How It Works
Start-Up:
Activated via wall switch or remote, the system conducts a safety check before releasing pilot gas. After 5 seconds, the Hot Surface Igniter glows to light the pilot flame. Once confirmed, the main burner gas flow begins and ignites automatically.
Operation:
The system continuously monitors flame presence and internal temperatures. If the flame goes out, it shuts off gas flow and restarts automatically.
Shut Down:
Turn off simply using a wall switch, remote, or home automation system.
