Start-Up
Preliminary and Seasonal Checks
1.
Inspect electrical wiring, both field and factory installed
for loose connections. Tighten as required.
2.
Check voltage at disconnect switch. Voltage must be
within range listed on the nameplate. If not, consult the
power company and have voltage condition corrected
before starting unit.
3.
Inspect condition of condensate traps and drain
assembly. Disassemble and clean seasonally.
Heating Start-Up
BEFORE LIGHTING
the unit, smell all around the furnace
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the A93DF1E / 92G1DFE is equipped
with a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the
switch. Never use tools. If the the switch will not move by
hand, replace the valve. Do not try to repair it. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the Furnace Into Operation
A93DF1E / 92G1DFE units are equipped with an ignition
system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on this
furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the
burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot
when there is no call for heat on units with ignition system.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior
to start-up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either
pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow
these steps to prime the trap:
1.
Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into
operation.
2.
Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3.
Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4.
Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating
demand.
5.
Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again
allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6.
Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating demand
and again wait for the combustion air inducer to stop.
At this point, the trap should be primed with sufficient
water to ensure proper condensate drain operation.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
