9. Turn the manual gas control switch to the
“ON” position.
10. Replace the burner access door, ensuring
that it is properly in place.
11. Restore the electric power to the furnace.
12. Adjust the thermostat to the desired setting.
If the thermostat also controls an air condition-
ing system, ensure that the thermostat system
switch is in the “HEAT” or “AUTO” mode.
If this is the fi rst time that the furnace has undergone
a trial ignition since installation, or if there has been
work done on the gas lines, the furnace might not
light because of air trapped in the gas supply line.
Simply turn the thermostat down to its lowest set-
ting, wait 5 minutes, then adjust the thermostat to
the desired setting. If the problem persists, proceed
to
“Furnace Shut-Down Procedure”
and call your
Installer, service agency or gas supplier.
FURNACE SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE:
1. Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
2. Shut off electric power to the furnace.
3. Turn the appliance manual shut-off valve to
the “OFF” position.
4. Remove the burner access door, turn the
manual gas control switch to the “OFF” position,
then re-install the burner access door.
IMPORTANT:
If you intend to be away from
home for lengthy periods of time during the non-
heating season, it is advisable to follow the fur-
nace shut down procedure.
4 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY HOMEOWNER
CAUTION
If cleaning rather than replacing the fi lter, un-
less the fi lter is thoroughly washed and dried,
be sure that the fi lter is re-installed with the
airfl ow direction identical to its previous use.
Reversing the fi lter will cause dust trapped
within the fi lter to break free and recirculate
within the duct system.
LUBRICATION
The circulating air blower, and induced blower as-
sembly motors have sealed bearings. The bearings
contain permanent special purpose lubricants. At-
tempting to force common oil into the circulating
and induced blower motor bearings will deteriorate
the original lubricant and shorten bearing life.
ROUTINE EXAMINATION
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that your furnace
and vents be checked by a qualifi ed service
technician once a year.
It is good practice to give a quick inspection of your
furnace each time you inspect or clean the air fi lter.
AIR FILTER
CAUTION
Do not operate your furnace or air condition-
er for extended periods of time without an
air fi lter.
A portion of the dust entrained in the air may tem-
porarily lodge in the air duct runs and the supply
registers. Any recirculated dust particles will be
heated and charred by coming into contact with
the heat exchanger. This residue will soil ceilings,
walls, drapes, carpets, furniture, and other house-
hold articles.
WARNING
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO
THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Follow air fi lter manufacturer’s instructions for re-
moving and cleaning the fi lter. Allow the fi lter to dry
thoroughly before reinstallation and never operate
the blower fan with a wet fi lter. Consult your instal-
lation contractor or service technician if you have
any questions on fi lters.
