FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
The 36E93-304 combination gas valve is designed for
intermittent ignition system applications. The valve is
equipped with a redundant solenoid valve that controls
gas flow to the pilot and main burners, a main valve that
controls gas flow to the main burner, a pressure regulator
to maintain a constant outlet pressure, and a two-position
gas cock knob for manual gas shut-off.

INSTALLATION
PILOT GAS CONNECTION
1. Turn off electrical power to the system at the fuse box
or circuit breaker. Also turn off the main gas supply.
2. If replacing an existing valve, disconnect all plumbing
and electrical connections from the old control.
Thesevalvesareshippedwiththepilotoutletplugged.For
installations requiring pilot gas, remove the plug and use
the fitting packed separately with the control.
3. The control may be installed in any position, except
upsidedown. Thearrowonthebottomplateindicates
the direction of gas flow through the valve.
Install the fitting into the pilot gas tapping, turning until
finger-tight (see fig. 2). Insert clean, deburred tubing all
the way through the fitting. Hold the tubing securely in
place and slowly tighten the fitting until you feel a slight
“give”. Then tighten the fitting an additional 11⁄2 turns.
4. You should use new pipe that is properly chamfered,
reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If you are using
old pipe, be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale,
burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.
SeeADJUSTMENTsection(page5)andfig.6forpilotset
up.
5. Apply pipe joint compound (pipe dope) or teflon tape
that is approved for all gases, only to the male
threads of the pipe joints. DO NOT apply com-
pound or teflon tape to the first two threads (see fig. 3
for typical piping connections).
6. If you are using a vise or open-end wrench to hold the
valve while installing piping, do not tighten exces-
sively, as this may damage the valve.

ADJUSTMENT
MANUAL VALVE KNOB
The manual valve knob is a two-position (ON-OFF) type.
To turn manual valve on, rotate knob clockwise or coun-
terclockwise to line up the word ON on the knob with the
indicator on the cover casting (see fig. 5). To turn manual
valve off, rotate knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
line up the word OFF on the knob with the indicator on the
cover casting.

ADJUSTMENT
These controls are factory preset to provide proper pilot
gas flow for most applications. If additional adjustment is
necessary, follow these steps.
These controls are shipped from the factory with the
regulator set for 3.5” W.C. (natural gas, full flow). Consult
the appliance rating plate to ensure burner manifold
pressure should be 3.5” W.C. If another outlet pressure is
required, follow these steps.
1. Turn off all electrical power to the system before
making any adjustments.
2. Remove the pilot adjust cover screw and gasket to
expose the adjusting screw (see fig. 6). Turn the
adjusting screw clockwise to reduce pilot flame, or
counterclockwise to increase pilot flame.
If a valve has been factory-adjusted for the 2.5 to 5 inches
W.C. range, itcannotbefield-adjustedoutsidethatrange.
This is also true for valves adjusted to the 7.5 to 12 inches
W.C. range for LP gas.
3. Replace the gasket and pilot adjust cover screw and
tighten securely.
1. Turn off all electrical power to the system.
4. Restore power to the system.
2. Attach a manometer to the outlet pressure tap of the
valve.

3. Turn on system power and energize valve.
4. Remove regulator cover screw and turn regulator
adjust screw clockwise to increase pressure, or
counterclockwisetodecreasepressure(seefig. 6).
Always adjust regulator to provide the correct pres-
sure according to the original equipment
manufacturer’s specifications listed on the appliance
rating plate.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
!
WARNING
A. This appliance is equipped with an intermittent ignition
device which automatically lights the appliance. Do not try
to light the pilot by hand.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don’t try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
“WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS”
• Do not try to light any appliance.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
