OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING PILOT FOR THE FIRST TIME
LEAK TESTING (continued)
You may check for gas leaks with the following methods only:
• Soap and water solution
• An approved leak testing spray
• Electronic sniffer
Check for gas leaks in each of the following locations:
• Pipe from the gas supply line connection to the gas valve
• Burner thread inlet • Field made joints
• Pilot • Factory made joints
• Each joint or connection • All joints on valve and control body
If using a soap and water
solution to test for leaks,
DO NOT spray solution onto
control body.
WARNING
NOTE: Remove any excessive pipe compound from the connections. Excessive pipe compound can
set off electronic sniffers.
The control has an interlock device that does not allow the lighting of the insert up
to the moment the safety device of the flame has not interrupted the gas flow. After
that period of time (when the magnet is closed), it is possible to start the lighting
operation.
The gas control knob is designed to be operated by hand. DO NOT use any tools
during this operation. Damaged knobs may result in serious injury.
WARNING
1. Depress and turn knob counterclockwise
to pilot position.
2. Push pilot knob in and hold in while pressing piezo ignitor
several times until pilot ignites. Continued to hold pilot
knob in for several seconds after ignition. Release and
check that pilot continues to burn.
If the pilot does not stay lit, repeat steps 1 and 2.
