OPERA TING YOUR UNIT

These units are equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the

burners by hand.

7. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas, then smell for

gas (including at the bottom of the unit near the ground).
If you smell gas, stop and follow the directions in
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS on page 1. If you
don’t smell gas, continue to next step.

Before operating, smell around furnace area for gas. Be
sure to smell near the unit base because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the lowest point. See WHAT T O DO
IF YOU SMELL GAS on page 1 if the odor of gas is present.

Use only your hand to slide the gas control switch; never
use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, don’t try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

technician or gas supplier.

Operating Sequence

When the thermostat calls for heat, the vent motor will purge
the system for 30 seconds (nominal). When the prepurge
time has expired, the gas valve will open for direct ignition.
When burners are lit, the flame sensor will sense flame and
keep the gas valve open. If the flame sensor does not
sense that a flame has been established, it will shut off the
gas valve. The ignition system is designed to go through
three trials for ignition. If flame still has not been established
after the third trial, the system will go into lockout. After 1
hour, the system will try three more times.
