CAUTIONS

• Trim panels or surrounds must not seal ventilation openings in the existing fireplace that the appliance is installed in.

• The fireplace in which this gas insert is to be installed must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been used to burn wood or synthetic logs. Have the chimney and all inside surfaces of the fireplace brushed and vacuumed so that no soot, embers, or loose combustion deposits can be drawn into the heat circulation blower and blown into the living area.

• If any portion of the chimney system shows signs of structural or mechanical weaknesses, such as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or warped surfaces, the faulty portion must be repaired or replaced prior to installing this appliance.

• The factory built firebox must accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted or screwed together pieces such as baffles / smoke shelf / deflectors, ash lips, glass door, screen or door tracks, log grates, refractory or masonry lining and damper assemblies. Any fireplace component, which is removed, must be retained so they can be reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its original operating condition. The removal of any part must not alter the integrity of the outer shell of the pre-engineered fireplace cabinet in any way. Any parts removed must be replaceable. If any components are removed from (or altered) from the existing fireplace, a Warning Label (see Page 5) must be affixed inside the fireplace firebox, so that it shall be visible upon removal of the fireplace insert. Note:

RTV high temperature silicone is an approved adhesive to affix the label.

Zero Clearance Fireplace Installation

This insert may be installed in a masonry or factory built/zero clearance

(ZC) fireplace. When installing in a ZC fireplace, the ZC grate must be removed and the ZC damper must be removed or secured open. The ZC doors, screen, refractory or masonry lining, baffles and smoke shelf may be removed, if necessary, to install the gas insert. However, do not cut

or alter the fireplace components. The removal of any parts to facilitate installation must not alter the integrity of the inner or outer shells of the fireplace cabinet. See Fireplace Requirements on Page 5.

Glass Door Removal

See Page 20 for Glass Door Removal Instructions.

Brick Liner Installation

HANDLE THE BRICK PANELS WITH CARE (SEE FIGURE 8) AS

THEY ARE FRAGILE. DO NOT FORCE THE PANELS INTO THE

FIREBOX AS THEY WILL BREAK IF FORCED.

1. Open and remove glass door, see “Front Door Removal”

2. The longest panel goes in the rear of the firebox. Tilt the top of the panel forward, insert the bottom of the panel in the brick panel retainer and push the panel to the up-right position.

3. Install the side panels by sliding the top of the panel into the top side brick retainer and then dropping the bottom of the panel into the bottom retainer. The rounded edge on the side brick panels goes toward the front.

Left Front Leg

The size and position of the log set is critical to achieve a safe, reliable and attractive flame pattern. Any attempt to use a different log set in the fireplace will void the warranty and will result in incomplete combustion, sooting and poor flame quality.

Part list: Rear log, Right Front log, Left Front log and Top Twig

1. Remove the logs from the box and carefully unwrap them. The logs are fragile, so handle them with care.

2. Place the rear log with the charred surface forward, on the two rear locating pins (see Figure 9).

3. Place the left front log, with the charred surface forward, (see Figure

10) on the two left front locating pins. Next place the right front log, with the charred surface forward, on the two right front locating pins.

Surround Installation

Install per the following instructions (refer to Figure 13).

The FireStar™ insert flanges are made of heavy 12 gage steel for durability and, if desirable, for the ease of making an inside fit in the fireplace. See

“Packaging List” for sizes available. The side flanges extend 2” below the bottom of the insert and align with the 2” lower filler panel. In those few instances when the elevation of the hearth necessitates, 2” can be cut from the bottom of the side flanges and the insert placed directly on the hearth- not using the leveling bolts or filler panel.

1. Remove the speed nuts from the parts bag and install (with the flat surface forward) on the six holes in the flange brackets (three on each side of the insert). A flat bladed screwdriver may help in installing the nuts.

2. Install all flanges and trim with the insert positioned in the fireplace but a few inches in front of its final location.

3. Open side doors and install the side flanges by lining up the holes in the tabs on the side flanges in front of the holes on the flange brackets.

