PAGE 24 TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) How this Heater Works This gas heater is designed with safety as the primary concern. Most of the components inside this heater are used for safety purposes. Therefore, only certified gas service technicians should service this heater. Your dealer can help you find a certified gas service technician. What Turns the Main Burners On and Off This heater uses a "millivolt system" to control its operation. A millivolt is a very small measurement of electricity.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED) PAGE 25 What Prevents Gas Buildup Your heater has a high technology gas valve in combination with safety sensors which prevent any gas from building up. It also has a pilot light inside the firebox, which is a proven method for preventing gas buildup. While the main burner is off There is a thermopile directly next to the pilot light which can sense if the pilot is still lit.
