1. Shut off the gas supply to the heater and disconnect
the heater from its power supply.
2. Open the burner end access panel.

female connectors located at the end of igniter leads
and loosen the screw securing the igniter shield (if
applicable) and igniter to mounting bracket.
4. Remove the igniter and the igniter shield (if
applicable) from its mounting bracket.
5. Connect the replacement igniter to its power supply
wiring.
