allows heater operation in either HEAT or VENT (no
heat) modes. See Fig. 15.

Heat Mode Operation

a. Open all manual fuel supply valves. Check for gas

leaks using an approved leak detector. The gas

-- The fan motor will start
-- Igniter will spark
-- Ignition occurs

d. The thermostat cycles the heater on and off based

on set point.

(It is normal for air to be trapped in the gas hose on
new installations. The heater may attempt more than
one trial for ignition before air is finally purged from
line and ignition takes place.)

FIG. 13

When the switch is set to HEAT, four status lights (See
Fig. 13) will be activated in sequence as specific
circuits within the heater are checked by the ignition
control. If the heater does not light and a status light
is off, refer to the troubleshooting label on the inside
of the heater’s burner end access door or the
troubleshooting section in this manual.

B. Vent Mode Operation

-- Push the selector switch to OFF, then to VENT.
-- Only the fan motor will operate. The igniter will

not spark,nor will ignition occur.

The VENT feature is used when air circulation is
required. The heater will not cycle on its thermostat
setting. To discontinue ventilation, position the switch
to OFF or HEAT.
