Infrared Igniter
The unit uses a spark igniter to create ignition of
the burners. When the ignition switch is depressed,
the ignition module sends power to the igniter, and
ignites the gas supplied by the surface valve.
To access the igniter:
1.
Remove two screws securing igniter cover,
remove igniter cover.
2. Remove securing screw and igniter from
bracket, pull igniter into burner box and
disconnect wire from igniter.
3. Reverse procedure to reassemble.
If the igniter fails to spark, first do a resistance
check on the igniter. If the igniter shows 0
1
, check
ignition module, wiring, and battery. If power is
supplied to the igniter and no spark, replace the
igniter.
