Warranty
• Flame rod detects flame failure; results in auto shutdown to prevent escape
of gas
• Bi-metal switch, thermal fuse, and thermistor detect overheat condition;
results in auto shutdown

• Abnormal spark at time of ignition results in auto shutdown
• Combustion fan purges any gas from the combustion chamber before
ignition
• Convection fan continues to run after burner shutdown to cool internal parts
• Function lock prevents inadvertent operation
• Appliance shuts down if room reaches 104° F (40° C)
