  lighting instructions.                                                     

Clean and or adjust pilot for

maximum flame impingement

on generator.

2. Be sure wire connections

from generator at gas valve

terminals are tight and  

generator is fully inserted into

pilot bracket.

3. Check thermogenerator

with millivolt meter.  Take 

reading at “TH-TP” and “TP”

terminals of gas valve. 

Should read 325 millivolts 

minimum while holding valve

knob depressed in pilot  

position, pilot lit, and ON/OFF  

switch “OFF”.  Replace faulty  

generator if reading is below

specified minimum.

B.  Defective valve 

1. Connect the millivolt

  meter probes to the “TH-TP”

  and “TP” terminals on the gas

  valve.  Turn knob to

  pilot position, depress and

  light pilot light.  If meter

  reading is greater than 325

  m.v. after 30 seconds, the

  pilot generator is good.  If

  pilot does not stay lit, the

  valve is defective.  If the

  meter reading is less than

  325 m.v., the thermo-

  generator is defective.

C.  Open wire connection 

1. Check wire continuity and

in  pilot circuit                          connections in pilot circuit.
