Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning resemble the u, with headaches, dizzi-
ness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the system may
not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have the system serviced. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the inuence of alcohol,
and those at high altitudes.
Natural Gas: Natural gas is odorless. An odor making
agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep
this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and prop-
er operation of this appliance.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation of replace media and
glass panels:
This replace burner requires a layer of 1/4”
glass media to cover the burner tube, allowing
proper dissipation of the gas ow and prop-
agation of the ame. This should be spread
evenly across and completely covering the
burner located inside of the square burner tray.
Carefully place the glass media over the top of
the burner and mesh media tray located inside
of the square burner tray, allowing glass to ll
void alongside tube and to cover over the top
of the tube with approximately 1/4” of the 1/4”
glass media.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: I installed the Electronic Ignition System, turned it on and nothing happened.
A: When this occurs it is usually due to an electrical wiring/power issue. Check all your electrical con-
nections thoroughly to ensure all wires at the transformer and inside the re feature are connected prop-
erly. If it appears all wiring is connected properly, disconnect the wires at the re feature, attach a Multi-
meter to the wires to conrm a minimum of 24 volts when the re feature is turned on. If you determine
that you do not have a minimum of 24 volts at the re feature conduct the same test at the transformer
to ensure the transformer is in fact producing a minimum of 24 volts. If you do have a minimum of 24
volts at the re feature contact Acucraft for further assistance: 763-263-3156.
Q: I installed the Electronic Ignition System, turned it on and I can see the glow plug glowing
orange and I can hear gas owing but it will not ignite.
A: There are two possible causes to this problem: Air in the Gas Line or not enough Electrical Current to
the re feature.
Air in the Gas Line. If a new gas line was installed and the air was never purged from it prior to install-
ing the Electronic Ignition System then it may take several times of turning the re feature on and off be-
fore the air is purged from the gas line. Here is how our system works: after you turn it on the glow plug
will come on rst followed by the Pilot Gas Valve opening 4 seconds later. For the next 180 seconds (3
minutes) the glow plug will cycle on and off every 30 seconds while the Pilot Gas Valve will remain on
the entire time. Therefore if you are attempting to purge air from the gas line, turn the system on and
leave it on for approximately 3 minutes. Usually when purging air from a new gas line you will need to
cycle the power several times as described above before gas begins to ow. If at any point you smell
gas but still don’t have ignition, attempt to light the Pilot ame with a handheld lighter. If the ame ignites
when you light it by hand, go to the section below: “Electrical Current.”
Electrical Current. If you have determined that air in the gas line is not the problem then most likely
the failure to ignite is due to the fact that the glow plug is not getting hot enough to ignite the gas. The
reason a glow plug will not get hot enough is due to the fact that it is not getting enough ‘amps.’ Often
times when troubleshooting electricians will check the electrical power and when they see they have a
minimum of 24 volts they think everything is ne electrically so there must be a problem with the Elec-
tronig Ignition System. The problem is not due to the volts but rather the amps. The number of amps
reaching the re feature is heavily dependent on the gauge wire used between the transformer and the
re feature. Our Install Instructions require no less than 12 gauge wire be run for all re features. Often
times we learn that in many cases less than 12 gauge wire has been used and herin lies the cause of
the problem. (Continued on next page)

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. CAUTION. Turn off the gas supply prior to the next step.
2. Using a clamp on the ammeter, clamp the ammeter around one of the wires providing power to the
Electronic Ignition System.
3. Turn the re feature on.
4. The amps you should see will range between 1.4 to 1.6 amps initially. Four seconds after being
turned on the amps will jump to approximately 2.0 amps.
If you do not see the amps listed above AND the wire gauge used was less than 12 gauge wire - change
the wiring. Otherwise contact Acucraft for further assistance: 763-263-3156.
