1. Close the fuel supply valves to the heater and

disconnect the heater from its electrical supply.

2. The igniter and sensor assembly is located within a

metal enclosure mounted to the heat chamber above

the burner.

3. The igniter/sensor with its enclosure can be removed

in its entirety. Remove the screw that secures this

assembly to the heat chamber and disconnect the

respective leads from the ignition control. Lift the

assembly from its mounting slots. See Fig. 13.

4. To reassemble, reverse these procedures.

5. Reconnect the heater to its electrical supply. Open

the fuel supply valves to the heater.

6. Start the heater and test for proper operation.

IMPORTANT

The igniter/sensor assembly may require cleaning due

to accumulations of dust and dirt over a period of time,

thereby affecting its ability to ignite fuel gas and sense

burner flame. Cleaning will require igniter/sensor

removal.

-- If spark appears to be weak, briskly rub the igniter

electrode with emery cloth or steel wool to remove

any buildup. Recycle the heater.

--- If the spark appears strong but the heater cycles off,

briskly rub the sensor rod with emery cloth or steel

wool to remove any build-up. Recycle the heater.

Make sure that the igniter gap is 1/8 In. and the igniter

tip is positioned over the burner port according to the

illustration below. See Fig. 13.
