To assure consistent ignition of the burner, it is important for the electrode to be positioned properly over the top of the
burner. When replacing the electrode, or should you be experiencing ignition type problems, the electrode should be
positioned as outlined in the drawing.
1.
Remove the furnace chamber assembly from the furnace cabinet following instructions listed in the installation
manual.
2.
Remove the burner access door. Manifold assembly will have to be removed at the valve. Remove the burner from
the combustion chamber by removing six (6) screws which attach the burner to the chamber and air baffles (plates).
Remove top air baffle and clip.
3.
Locate the lance in relation to the burner ports for electrode positioning by:
a. Shine a flashlight into the burner venturi as illustrated (be sure the flashlight lens is against the end of the
burner).
b. Light will reflect off the lance in the venturi of the burner and shine through a position of the two (2) rows of burner
ports in the top of the burner.
c. using a black felt-tip pen, mark a line along top of burner 3/16” from back of lance and parallel with lance. Make
an additional mark indication center line of the lance. (See illustration). Both marks will be used later as reference
marks; therefore, keep lines thin.
4.
Reassemble the burner into the chamber. Be sure the air baffles (plates) are positioned as removed. Mount center
clip in place.
5.
Adjust electrode so the electrode probe is positioned along the
marked
center line of the
burner lance
and the tip of
the electrode terminates 3/16” from the back of the lance (at the line marked in Step 3C). (See illustration).
6.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure electrode probe maintains a 1/8” spark gap over the burner as illustrated.
7.
Reinstall burner access door and reconnect manifold. Manifold must be checked for leaks with unit operating, before
installing in cabinet. Reinstall furnace into the cabinet following the instructions in the installation manual. Check all
gas connections for leaks using proper leak test solution.