(Note that the larger tab on side flange goes at the bottom and the front leveling bolts need to be raised to at least two inches to accom-

modate the length of the side flanges). Next insert two slotted 1/4” truss screws for each side flange and secure loosely.

4. Fasten top flange with the remaining two truss screws. Tighten all six truss screws after shifting flanges to eliminate space between side and top flanges.

5. Install two spring clips approximately five inches from each end of each of the three gold trim pieces. The spring clips should be installed in the channel of the trim with the curved end to the front toward the rounded surface of the trim.

6. Place the longest trim piece with the rounded surface out along the edge of the top flange with the spring clips slightly behind the flange.

Pull the trim forward, compressing the spring clips and slide the trim down onto the flange.

7. Insert the elbowed retainer in the mitred end of the side trim pieces and fasten with flat screwdriver. Insert the other end of the retainer in the end of the already installed top flange and slide side trim onto the edge of the side flange compressing spring clips in the process. Repeat the same steps for the other side trim. Fasten the elbowed retainer securely in the top flange making a nice mitred corner.

Note: The pilot flame can be viewed through the burned hole in the right front log.

Lower Front 2” Filler Panel

The FireStar™ insert comes with a 2” panel to fill the space between the insert bottom and the hearth extension. If the hearth elevations necessitate, the insert may be installed directly on the hearth without the leveling bolts or filler panel. To install the panel, insert the four tabs on the top of the panel into the corresponding slots in the insert bottom. Open the insert side doors, remove the two socket head screws from the hardware bag and install them (using a 5/32” hex wrench) through the insert bottom into the filler panel. A tall adjustable filler panel is also available.

To check manifold pressure (with the insert burning at the high burn setting) insert a small phillips screwdriver into the tap and turn a half turn counter-clockwise. Cover the tap with the line from the manometer and check the pressure. Again close the tap gently but securely after completing the check. Check the taps for gas leaks with a gas leak test solution (retighten if necessary).

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the gas supply line is large enough, the supply regulator is properly adjusted and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

Gas Line Installation

Propane tanks are at pressures that will cause damage to valve components. Verify that the tanks have step down regulators to reduce the pressure to safe levels.

After leveling, position the insert in the fireplace, holding it about six inches out from its final location.

CAUTION: Specific Hearth Requirements apply (see Clearances and Specifications).

These appliances must be isolated from the gas supply piping system

(by closing their individual manual shut-off valve) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or

less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Gas Line Installation

The Firestar gas insert must be connected to the gas line in accordance with local codes and / or the National Fuel Gas

Code, Z223.1-latest edition, also known as NFPA 54 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). Included in the manual package is an 8" gas nipple. Locate the threaded gas inlet on the lower left of the insert. Thread the 8" gas nipple into the inlet with a teflon sealer or equivalent. Attach the gas supply line to this hard pipe. The hard pipe can receive a 3/8” inch female iron pipe coupling, or a shut off valve. After connecting the gas line, all joints in the line and connections at the valve should be checked for leaks before final positioning of the unit. Conduct a gas leakage test of the appliance piping and control system downstream of the shutoff valve in the supply line to the appliance.

A MAJOR CAUSE OF OPERATING PROBLEMS WITH GAS

APPLIANCES I !

The most important item to check during the initial installation and the first thing to check when operating problems occur is gas pressure! This appliance will not function properly unless the required gas pressure is supplied. See Table 1 for gas pressure requirements.

The proper gas line diameter must be selected to run from the supply regulator to the insert. Refer to the Table 2 for proper gas pipe diameters.

Note: Some areas allow copper tubing - check with local approval agen-

cies and codes.

COPPER TUBING NOT ALLOWED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN

NATURAL GAS INSTALLATIONS, NEVER USE GALVANIZED OR

PLASTIC PIPES.

Two pressure taps are provided on the insert's valve to check gas pressures.

The taps are located below the on/off/pilot knob (see Figure 14). The left tap is the inlet (supply) pressure side. To check inlet pressure (with the insert burning), insert a small phillips screwdriver into the tap and turn a half turn counter-clockwise. Cover the tap with the line from a manometer and check the pressure. Close tap gently but securely after completing the check. The manifold (outlet) tap is to the right of the inlet tap.

