The R7611 pilot assembly works by first igniting the pilot burner tri-directional hood. The thermocouple then generates a voltage that opens the gas valve safety circuit, allowing the pilot to stay on, This allows for the pilot control knob to be turned to the on position of the gas valve. After 3 minutes of the pilot running, the thermopile generates enough voltage to power the gas valve primary circuit, allowing gas to flow into the main burner and ignite the appliance.
