Installation Instructions
- Turn off power and gas supply to the heater before performing any service.
- Remove the access panel and note the routing of the original pilot tube.

- Restore gas and power, and run the heater through a start sequence to confirm proper ignition and stable pilot flame.
Troubleshooting
- No pilot flame or loss of ignition: Check that the pilot tube is connected correctly, free of kinks, and that gas supply is present.
- Pilot flame unstable or yellow: Ensure the tube is properly routed away from excessive heat, inspect for damage or blockage, and verify gas pressure.
- Gas smell around heater: Shut off the unit immediately, inspect all connections and fittings, and confirm proper leak-proof installation of the pilot tube.
