Pilot Fuel Conservation Timer (MV units)

7 Day Pilot Shutoff Timer (MV Units)
This appliance is 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).
The appliance will function normally 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 turn off to conserve fuel. If the pilot is turned off,
it will need to be manually re-lit.
To prevent the need to restart the pilot 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. 5pm on Tuesday & Friday) to turn the heater on for a few minutes. This will restart the timer and
prevent the need to restart the pilot.
Option 2: Install a thermostat
This 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 temperatures does not rise excessively, for seven days or more, the pilot will
continue to operate.
Option 3: Use a programmable thermostat
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.
