REMEDY
1. Turn on gas supply or
open manual shutoff
valve.
2. Fully press in control

nance, page 26) or
replace ODS/pilot
assembly.
5. Replace gas regulator.
6. Turn thermostat control
knob to pilot position.
1. Press in control knob
fully.

3. Fully open manual shut-
off valve.
4. Hand tighten until snug,

POSSIBLE
CAUSE
1. Gas supply turned off or
manual shutoff valve
closed.
2. Control knob not fully
pressed in while being
turned to PILOT/IGN
position (non-thermostat
models only).
Thermostat control knob
not fully pressed in while
pressing ignitor button
(thermostat models only).
3. Air in gas lines when
installed.
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
pressed in.
2. Control knob not pressed
in long enough.
3. Manual shutoff valve not
fully open.
4. Thermocouple connection
loose at control valve.
5. Pilot flame not touching
thermocouple, which
allows thermocouple to
cool, causing pilot flame
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.
8. Safety interlock system
has been triggered
(thermostat models only).
