The fan runs until the heat is removed from the furnace,
then it turns off (if equipped).
Your furnace is equipped with a 100% safety pilot that will shut off
the gas supply in case the pilot is not burning or functioning
properly. Make sure the pilot is adjusted properly and that the
pilot generator connection at the control valve is tight. If the
furnace will not stay lit, call your local gas utility or a qualified
service person.
If furnace is equipped with a manual spark igniter, follow these
steps:
1.
Review the pilot lighting instructions.
2.
When instructed to “Light the Pilot,” depress the red button
located on the burner pan for pilot ignition. If necessary,
depress the red button vigorously several times for pilot
ignition.
3.
If pilot fails to ignite or a spark is not present while actuating
the red button or by using a match, repeat steps 5 through
10 listed in "Lighting the Pilot.”
WARNING:
The surface of the furnace is hot
during operation. Keep children, clothing, furniture,
and flammable material away from it. Keep all
access doors and panels in place except for
inspection and maintenance. On new installations,
the gas lines will be filled with air and it may take
several minutes to establish the pilot flame.

injury or death. If the furnace overheats or fails to
shut off, close manual shutoff gas valve to the
