9 -  Replace the 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 Off Gas to Unit” and call the 
gas supplier.
Turning Off Gas to Unit
1 -  Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2 -   Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is to 
be performed.
3 -  Remove the access panel.
4 -  Move the gas valve switch to the OFF position.
5 -  Replace the access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 -  Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 -  Are access panels securely in place?
3 -  Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 -  Is there a blown fuse?
5 -   Is the lter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged lters 
will cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 -  Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 -  Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 -  Is the gas valve turned on?
9 -   Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit 
locks out again, inspect the unit for blockages.
10 -  Is blower harness connected to ignition control? 
Furnace will not operate unless harness is 
connected.
High Altitude Information
NOTE - In Canada, certication for installations at eleva-
tions  over  4500  feet  (1372  m)  is  the  jurisdiction  of  local 
authorities.
SLP98DFV units require no manifold pressure adjust-
ments for operation at altitudes up to 10,000 feet (3048 
m) above sea level. Units installed at altitude of 7,501 to 
10,000 feet (2287 to 3048m) require a pressure switch 
change per table 29. Table 29 also lists conversion kit re-
quirements.
The combustion air pressure switch is factory-set and re-
quires no adjustment.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check-
ing  gas  ow.  Determine  time  in  seconds  for  two  revolu-
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a 
more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time 
in table 26. If manifold pressure matches table 30 and rate 
is incorrect, check gas orices for proper size and restric-
tion. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas 
appliances connected to meter.
Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides 
access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the thread-
ed plug, install a eld-provided barbed tting and connect 
a manometer to measure supply pressure. Replace the 
threaded plug after measurements have been taken.
 
Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct 
manifold pressure and gas ow rate before checking com-
bustion. Take  combustion sample  beyond  the  ue outlet 
and compare to the tables below. The maximum carbon 
monoxide reading should not exceed 100 ppm.
