Упутство за употребу

The Robertshaw 720-079 Gas Valve operates in conjunction with your appliance's ignition system. The manual selector on top of the control allows for specific operational modes.

1. Прво покретање: Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions for initial startup. This typically involves purging air from the gas lines and initiating the ignition sequence.
2. Manual Selector: The manual selector allows you to turn the gas supply to the main burner ON or OFF, and to the PILOT. Ensure the selector is in the correct position for desired operation (e.g., PILOT for lighting the pilot, ON for normal operation).
3. Pilot Lighting: If your system uses a standing pilot, follow the appliance's instructions for lighting the pilot. The valve's pilot valve controls gas flow to the pilot burner.
4. Аутоматски рад: Once the pilot is established (if applicable) and the manual selector is in the ON position, the dual automatic valves will open and close based on the thermostat's call for heat.

• Годишња инспекција: Have a qualified service technician inspect the gas valve and entire heating system annually. This includes checking for proper gas pressure, leak integrity, and overall operational safety.
• Чишћење: Keep the exterior of the valve clean and free from dust or debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Нема делова које корисник може сервисирати: The Robertshaw 720-079 Gas Valve contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the valve.

Решавање проблема

If you experience issues with your heating system, consult your appliance's instruction manual first. For problems specifically related to the gas valve, consider the following:

• Нема протока гаса:
  • Ensure the main gas supply to the appliance is open.
  • Check that the manual selector on the gas valve is in the correct position (e.g., ON or PILOT).
  • Verify that other gas appliances in the home are functioning, indicating a general gas supply.
• Pilot Light Not Lighting/Staying Lit:
  • Follow the appliance's pilot lighting procedure carefully.
  • Check for drafts that might be extinguishing the pilot.
  • Ensure the pilot orifice is clean and not obstructed.
• Main Burner Not Igniting:
  • Confirm the pilot light is lit and strong (if applicable).
  • Check the thermostat setting and ensure it is calling for heat.
  • Listen for the igniter spark or glow. If no ignition, the issue may be with the igniter or control board, not necessarily the gas valve itself.
• Мирис гаса:
  • ОДМАХ turn off the main gas supply.
  • Отворите прозоре и врата за вентилацију.
  • Do not operate electrical switches or phones.
  • Evacuate the premises and call your gas supplier or fire department from a safe location.
