8. Turn ON the electrical supply to the furnace and wait 1 
minute. (See Fig. 13.)
9. Open the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 14.)
10. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly 
above the room temperature. This will automatically 
signal the furnace to start. 
11. When the furnace receives the start signal, the inducer is 
started. When the pressure switch senses that there is suf-
ficient combustion air, the hot surface igniter is energized. 
After the hot surface igniter is heated for 17 seconds, the 
gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After 
ignition and a time delay of approximately 60 sec, the fur-
nace blower starts.
 
NOTE:
 
 If the burners fail to ignite after 4 attempts, the fur-
nace control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main 
burners fail to light, or blower does not come on, shut down 
the furnace and call your dealer for service.
12. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies 
your comfort requirements. SUGGESTION: Setting 
the thermostat back a few degrees—and compensating 
for the difference with warmer clothing—can make a big 
difference in your fuel consumption. The few degrees at 
the top of your thermostat “comfort level’’ are the most 
costly degrees to obtain.
When room temperature drops below the temperature 
selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be switched 
on automatically. When the room temperature reaches 
the temperature selected on the thermostat, the furnace 
will be  switched off automatically.
Some thermostats have a FAN mode with 2 selections, 
AUTO and ON. When set on AUTO, the furnace blower 
cycles on and off. In ON mode, the furnace blower runs 
continuously. Continuous fan keeps the temperature lev-
el in your home more evenly balanced. It also permits the 
indoor air to be continuously filtered.
 
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE
 
Should you need to shut down your furnace for service or 
maintenance, you will need to turn the furnace off. The fol-
lowing procedures must be followed:
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature 
setting. (See Fig. 15.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve (See Fig. 7.) 
3. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 16.)
