6.2 IGNITER-INJECTOR
The igniter-injector is located on the flange of the blower-side intake manifold, at the bottom of the
unit’s heat exchanger. The igniter-injector (Kit P/N 58023) is the same for Natural Gas and
Propane units. Figure 6-1 shows the blower-side intake manifold (removed from the heater)
showing the location of the igniter-injector, flame detector and gasket (Kit P/N 24356-2) and
related components.
The igniter-injector may be hot, therefore, care should be exercised to avoid burns. It is easier to
remove the igniter-injector from the unit after the unit has cooled to room temperature.

Inspection/Replacement
1.
Set the
ON/OFF
switch on the control panel, to the
OFF
position. Disconnect AC power
from the unit.
2.
Remove the side and rear panels from the unit.
3.
Disconnect the ignition cable and ground wire from the igniter-injector.
4.
Refer to Figure 6-1. Disconnect the compression nut securing the gas injector tube of the
igniter-injector to the elbow of the ignition assembly. Disconnect the ignition assembly from
the igniter-injector.
5.
Loosen and remove the igniter-injector from the burner plate.
6.
Check the igniter-injector for evidence of erosion or carbon build-up. If there is evidence of
substantial erosion or carbon build-up, the igniter-injector should be replaced. If carbon
build-up is present, clean the component using fine emery cloth. Repeated carbon build-up
is an indication that the combustion settings of the unit should be checked. Refer to Chapter
4 for combustion calibration procedures.
