Sure Heat CVS303 Natural Gas Conversion Kit - Manual (Page 7)

LIGHTING YOUR GAS LOGS WITH THE SAFETY PILOT KIT
1. Light Pilot
Turn Control Knob to Pilot Position (Figure 17), push knob fully in
and hold a long lighted match at the Pilot Burner Assembly.
After lighting the Pilot, hold the Control Knob in the ignition position
for approximately 45 seconds. This is an adequate time for the
Thermocouple to reach an operational temperature in order to
keep the Pilot lit once the Control Knob is released. If the Pilot
does not remain lit, turn the Control Knob to the Off position,
wait 5 minutes, then repeat the process as outlined above.
NOTE: If the Pilot continues to go out, check to be sure the Pilot
Thermocouple lead (Part #5) has not been overtightened to the Gas
Control Valve.
2. Burner Ignition
To light the Burner, turn the Control Knob counter clockwise from
the Pilot Position to the On Position (Figure 18). In this position,
both the Pilot Burner and Main Pan Burner will be lit.
3. Burner Shutdown
To turn off the Burner Pan, move the Control Knob clockwise back to the Pilot Position. This will extinguish
the Main Burner Pan, but will keep the Pilot Burner lit for instantaneous ignition of the Main Burner Pan the
next time you wish to use your gas log set.
4. Total Burner Shutdown
To turn off the gas supply to the Main Burner Pan and the Pilot Burner, move the Control Knob clockwise
from the Pilot Position to the "OFF" Position (Figure 19).
NOTE: The Control Knob will need to be depressed slightly in order to move it from the Pilot Position to the '
"OFF" Position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Pilot noise Excess pressure • Check line pressure and adjust to 7 inch water
column.
2. Pilot will not light Inadequate gas flow
Thermocouple too tight
• Check all valves
• Clear obstructions
• Check for line kinks
• Loosen Thermocouple slightly
3. Pilot & Burner go out after
burning for several minutes
(up to one hour)
Overheating of Thermo-
couple
• Check to see that Main Burner Flames are not
hitting the Thermocouple (move Pilot Assembly
so only the tips of the Thermocouple and pilot are
handing over the burner pan).
• Reposition logs, if that is the cause, move Main
Burner flames away from the Thermocouple.
• If you have glass doors, open them fully when
operating your gas logs.
