STEP
Check connections and retry. If current is near typical value
(4.0 to 6.0 microamps) and main burners will not stay on
longer than a few seconds, check the following:
- Air leakage around igniter bracket.
- Inadequate flame carryover on rough ignition.
31
- Low manifold pressure. Reference installation instructions
- Slow opening gas valve. Gas should flow at full pressure
within 4 seconds after the gas valve is energized.
If the above items are OK replace the variable speed fur-
