TROUBLE SHOOTING
Pilot burner will not stay lit. This could be caused by one (or more) of three problems:
1. Loose connection at thermocouple to the safety control.
2. Worn out thermocouple.
3. Worn out safety control.
To remedy the problem, first check to see if the thermocouple is snug in the saftey control.
1. Check all safeties.
2. Using a 3/8” wrench, insure the thermocouple is snug in the body of the saftey control. A
good rule is 1/4 after finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as it will damage the control.
3. Light the pilot burner. If the pilot burner stays lit, then the problem was a loose conncetion at the
thermocouple.
The thermocouple is snug but the pilot burner will not stay lit.
Thermocouples require replacement as often as three months due to the extremely high temperatures in
the combustion chamber of the MBR. To change a themocouple, wait for the unit to cool. Then:
1. Using a 3/8” wrench, remove the thermocouple from the control.
2. Using a 7/16” wrench, remove and replace the thermcouple from the pilot burner bracket. When installing
the new thermocouple be sure to thread the adjusting nut up to the top of its travel.
3. After the thermocouple is installed at the pilot burner, thread the brass fitting into the safety body. It should
be snug, but not too tight. A good rule is 1/4 after finger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as it will damage
the control. Light pilot.
