1 -   STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning 
of this section.
2 -   Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 -   Turn o all electrical power to the unit.
4 -   This  furnace  is  equipped  with  an  ignition  device 
which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to 
light the burners by hand.
5 -   Remove the upper access panel.
6 -   Move  gas  valve  switch  to  OFF  position.  Do  not 
force. See gure 19.
7 -   Wait ve minutes to clear out any gas. If you then 
smell gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier 
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s 
instructions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.
8 -   Move gas valve switch to ON position. Do not force. 
See gure 19.
9 -   Replace the upper access panel.
10 -  Turn on all electrical power to to the unit.
11 -  Set the thermostat to desired setting.
NOTE - When unit is initially started, steps 1 through 
11 may need to be repeated to purge air from gas 
line.
12 -  If  the  appliance  will  not  operate,  follow  the 
instructions  “Turning O  Gas  to Unit”  and  call the 
gas supplier.
Turning O Gas to Unit
1 -   Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2 -   Turn o all electrical power to the unit if service is to 
be performed.
3 -   Remove the upper access panel.
4 -   Move  gas  valve  switch  to  OFF  position.  Do  not 
force. See gure 19.
5 -   Replace the upper access panel.
B- Safety or Emergency Shutdown
Disconnect  main  power  to unit.  Close manual  and  main 
gas valves.
C- Extended Period Shutdown
Turn o thermostat or set to “UNOCCUPIED” mode. Close 
all gas valves (both internal and external to unit) to guar-
antee  no  gas  leaks  into  combustion  chamber.  Turn  o 
power  to  unit. All  access  panels  and  covers  must  be  in 
place and secured.
IV-HEATING SYSTEM SERVICE CHECKS
A- C.S.A. Certication
All units are C.S.A. design certied without modications. 
Refer to the ML180UHE(X) Installation Instruction.
B- Gas Piping
Gas  supply  piping  should  not  allow  more  than  0.5”W.C. 
drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas 
pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection. Com-
pounds used on gas piping threaded joints should be re-
sistant to action of liqueed petroleum gases.
C- Testing Gas Piping
 CAUTION
If a exible gas connector is required or allowed by 
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe 
shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside 
the furnace cabinet.
 IMPORTANT
In case emergency shutdown is required, turn o the 
main shut-o valve and disconnect the main power 
to unit. These controls should be properly labeled 
by the installer.
 WARNING
Do not exceed 600 in-lbs (50 ft-lbs) torque when 
attaching the gas piping to the gas valve.
When pressure testing gas lines, the  gas  valve must be 
disconnected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if 
subjected to more than 0.5psig (14” W.C.). See gure 20. 
If the pressure is equal to or less than 0.5psig (14”W.C.), 
close the manual shut-o valve before pressure testing to 
isolate furnace from gas supply.
