SAFETY GAS PILOT LIGHT FUNCTION:
The Affi nity 30Gp is equipped with two independently controlled circular gas burners, two Safety
Gas Pilot Light valves, and a dual piezo spark ignition system. The gas pilots for both the inner
and outer burners consist of a pre-confi gured pilot burner orifi ce/jet specifi cally for either Natural
Gas or LP Propane Gas operation.
The purpose of the Safety Pilot Valve is to ensure no gas fl ows to the main burner manifold
unless the gas pilot’s are burning. When a pilot light is burning, it heats a Thermocouple probe
which opens the safety valve and allows gas to fl ow. This “safety” feature controls situations
where a gas knob is turned on and no fl ame is present, thereby eliminating unburned gas into an
occupied space.
It is recommended the gas pilot light burners be shut off each night to minimize gas usage.
SAFETY GAS PILOT LIGHT FUNCTIONALITY
ONCE THE CHASSIS IS INSTALLED AND BEFORE CONNECTING TO AN INLET
GAS SUPPLY, IT’S RECOMMENDED TO BLEED THE INPUT GAS LINE OF AIR TO
REDUCE THE TIME TO ENGAGE THE SAFETY GAS PILOT LIGHT BURNERS.
