Replacing The Gas Valve Unit; Frequency Of Operator Checks - HeatStar HS25NG Guide D'utilisation

Below in chart form are various symptoms of a malfunctioning system, possible defects that will cause these symp-
toms and suggested corrective measures. The chart assumes that the proper gas pressure is available to the heater
and that the lighting procedure is as stated on the plate attached to the heater.
SYMPTOMS
burner light off very slow
burner light off very slow infra-red

CAUSES
partially block pilot orifice
pilot out of adjustment
partially blocked burner orifice
low gas pressure
damaged burner
first check for damaged burner
orifice
if burner orifice is not damaged
then check for damaged manifold
blocked pilot orifice
gas cock not in position
pilot gas flow adjustment
screw may be closed
defective thermocouple
defective control
loose wire or improperly wired
defective control
blocked burner orifice
main gas off
air in gas line
loose wire connections
dirty wire connections
Dusty, wet or corrosive environment. Since these
