CQ8000A UNIVERSAL HOT SURFACE IGNITER KIT

69-2460EFS—03

2

NOTE: If there is an orange rubber gasket on the original

metal bracket, carefully remove the gasket from the

original bracket and use it with the CQ8000A bracket

E to support the replacement.

Select the proper CQ8000A bracket

1. Use the cross-reference table to determine which igniter

models are recommended for replacement. See Table 1

on page 4.

2. Using the bracket selection templates (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2),

the cross-reference (Table 1), and the original igniter

assembly, place the igniter on the templates to confirm

which bracket to use for this installation.

NOTES:

1.

Each of the six brackets has a letter stamped on it

(A through E) for easy identification.

2.

If bracket A is selected, use pliers to remove

either Tab 1 or Tab 2 at the score line per the

bracket template directions.

3.

If bracket E is selected, ensure that the original

orange gasket (if present) is reused.

3. Install the Universal igniter into the selected bracket using

the provided thread forming screw.

NOTE: In some appliance applications, installation may be

easier if the bracket is installed in the appliance first,

then the igniter added to the bracket. As the thread

forming screw for the bracket takes some force for ini-

tial tightening, start the screw in the bracket to set the

threads, remove the screw, attach the bracket to the

appliance using the original screw(s), and then attach

the igniter and its thread forming screw to the bracket.

Install the replacement igniter

1. Carefully position the replacement igniter and bracket

assembly into the appliance. Position the assembly so

the existing mounting screw holes align with the mount-

ing holes or slots in the replacement assembly.

2. Secure the replacement igniter bracket with the original

igniter screws. The CQ8000A brackets are designed with

the capability to make minor adjustments in the igniter

location. Use care to adjust the igniter hot spot to a posi-

tion where it will light reliably.

NOTE: In some applications, a shorter screw may simplify

installation.

3. Orient the replacement igniter the same way as the origi-

nal igniter was positioned and secure it. Be sure the igniter

portion does not touch the appliance or burners.

4. Carefully route the replacement igniter lead wires away

from the burner flame and any moving parts on the com-

bustion air blower in the appliance.

5. Locate the appliance igniter wiring harness. Clip off the

connector and strip both wires to 1/4 in. (6 mm).

6. Use the provided wire nuts to attach the igniter lead wires

to the appliance wiring harness. The igniter lead wires can

be cut shorter if desired. Strip them to 1/4 in. (6 mm) prior

to attaching to the appliance wire harness.

Check out the installation

1. Recheck location of the igniter bracket assembly and

lead wires to assure there is no interference and that

the lead wires will not be exposed to excessive heat or

moving parts when the appliance is firing.

2. Recheck the line voltage connections between the igniter

harness and the appliance wiring harness to be sure they

are secure. Assure that no bare wire is exposed at this

connection.

3. Turn the electrical power supply on, but leave the gas

supply off, and initiate a light off (call for heat) cycle.

Observe the hot surface igniter during the sequence to

confirm it gets hot and that there is sufficient clearance

between the igniter and other appliance parts. Also

confirm that the lead wire routing does not interfere with

appliance operation.

4. Remove the call for heat signal.
5. Turn the gas supply on.
6. Initiate a call for heat. Observe the light off sequence and

confirm that the appliance lights properly and stays lit once

the actual gas flow starts.

7. If the appliance lights and the main flame stays stable,

remove the call for heat and allow the shut down

sequence to be completed. Repeat step 6 two more times

to assure the light off of the appliance is reliable.

8. If the appliance does not light properly, it may be neces-

sary to adjust the location of the hot surface igniter. Each

CQ8000A bracket is designed to allow some adjustment of

the igniter location in the appliance. Turn the gas supply off

then loosen the mounting screw(s) and make adjustments.

Retighten the screw(s) and repeat from step 5. It may be

necessary to repeat this process a few times in order to

determine a position where the igniter will light reliably.
