Set Appliance State:

Gas Off
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Disconnect the Main PCB Connector PL5 from the PCB

Measurement:

Measure the resistance between the two Orange wires on the HW Potentiometer.
With the Potentiometer turned down to position 1, a reading of approximately 10 K ohms should be obtained.
As the Potentiometer setting is increased the resistance should reduce.
A reading of approximately 1 ohm should be obtained once the Potentiometer is increased to its maximum setting of 8.
Replace connector after test.
