5. Ensure the hot surface ignitor is positioned to provide
consistent ignition.
6. Check for any cracks in ignitor assembly ceramic
insulators - replace ignitor assembly if damaged.
7. Check resistance of ignitor at room temperature (77ºF)
(25°C) at the plug end. Replace ignitor if resistance is
not within 11.5 and 18.8 ohms at room temperature.
8. Ensure the correct size of vent pipe (2”, 3”, 4”) was
used per installation manual for vent length. Using larger
pipe than required may cause excessive air turbulance
in the combustion chamber.
