Gas control apparatus to regulate the flow of gas to a plurality of burners is disclosed. The apparatus permits a main gas solenoid valve to be actuated for a pre-determined period of time allowing the burners to be ignited. If the burners are not ignited within the pre-determined period of time, the main gas solenoid valve is deactuated. Even though a main gas solenoid valve is utilized each burner, can be separately ignited by means of a start signal applied thereto. After ignition, the main gas solenoid valve will remain actuated only if a flame is present at the ignited burner and a start signal is applied to the remaining burners.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 14, 1990 and granted September 10, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 14, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 14, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
