GE 30 GAL GAS WATER HEATER WITH SMARTSHIELD SENSOR.

I've just finished installing a GE 30 gal gas water heater with smart shield sensor. After following the pilot lighting instructions, the pilot comes on and stays on, but once the control is moved to the on position and the gas valve is moved from the vacation mode the burner comes on momentarily before it flames out. One note is that the glass window that should be in front to visually see if pilot is on is missing.

thank you.
