How It Works
Start-Up:
When activated via switch or remote, the system performs safety checks before releasing pilot gas. After 5 seconds, the Hot Surface Igniter glows and ignites the pilot flame. Once confirmed, the main burner gas flows and ignites automatically.
Operation:
While burning, the system monitors flame presence, temperature, and voltage. If the flame is lost, the system shuts off gas flow and restarts automatically.
Shut Down:
Turn off easily using a wall switch, remote, or smart control system.