Propane (LP) and Natural Gas Supplies

Your Firestar™ gas insert is equipped from the factory for use with natural gas only as specified on the Safety / Listing label attached to the appliance. This appliance can only be operated using propane gas (LP) if a certified fuel conversion kit provided by Lennox Hearth Products is installed by a qualified service technician.

Also check the orifice size on the label attached to your control panel. It must be the correct size for the fuel and altitude.

Do not run propane tank dry. Running the tank dry may cause a hazardous condition due to pressure drop in empty tank.

Solid fuel is NOT to be used with this unit.

Air Shutter Adjustment

The main burner has an adjustable air shutter located at the end of the burner as it inserts over the orifice. It is located behind the right side door and beneath the control valve. The shutter adjustment has been set at the factory to ensure proper, safe combustion and flame pattern.

Only a qualified gas technician should adjust the air shutter as an incorrect adjustment could cause a hazardous condition. Closing the air shutter will cause the flames to take on a yellow color. Closing it too far will cause improper burning and the flames will turn orange and sooty.

Opening the air shutter will cause the flames to burn cleaner; becoming transparent and bluish.

CAUTION: The air shutter should never be closed to such an extent to create sooting on the viewing glass, logs or heat exchanger. If soot begins to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened gradually until the sooting condition stops.

Open the shutter a small amount at a time until the sooting ceases. See “Flame Color and Behavior” and “Maintenance”, proper pilot flame.

1. Remove glass door (see Glass Door Removal on Page 20). Carefully remove the log set and set aside.

2. Using a 5/32” allen wrench, remove the allen-head screw on the left side of the air control panel as shown in Figure 15a, then lift out air control panel as shown in Figure 15b.

3. Using a 5/32” allen wrench, remove the screw which secures burner tube assembly as shown in Figure 15c. Then lift out burner tube assembly as shown in Figure 15d.

4. Using a phillips screwdriver, loosen the air shutter setscrew just enough so air shutter can be rotated by hand (read note below). See

Figures 15e and 15f.

5. Reinstall components by reversing steps 1 - 4.

6. Locate the air shutter, behind the right side access door (below valve), then adjust the air shutter gap until the proper flame characteristics are achieved.

Note: The setscrew for the air shutter is secured tightly from the factory so that it does not rotate from the factory setting during shipping. Once you loosen the setscrew just enough so that it can be rotated by hand, then reinstall the burner tube, you will be able to access and adjust the air shutter from behind the right side panel (below valve).

Flame Color and Behavior

Your Firestar™ gas insert is designed for maximum heating efficiency.

Therefore, upon lighting of the main burner the flames will be semitransparent or “bluish.” After 10-20 minutes of operation the logs will heat up and the flames will become a yellow/orange color.

Adjusting the insert to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may result in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See Figure 17 showing proper flame appearance.

When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.

Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main burner operation at both high and low flame.

Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a draft gauge, the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

Replacing Burner Orifices

To change orifices, first remove the cassette (see Fuel Conversion and

Cassette Installation on Page 21). Then unscrew orifice using an 3/4” open end wrench, discard the old orifice and reinstall the new orifice.

Flame Height

Adjustment

REDUCING THE ORIFICE SIZE FOR HIGHER ALTITUDES MAIN-

TAINS THE PROPER BTU INPUT TO AIR RATIO. TOO LARGE

AN ORIFICE WILL RESULT IN HIGHER BTU INPUTS THAN THE

DESIGN ALLOWS, MAY RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND

MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

For altitudes above 2,000 ft. (610M) the appliance should be derated by four (4%) percent every 1,000 ft. (305M).

To operate safely, your Firestar gas insert must have the proper burner orifice size determined by the altitude at which it will be operated and other variables such as pressure and valve tolerances. If you have reason to believe your insert’s orifice size may be incorrect for your altitude, have it checked and remedied (if necessary) by a qualified service technician.

Paint Curing

This insert has been painted with a high temperature metallic stove paint.

It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but finishes curing as the insert is used. Fire the insert four successive times for ten minutes each time with a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate the house during these first firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide and unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the insert during the curing process.

