MAINTENANCE
To inspect/replace the Ignitor
1. Put the green ON/OFF button on the control
panel, to the OFF position and disconnect
AC power to the unit. Disconnect the plastic
tubing from the condensate cup to drain and
remove the rear cover panels from the unit.
Access to the spark ignitor may also be
gained by removing the unit's right side
panel
2. Disconnect the ignitor cable from the ignitor
contactor and unscrew the ignitor contactor
from the burner shell.
3. Insert the ignitor removal tool into the burner
shell, where the ignitor contactor was
removed. Screw the outer barrel of the tool
into the burner shell. Push the inner barrel
up and fit the hexagonal end of the tool over
the ignitor. Unscrew the ignitor from the
burner head and then the tool from the
burner shell.
4. The ignitor is gapped at 1/8-inch. If there is
substantial erosion of the spark gap or
ground electrode, the ignitor should be
replaced. If carbon build-up is present, clean
the ignitor using fine emery cloth. Repeated
carbon build-up on the ignitor is an indication
that a check of the combustion settings is
required, (see Sections 4.2 and 4.3 for
Combustion Calibration)
