Igniters use virtually no energy to speak of.
Such an appliance would not trigger any electrical issues -- in a direct sense.
The issue is what are the consequences if the breaker trips because of another receptacle load on the same circuit?
Is the device going to be venting unlit gas into a confined space?
Its issues should trigger concern beyond 'Division 16.'
Anything could cause a power outage to the unit regardless of where it is plugged in and it will not create a hazard, if there is no power for ignition the gas valve will not open.
A dedicated circuit is not required per the instructions.
My question is, what prohibits the unit from plugging into the laundry circuit? I don't think anything does, but I wanted confirmation.
