To determine whether your appliance is an electronic
ignition or a standing pilot ignition, open the control
access panel to examine the wiring system. If your
system has a red push button (as shown in Figure 26),
you own a standing pilot ignition appliance. If no red
button is present, you own an electronic ignition
appliance.
You may also check the rating label located on the
inside of the control access panel to determine
ignition type.
