ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor control determines, in the course of initiating a heating cycle, whether the blower is operating in the continuous mode, and if it is, the control prompts the blower to be turned off prior to the ignitor being turned on. In this way, the blower and ignitor are never on at the same time and the instantaneous total current draw is limited to thereby reduce the occurrence of burned out fuses or circuit breaker trips.
