4) Flame Switch:

In the pilot ignition systems, a flame switch is used to detect that the pilot is lit instead of a safety valve on the pilot ignition system. In this system, the pilot flame must heat the flame switch sensor bulb's tip to a red color.

A proper working flame switch 00-411496-000H1 is safe for any Ignition system.

If the flame switch detects the required heat on its sensor bulb at the pilot, it will be closed as an electrical contact in its base. Otherwise, the flame switch's electrical contacts will remain open to prevent power from the gas stove which in turn would prevent gas from flowing to the burner.

a) Important Instructions Regarding Flame Sensor:

• Don't install the flame switch in all circumstances.
• Disconnect the power supply before installing the flame switch to prevent electrical shocks and damages.
• Do not overload the terminal rating.
• Don't bundle the lead wires for the flame detector, mains and ignition transformer's high voltage.
• Use proper groundwork.

5) Valve (Safety Valve):

A safety valve is designed to open and relieve excess pressure from equipment and to close and prevent the further fluid release after the normal condition has been restored. This safety valve can operate under all circumstances and at all times. It should be operated in gas stoves for overpressure protection.

4. Connect a wire from the fused line to the toggle switch center terminal by using a scotch lock connector.
5. Connections to the switch should be with insulated solderless connectors.

7) Thermocouple:

A thermocouple is a sensor that measures the temperature. It is placed near the pilot light burner. If the electric igniter fails or pilot light goes out, the thermocouple shuts off the gas. If the pilot light won't stay lit, the thermocouple may be damaged and it should be adjusted or replaced. You have to tighten the nut with a wrench to adjust the thermocouple.
