Initial Lighting
Upon completing the gas line or turning the gas valve on after it
has been in the “OFF” position, a small amount of air will be in the

THERMOPILE
750 Millivolt System
The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning
pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
When you ignite the pilot, the thermopile produces millivolts
(electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve.
After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas

gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This
