I have the same water heater and noticed the same thing. I had drained the Monte down to get ready for some cold weather last November that was coming (Austin TX cold weather...way down around 29*...bone chillin cold!!!). The heater kept trying to light even though it was off at the panel and gas was off. Called suburban. That is the freeze protection that is built into the unit. It is supposed to do that! Nothing is wrong!
