This pre-purge is a safety feature and a normaloperational characteristic prior to ignition takingplace. After five (5) seconds, the igniter will spark.6. The ignition control will make up to three trials forignition. Each trial for ignition will take approxi-mately ten seconds. If the main burner does notlight, the system will lock out, and a three flashpattern will be given by the red LED.NOTE: It is normal for air to be trapped in the gashose on new installations. The heater may try morethan once for ignition before the air is finally purgedfrom the line and ignition takes place.FIG. 14
