This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for an extended
period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with no heat, such
as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before You Request a Service Call” section in this manual.
In addition to the safety rules above, make sure that the following combustion-air requirements are met for non-direct vent applica-
tions:
• Combustion air must be clean and uncontaminated with chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present in many products
around the home, such as: water softener salts, laundry bleaches, detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes,
and plastics.
• Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the combustion
air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers may deteriorate.
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition
system to light the burners each time the thermostat starts your furnace.
Follow these important safeguards:
5
• Never attempt to light the burners manually with a match or other source of flame.
• Read and follow the operating instructions on the furnace, especially the item that reads as follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP!
Follow “B” in the safety
information above on this furnace label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
• If a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control system, such as the burners not lighting when they should, refer to the
shutdown procedures on the furnace, or in the “Shutting Down Your Furnace” section, and call your dealer as soon as possible.
CHECK AIR FILTER:
Before attempting to start your furnace, be sure the furnace air filter is clean and in place. See “Performing
Routine Maintenance” section in this manual. Then proceed as follows:
678
WARNING: If overheating occurs or the gas valve fails to shut off the gas supply, turn off the manual gas
valve to the furnace BEFORE turning off the electrical supply. (See Fig. 7.) Failure to follow this warning could
result in a fire or explosion, and personal injury or death.