Quiet Operation

GAS NOISE: The sound of gas flowing through the insert may be detectable while the unit is in operation. This is a normal operating sound, however if it is objectionable, it can be reduced by turning down the flame. Turning down the flame will reduce heat output.

BLOWER NOISE: As the insert heats up, the blower will come on to move hot air through the heat exchanger and into the room. Adjust the blower speed with the blower control knob to the sound level and air flow desired.

Blower

Your Firestar™ gas insert comes equipped with a 150 CFM blower with a variable speed control and an automatic temperature activated On /

Off snap switch.

Operation:

1. Plug the blower power cord into a grounded (three prong) outlet.

This appliance is equipped with a three prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three - prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

2. After the insert warms up, the blower will come on if the speed control (located at the bottom of the left side door) is left in the on position. The blower will not operate until the insert is warm.

3. Once the blower comes on, turn the knob to the desired speed. No further adjustment is necessary, the blower will come on automatically whenever the insert is warm.

4. If you do not wish to have the blower on, turn the knob until it clicks into the OFF position.

Optional Wall Thermostat

If an optional wall thermostat is to be installed, install the thermostat per the manufacturers instructions (provided with the thermostat). Failure to follow manufacturers instructions could result in a malfunction. Pay special attention to the thermostat location requirements. If the location requirements are not adhered to the appliance, erratic operation or failure may occur.

Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:

• Radiant heat from this appliance, fireplaces, sun or other heat sources.

• Drafts or dead spots behind doors or in corners.

• Hot or cold air from ducts.

“On-Off” Switch And Thermostat

Your gas insert comes equipped with an “ON-OFF” rocker switch used to turn the burner on and off while the pilot is on. The switch is located behind the right side door to the right of the control valve. This switch can be relocated to the hole provided in the top surround panel by pulling the two connectors off of the spades on the back of the switch. Then unscrew the plastic nut on the back side of the switch and pull the switch forward through the hole. Cut the wire tie holding the switch wire and feed the wire behind the side flange up to the switch hole in the top flange.

Care must be taken to ensure the wire is kept away from the heat of the firebox. Reinsert the switch in the hole in the flange, tighten the retaining nut and push the wire connectors back on the spades. The spades may need to be carefully bent downward to provide clearance between the switch and the fireplace facing material.

A millivolt wall thermostat or remote thermostat can be used to supplement the rocker switch. The thermostat and rocker switch will turn the burner on and off independently of each other. Be sure to set the rocker switch to the off position when using the thermostat and set the thermostat to the lowest temperature when you wish to use the rocker switch only, otherwise one may override the other.

Follow the instructions included with the thermostat for wiring. Solder all connections, as good wire connections are critical in millivolt system.

Check with your insert dealer for the proper length and size of the thermostat wire. Both factors effect the function of the thermostat.

Pilot Adjustment

All pilots are burned and checked at the factory prior to shipment.

(Note: If upon initial insert installation the pilot flame flickers or will not remain lit, most likely the pilot is fine but there is air in the gas

line or the gas pressure is too low). Pilot adjustment is not normally required, but should it be necessary, it should be done only by a qualified service technician. The pilot adjustment screw is located to the left of the ON/OFF/PILOT control knob. With a flat bladed screwdriver, remove the pilot adjusting cover to access the pilot adjusting screw. Adjust pilot screw to the properly sized flame as shown in Figure 18. The flames should completely surround the thermopile and extend across the main burner ports. Be careful not to back the adjusting screw out of its threads.

Replace the cover and check for gas leaks.

Gas Pilot Hood

The thermostat, remote control and rocker switch will turn the burner on and off independently. Be sure to set the rocker switch to the “OFF” position when using the thermostat or remote control and set the thermostat or remote control to the lowest temperature when you wish to use the rocker switch only, otherwise one may override the other. If a remote thermostat is to be used with the insert, do not place the receiver under the firebox.

Thermopile

Do not splice any millivolt wires. Refer to Table 3 to determine the proper gage of wire for the thermostat or wall switch connections.

