THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostat responds to the room temperature. When the room temperature
drops below the thermostat setting, the thermostat turns the furnace burner and
blower on. When the room temperature goes above the thermostat setting, the
thermostat turns the furnace burner off. The blower will continue to blow about two
to three minutes after the burner goes out. The thermostat keeps the room at a
constant temperature.
To observe burner flame, remove furnace front cover. Remove the two screws at
the lower edges of front cover. Lift front cover away. Locate viewing window on
front of combustion chamber. You can see burner flame through this window.
Correct Burner Flame: Blue flame with well-defined burner ports.
Incorrect Burner Flame: Yellow or lazy flame without well-defined burner ports.
If burner flame is incorrect, shut off furnace and contact a qualified service person.
