FLAME FAILURE
If your heater has experienced a FLAME FAILURE, push the react button on the programmer
and operate the burner from a normal start position to determine the cause of the problem. A
FLAME FAILURE indication can be caused by either of the following conditions:
-
the flame failed to ignite during the ignition cycle.
-
the flame ignited during the ignition cycle but the Flame Safeguard System failed
to detect the flame. SECTION 6.1; OPERATION PROGRAMMER contains a
procedure for determining which component is failing.
You call determine whether or not you have a flame during ignition by shading your eye and
looking through the peephole on tile burner during the ignition (cycle). You must. shade your eye
well to see the gas pilot flame. If you can see a flame. then the problem is probably with the
Flame Safeguard System.
