1. Remove regulator cover screw from the low (LO) outlet
pressure regulator adjust tower and turn screw clockwise
to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. Replace regulator cover screw.
a. Close thermostat “R” and “W” contacts to provide a call
for heat.
b. Remove regulator cover screw from the high (HI)
outlet pressure regulator adjust tower and turn screw
clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. Replace regulator cover screw.

nitride igniter for ignition. The normal operating temperature
is approximately 2156°F - 2678°F. At room temperature the
ignitor ohm reading should be from 37-68 ohms.
7. Place unit in heating cycle, measure current draw of ignitor
during preheat cycle.
The steady state current at 120V is 0.37 to 0.68 amps.
8. After checking and/or replacing of hot surface ignitor,
reinstall burner compartment door and verify proper unit
operation.

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. In addition to
the inducer pressure switch, this furnace has a “front cover
pressure switch” wired in series with the gas valve. This
