“PP”. Be sure to leave thermostat wire on one
terminal.
4. FREQUENCY OF OPERATOR CHECKS
Intermittent use. Appliances that are used seasonally
should be checked before shutdown and again before
the next use.
Dusty, wet or corrosive environment. Since these
environments can cause the gas control to deteriorate
more rapidly, the system should be checked more often.
The gas control should be replaced if:
A. It does not perform properly on checkout or trouble
shooting.
B. The gas control knob Is hard to turn or push down,
or it fails to pop back up when released.
