
NOTE: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi.
NOTE: The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Pressure check taps for the manifold (outgoing) and inlet (incoming) pressures are located in front of the gas valve. The right pressure
tap is the manifold pressure and the left pressure tap is the incoming pressure. Follow instructions on page #26 for checking these
pressures.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
1. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
2. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier thanair and will settle on the floor.
3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in, or turn by hand,
don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician.
Forced or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion,
and loss of warranty.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system which
has been under water.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: Read 1-8 before lighting the fireplace for the first time. Refer to Figure 18, page #25.
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting, if installed.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance (Fan).
3. Open the lower grill by grasping the center of the top louver, and pull out and down.
4. Open the valve cover to access the gas valve & controls.
5. Push in control knob (A) slightly and turn clockwise
NOTE: Knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless knob is pushed in
slightly. Do not force.
6. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas, STOP! Follow the safety
information listed above. If you don't smell gas, go to the next step.
7. Find the pilot - follow metal tube from gas control. The pilot is behind the burner tube
inside the combustion chamber.
8. Turn the control knob (A) on gas valve counterclockwise
9. Push in the control knob all the way and hold in. Press the piezo igniter button (B).
The pilot will generally light with two or three pushes on the igniter. Hold the knob in for about one (1) minute after the pilot
is lit. Release knob and it will pop back out. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 5 through 9.
