“SE-UP1” INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D) 3.) Install the Latching Solenoid into the threaded hole on the “EASY Safety Valve” where the valve plug or HI/LO DC Motor Drive was removed from (photo at left), and using a flathead screwdriver, screw into place tightening clockwise. Do not over tighten as stripped threads may lead to gas leaks.

4.) Reinstall the heat shield with both bolt screws and tighten.

Latching Solenoid (STV-LS)

IMPORTANT: Receiver wires are connected to the “EASY” Safety Valve, Latching Solenoid and Remote Receiver by the factory. All are adversely affected by heat, and must be placed as far forward and to the side of the burner pan as possible. Insure that the plastic heat shield is located over the Remote Receiver below left, then locate the Receiver in an area that will not exceed 130°F. This location will always be away from the “EASY” Safety Valve and as far forward of the of the firebox as possible (see photo at right).
