Unit Start−Up
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
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. A qualified service agency
should be contacted to inspect the furnace and to
replace all gas controls, control system parts, elec-
trical parts that have been wet or 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.
WARNING
SMOKE POTENTIAL
The heat exchanger in this unit could be a source of
smoke on initial firing. Take precautions with respect
to building occupants and property. Vent initial sup-
ply air outside when possible.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause
injury or death. Before attempting to
perform any service or maintenance,
turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
disconnect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or
death. Do not attempt to light manually.
Unit has a direct spark ignition system.
BEFORE LIGHTING
smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand,
do not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
