push in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.

If the status light does not start blinking within 90 seconds, repeat steps 2 through 5 up to THREE (3)
times, waiting 10 minutes between lighting attempts.
The circuitry in this advanced gas valve requires that you wait 10 minutes between lighting attempts.
If the status light turns solid red, release the gas control/temperature knob and repeat steps 2
through 5 (waiting 10 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot). If the status light does not start
blinking after three lighting attempts, turn the gas control/temperature knob to the "OFF" position
and call a qualified service technician or your gas supplier.
