Function
Three electrodes are fitted on the burner. Two of
them are the ignition electrodes and are fitted
near the front part of the burner. The ignition
sparks take place between their metallic edges
over the central ramp of the burner during the
ignition sequence.
The third electrode is the detection electrode and
it detects the presence of the flame.
