Measuring Flame Current

When the burner flame is properly adjusted, it will produce a current between 3.5 μA and 6.5 μA.
Flame current is measured by placing a microamp (not milliamp) meter in series with the white sens-
ing wire on the ignitor. This is accomplished as follows:
1. Turn the unit OFF (press the
2. Disconnect the white flame sensor wire
