Unit Start−Up
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under-
water. A flood−damaged furnace is extremely dan-
gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in
fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified ser-
vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace
all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical
parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace,
if deemed necessary.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury
or product or property damage. Should
the gas supply fail to shut off or if
overheating occurs, shut off the gas
valve to the furnace before shutting off
the electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or mainte-
nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis-
connect switch.
WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits ener-
gy that may interfere with pacemaker operation. In-
terference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
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 op-
eration.
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 de-
mand.
5 − Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again al-
low the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6 − Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de-
mand and again wait for the combustion air inducer to
stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with suffi-
cient water to ensure proper condensate drain opera-
tion.
BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION,
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 SLP98UHV is equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the control
switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by
hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
SLP98UHV units are equipped with an automatic 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 this ignition
system.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
Gas Valve Operation (Figure 52)
1 −
STOP
! Read the safety information at the beginning of
this section.
2 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit.
4 − This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the burners. Do
not
try to light the
burners by hand.
5 − Remove the access panel.
6 − Move the gas valve switch to the
OFF
position. See
figure 52.
7 − Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell
gas, STOP! Immediately call the gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc-
tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.
8 − Move gas valve switch to the
ON
position. See figure
52. Do not force.
