OPERATION AND SERVICE
GAS CONTROL VALVE
This gas valve is a 24 volt AC combination-step opening valve. It includes two valves
assembled in parallel, connected by a wiring harness. Note that the valves have fixed
pressure regulation and are not adjustable. However, the manifold (outlet) pressure is
adjustable as described on the next page.
IMPORTANT:
For complete device shut-off, both gas control knobs must be in the OFF position.
Both gas control knobs must be in the same position for operation or shutoff.
Do not alter or remove the wiring harness.
Do not apply a jumper across the valve lead wires or short them together.
