Observe burner operation throughthe sight glass located on the combustion insert mounting flange. Normal burner
operation should ignite smoothly, without evidence of coughingor huffing upon ignition. The burner flame should be a blue
flame near the burner surface in a uniform flame pattern. Occasional yellow or white streaks are normal.

Remove high voltage wire connected at the
spark rod and hold approximately ¼" from metal
ground with insulated pliers during the ignition
cycle (3 second spark trial period).
Is there spark to ground?

Check resistance of high voltage
cable. Resistance should be 0-1 ohms.
If resistance is high, replace spark
cable. If spark cable is good, replace
