PILOT FILTER
The pilot burner is protected from blockage by a pilot filter
situated within the gas control valve. The filter is large and
designed to last the life of the gas control valve under normal
operating conditions. It is therefore unlikely to need
replacing. However in the event of pilot filter blockage being
suspected the complete valve will need replacing.

NOTE: The interrupter connector is held in place by the
thermocouple lead. Withdraw thermocouple from
grommet, noting the route the lead takes so that the
replacement can be routed in a similar manner to
eliminate sharp bends.
d
Replacement is the reverse of removal. Ensure on
