7. Check resistance of ignitor at room temperature (77ºF)

(25°C) at the plug end. Replace ignitor if resistance is

not within 11.5 and 18.8 ohms at room temperature.

8. Ensure correct size of vent pipe (2”, 3”, 4”) was used per

installation manual for vent length. Using larger pipe than required

may cause excessive air turbulance in combustion chamber.
