3. Air in gas lines when

4. ODS/pilot is clogged.
5. Gas regulator setting is
not correct.
6. Thermostat control knob
not in pilot position
(thermostat models only).
1. Control knob not fully

5. Pilot flame not touching
thermocouple, which
allows thermocouple to

to go out. This problem
could be caused by one or
both of the following:
A) Low gas pressure
B) Dirty or partially
clogged ODS/pilot
6. Thermocouple damaged.
7. Control valve damaged.
