CAUTION
Do not apply a jumper across or short the valve coil
terminals. Doing so can burn out the heat anticipator
in the thermostat or damage the ignition module.
IF MAIN BURNER WILL NOT COME ON WITH
CALL FOR HEAT
1. Make sure the gas control knob is in the ON position.
2. Adjust thermostat several degrees above room temperature.
3. Using an ac voltmeter, check for voltage at gas control.
• Intermittent Pilot Igntion—If pilot lights, measure
voltage across MV/PV and MV. If pilot does not light,
measure across MV/PV and PV before safety lockout
occurs.
• Hot Surface or Direct Spark Ignition—Measure volt-
age across MV terminals at gas control.
4. If voltage is not present, check control circuit for pro-
per operation.
5. If proper control circuit voltage is present, replace
gas control.
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER (FOR
YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE OPERATING)
WARNING

CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Pilot/main burner flame is lit automatically. Do
not light the pilot/main burner flame manually.
2. Before lighting appliance, smell around the ap-
pliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor
because LP gas is heavier than air.

• Turn off the gas supply at the appliance ser-
vice valve. On LP gas systems, turn off gas
supply at the gas tank.
• Do not light any appliances in the house.
• Do not touch electrical switches or use phone.
• Leave the building and use a neighbor's
phone to call your gas supplier.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to push down or turn the gas control knob.
Never use any tools. If the gas control knob will
not operate by hand, call a qualified service
technician to replace the gas control. Force or
attempted repair can result in a fire or explosion.
5. Call a qualified service technician to replace the
gas control if it has been flooded with water.
6. Replace the gas control in the event of any
physical damage, tampering, bent terminals,
missing or broken parts, stripped threads, or
evidence of exposure to heat.
