Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas appliance technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer's service instructions. Shut off the gas supply and allow all components to cool completely before disassembling the pilot assembly. Inspect the thermocouple and gas valve connections during service, as these components interact directly with the pilot assembly.
