Replacing Burner
, page 15.
2. Remove ignitor bracket screw and lift
ignitor.
3. Attach new ignitor with ignitor mounting
screw removed in step 2.
4. Install new ignitor. Ignitor gap between

Replacing Gas Orifice
1. Hold burner flange and rotate orifice
counterclockwise to remove.
2. Install new orifice
IMPORTANT: CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Test
all gas piping and connections for leaks after
installation or servicing. Never use an open
flame to check for a leak. Apply a noncorrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints (available at lo
-
cal plumbing supply stores). Bubbles forming
show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
