the following:
A) Low gas pressure
B) Dirty or partially clogged ODS/pilot
6. Thermocouple damaged
7. Control valve damaged
8. On thermostat models, safety interlock
system has been triggered

knob pressed in 30 seconds
3. Fully open equipment shutoff valve
4. Hand tighten until snug, then tighten 1/4
turn more
5.
A) Contact local propane/LP gas company
B) Clean ODS/pilot (see Cleaning and
Maintenance, page 18) or replace ODS/
pilot assembly
6. Replace thermocouple
7. Replace control valve
8. Wait one minute for safety interlock sys-
tem to reset. Repeat ignition operation
OBSERVED PROBLEM
When ignitor button is pressed, there is no
spark at ODS/pilot
When ignitor button is pressed, there is
spark at ODS/pilot but no ignition
ODS/pilot lights but flame goes out when
control knob is released
