on back side of igniter is resting on the edge of the
mounting bracket and the mounting hole in the

shield aligns with hole in igniter and bracket.

Handle the igniter by its ceramic base, or by its leads.

making sure the shield does not touch the igniter
element, otherwise igniter damage will occur when the
igniter is energized..
