before re-operating.

Two Fusible Links:

Backs up the overheat switch. If a fusible link cuts the gas off, a service call is required to repair the

appliance replace the link.

Flame Failure Device:

If the flame goes out during operation this device cuts the unit off (lockout). To reset, turn the unit ‘OFF’,

then ‘ON’ again. If this happens repeatedly a service call is required.
