5 AUTOMA TIC GAS SHUT OFF CONTROL The automatic gas shutoff control, fig. 1, is an automatic safety device which activates at a water temperature of approximately 195 0 F (90.5°C). This limits the water outlet temperature to a maximum of 200 0 F (87.7°C). The device is wired in series with the gas valve. The control will automatically reset when [...]

6 4. Discontinues ignition spark when the pilot flame is established. The S-8600 control used on propane gas models provides safety lockout if the pilot fails to ignite within the pilot flame establishing period. The S-8600 control used on natural gas models continues trial for ignition until pilot flame is established. 5. After proof-of-pilot flam[...]

7 CAUTION Any part of the paddle must not touch the pipe or any restrictions in the pipe. Screw the flow switch in position so the flat of the paddle is at right angles to the flow .
