SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 

 

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to 
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified personnel 
should install, repair, or service heating equipment. 
 
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as 
cleaning coils, or cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations 
should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on 
heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and on 
labels attached to or shipped with the unit, and other safety 
precautions that may apply. 
 
Follow all safety codes.  In the United States, follow all safety codes 
including the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54-2006/ANSI 
Z223.1-2006.  In Canada, refer to the National Standard of Canada 
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes (NSCNGPIC), CSA 
B149.1-05. 
 
Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher 
available during start-up, adjustment procedures, and service calls. 
 
Recognize safety information.  This is the safety-alert symbol      .  
When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or 
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury. 
 
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, 
and NOTE.  The words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION are 
used with the safety-alert symbol.  DANGER identifies the most 
serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.  
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or 
death.  CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may 
result in minor personal injury, or product and property damage.  
NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced 
installation, reliability, or operation. 
 

INSTRUCTIONS 

 

This guide uses your expertise and observations to lead you to the 
trouble spot as efficiently as possible.  This is only intended as a guide 
and should not be used blindly.  Your experience and expertise are of 
high value when troubleshooting this unit.  Do not disregard all of 
your instincts. 
 
The variable speed furnace control was designed with diagnostic 
capabilities built in.  A AMBER LED is used to flash a status code 
which will lead you to one of the sections as listed in the Index. 
 
You should ALWAYS begin in the START HERE section (see Index 
for page number) which will guide you to the appropriate section 
where a minimal number of steps will be used to correct the problem.  
Once in a section, read the ACTION.  An ACTION may have a
