Electronic Models -
Electronic models have a fi xed rate gas valve.
Input of electronic models is shown in the
following table:
INTRODUCTION
The millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve witha piezo ignition system which
provides safe, effi cient operation.
The electronic appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot system provides safe, effi cient
operation. External electrical power is required
to operate these units.
LISTING AS FOLLOWS:
These appliances comply with National Safety
Standards and are tested and listed by Omni-
Test Laboratories (Report No. 116-F-27-5)
to ANSI Z21.50 - 2000 (in Canada, CSA 2.22
- 2000), and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91 in both USA
and Canada, as vented gas fi replaces.

and draperies. Locate furniture and window
coverings accordingly.
These appliances are designed to operate on
natural or propane gas only. The use of other
fuels or combination of fuels will degrade
the performance of this system and may be
dangerous.
Millivolt Models - BTU Input
Millivolt models come standard with the manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; fl ame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
