WARNING
1. Remove burner compartment door to gain access to the
ignitor.
2. Ignitor cool - approximately 70 - 77°F.
3. Disconnect the ignitor from the Ignition Control.
4. Using an ohmmeter measure the resistance of the ignitor:
-at room temperature a normal reading will be 37 - 68
ohms.
5. Reconnect ignitor.

6. Place unit in heating cycle, measure current draw of ignitor
during preheat cycle.

Flashback will also cause burning in the burner venturi, but is
caused by the burning speed being greater than the gas-air
ow velocity coming from a burner port.
Flashback may occur at the moment of ignition, after a burner
heats up or when the burner turns o󰀨. The latter is known as
extinction pop.
Since the end results of ashback and delayed ignition can
be the same (burning in the burner venturi) a denite attempt
should be made to determine which has occurred.
If ashback should occur, check for the following:
1. Improper gas pressure - adjust to proper pressure (See
S-307 CHECKING GAS PRESSURE)..
2. Check burner for proper alignment and/or replace burner.
3. Improper orice size - check orice for obstruction.

The pressure control is a safety device to prevent the
combustion cycle from occurring with inadequate venting
caused by a restricted or blocked vent pipe.

1. Remove burner compartment door to gain access to
pressure switch(es).
2. Remove wires from the pressure switch(es) electrical
terminals.
3. Remove the pressure control hose from the control and
interconnect with an inclined manometer as shown in the
following gures.
With a call for heat and the inducer running, check across the
pressure switch contacts with an ohm meter. If the contacts
are not closed, compare the negative reading on the inclined
manometer with the rating on the pressure switch to determine
whether the switch is defective or if the negative pressure is
inadequate to close the switch.

A high altitude kit is required for installationsabove 7,000 ft.
Refer to the accessory matrix in this manual to determine
the proper natural gas and LP gas high altitude kit for your
furnace.
