TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Start the system by setting the thermostat or
temperature control to call for heat. Observe the system
response and establish the type of malfunction or
deviation from normal operation by using the
Troubleshooting Guide, see Fig. 9. After any
maintenance or repair, the troubleshooting sequence
should be repeated until normal system operation is
obtained.
NOTE: When the appliance is in the lightoff mode,
ignition spark and the gas control are
energized only during the trial for ignition,
which can last from four to 21 seconds,
depending on the S8700 model. It will be
necessary to recycle the call for heat to the
control while performing this troubleshooting
procedure.