This table refers to the total length of the wire (out to the switch and back). The thermostat must be a millivolt type. A 24-volt furnace thermostat will not work. Never hook up household current, 120

Volts, to the millivolt system. It is not recommended to hook up any more than two switches to the insert (for example a rocker switch and a wall thermostat). Additional switches may affect the system resistance and increase the chance of the burner not igniting. Follow the instructions included with the thermostat or remote control for wiring.

Millivolt Control System

This insert operates on a millivolt control system. As such, no addition power supply is needed for the insert to operate. The pilot assembly contains a Thermopile, that when heated by the pilot flame, generates electricity (millivolts, mV=1/1000 of a volt) that travels to terminal #1.

From this terminal it travels through a black wire to the Vent Safety

Snap Switch. If this switch overheats through a flue blockage or vent pipe disconnection it will open, stop the flow of mV and shut the insert off. This switch will automatically reset (close), when it is cooled down to normal operating temperature. During normal operation, it is closed allowing the mV to flow back to the valve, which opens so gas can flow through.

To check for proper operation, use a multimeter and perform the system checks shown in Table 4 (and refer to Figure 19).

Blower Removal

Unplug the power supply cord from the electrical outlet prior to removing the blower. The blower can be accessed through the back wall of the firebox. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing. See the blower-wiring diagram below for reference. Remove the glass door, log set and brick panels.

All of these items are fragile so handle them with care. Remove the two allen-head screws at the left and right front of the air control panel and lift the panel out. Next, remove the nine allen-head screws around the outside of the panel fastened to the back wall of the firebox. Rotate the top of this panel toward the front, remove the two wires connected to the blower and then lift the panel with the blower attached out of the firebox.

To reinstall the blower, repeat these steps in the reverse order.

Electrical Requirements

This gas insert operates without an outside power source, however the blower requires a 120 Volt electrical service outlet. The blower must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local grounding codes, the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70 - latest edition. In Canada, the current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code

- latest edition. The blower is equipped with a three pronged (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock hazard and should only be plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. DO NOT

CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG

FOR ANY REASON!

• See Millivolt Control Schematic (Figure 19) for information on thermostat and On/ Off switch.

• See Blower Wiring Diagram (Figure 21) for information on the wiring and electrical requirements for the blower.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien des commandes,

étiquetez tous les fils avant de les débrancher. Des erreurs de cáblage peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement inadéquat et dangereux.

Fuel Conversion and Cassette Installation

Converting your FireStar™ gas insert between natural gas and LP can be accomplished by either changing the Quick Change Cassette (valve and pilot assembly) or installing a conversion kit (regulator, burner orifice and pilot orifice). Only a qualified service technician should perform the conversion, as it requires disconnecting the gas supply line and other procedures that should only be performed by a qualified technician.

Cassette Removal

1. Be sure the gas supply is off and blower power cord is disconnected before beginning the conversion. Disconnect the gas supply from the insert being careful not to apply pressure to the valve in the process.

2. Remove the log set and brick panels, (see “Brick Panel and Log

Installation)

3. Remove the burner by lifting the left end and pulling the burner gently through the block plate and past the pilot assembly.

4. Disconnect at the valve the two wire connectors from vent safety snap switch (the uppermost black wire on terminal 1 and the black wire with the round connector located at the top of the valve and behind the gas inlet elbow). Then disconnect the thermostat (red and white wires) and rocker switch (black wires) at terminals #1 and 3.

5. Remove the socket head screw attaching the cassette/body block plate and block plate located in the bottom right end of the firebox.

6. Remove the socket head screw fastening the pilot end of the cassette to the burner holder.

7. Remove the three socket head screws holding the cassette (valve/ pilot assembly) to the body of the insert.

8. The cassette can now be removed by rotating the valve forward and out to the right.

9. Install new, converted or serviced cassette in the reverse order of removal. All parts and wires must be correctly reinstalled to ensure safe and proper operation of the unit.

Conversion Kit

Please see instructions provided with conversion kit.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE: When troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure the external gas shut off valve, located at the gas supply inlet is in the “ON” position.

IMPORTANT: Call your gas supplier or plumber for additional help with any gas control problem. Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.

SYMPTOM

Thin black coating (soot) forms on the viewing glass, logs, or firebox

Humming or whistling coming from insert.

PROBABLE CAUSE

1) Improper log or ember placement

2) Improper air shutter setting

3) Not enough combustion air

4) Incorrect gas pressure

1) Normal operating noise

2) Obstructed orifice opening

3) Defective regulator

A change in flame appearance or burner operation.

Spark igniter will not light pilot after repeated tries.

Pilot will not stay lit after carefully following lighting instructions.

1) A change in gas pressure

2) Improper ember placement

1) No gas supplied to unit or air in line

2) Defective igniter (no spark at electrode)

3) Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot

(spark at electrode)

1) Vent Safety Snap

Switch shut down.

2) Improper Flame impingement

3) Low gas inlet pressure

4) Defective thermopile

5) Bad connection

6)Defective automatic valve operator

Pilot burning, but no flame on main burner with valve knob “ON”, rocker switch and thermostat

“ON”.

1) Pilot has gone out

2) Rocker switch, thermostat, or wires defective

3) Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivolts

4) Plugged burner orifice.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1) See Log Set Installation on Pages 10 and 11. If there is soot in one specific location, the rockwool below this location needs to be adjusted. This can be done by pulling embers forward slightly. If the flames have soot tails, the shutter will need to be opened.

2) If sooting continues open air shutter (see Air Shutter Adjustment on Page 13).

3) Check for debris obstructing air flow in valve compartment under insert or in front of lower venting.

4) Have gas supplier check for correct gas pressure (7" W.C. natural gas: 11" W.C. propane gas).

1) See Quiet Operation on Page 17. The noise may be reduced by slightly turning down the flame. Turning the flame down will reduce the heat output of the insert.

2) If noise is excessive or is “whistling” have your gas supplier check the regulator and orifices and replace if necessary.

3) If noise is excessive or is “whistling” have your gas supplier check the regulator and orifices and replace if necessary.

1) Have your gas supplier check for correct gas pressure (7" W.C. / po. C.E. [1.74 kPa] natural gas; 11" W.C. / po. C.E. [2.74 kPa] LP gas). NOTE: NEVER BLOCK OR OBSTRUCT

AIR INTAKE OR OUTLET VENTS.

2) See Log Set Installation Instructions.

1) Check gas supply. To purge, hold in gas cock on valve for 1-2 minutes and try again.

2) Check for spark at electrode and pilot, if no spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter and igniter wire.

3) Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and trigger the igniter again.

If pilot lights, an intermittent gas/air supply may be the problem, if longer purge will not light - check gap between electrode and pilot - should be 1/8 inch (3 mm) to have a strong spark. If OK, replace pilot.

1) Snap switch activated, have venting system inspected for blockage, down draft or bad snap switch.

2) Check pilot flame adjustment (see "Maintenance" section).

3) Check inlet pressure and adjust pilot if necessary.

4) Be sure wire connections from thermopile are tight at gas valve terminals and at vent safety snap switch.

5a) Either rocker switch or thermostat wires may be grounded. Remove wires from valve terminals. If pilot stays lit, trace switch wiring for a ground. May be grounded to insert or gas supply.

5b) Check open circuit millivolt output of thermopile. Reading should be greater than

325mV. Also check thermopile wire for kinks that can cause loss of mV. Replace faulty thermopile if wire is okay and reading is less than 325mV.

6)Turn valve knob to “ON” and thermostat (if installed) to 90º. Millivolt meter should read greater than 100 mV. If reading is OK and burner does not turn on, replace gas valve

(qualified service technician only).

1) See Lighting Instructions.

2) Disconnect rocker switch and thermostat wires at terminals 1 and 3 on valve. Jumper across from 1 to 3 with pilot lit. If burner comes on either rocker switch, thermostat, or wiring is not functioning. If not, jumper wires across switch wires at gas valve. If burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.

3) Check thermopile with millivolt meter (see Maintenance and Servicing), recheck symptom #2.

4) Check burner for stoppage and remove.
