IMPORTANT FACTS
Your furnace must have adequate airflow for efficient com-
bustion and safe ventilation. Do not enclose it in an airtight
room or “seal’’ it behind solid doors.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire,
furnace damage, or improper operation,
these safety rules:
• Keep the area around your furnace free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
carefully follow
Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the
combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers and
metal vent system may deteriorate.
• A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space
must be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine
the furnace area when installing the furnace or adding more
insulation. Some materials may be combustible.
NOTE:
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.
NOTE:
The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories
when modifying this product.
This furnace contains safety devices which must be manually reset. If the furnace is left unattended for an extended
period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated
with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before
You Request a Service Call’’ section in this manual.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or
in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
• Combustion air must be clean and uncontaminated with
chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present in
many products around the home, such as: water softener
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and
qualified personnel should install, repair, or service heating
equipment.
3
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other
operations must be performed by trained service personnel. Observe safety precautions in this manual, on tags, and
on labels attached to the furnace and other safety precautions
that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym-
!
bol . When you see this symbol on the furnace and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Understand the signal words—DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
signifies hazards which
could result in personal injury or
death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which
would result in minor personal injury or product and prop-
erty damage.
STEPS FOR STARTING YOUR
FURNACE
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting. (See Fig. 7.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 8.)
®
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame, your furnace
uses an automatic hot surface ignition system to light the
burners each time the thermostat signals the furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
• Never attempt to manually light the burners with a match
or other source of flame.
6
• Read and follow the operating instructions on the furnace,
especially the item that reads as follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas,
in the safety information above on this label. If you don’t
smell gas, go to the next step.
• If a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control
system, such as the burners do not light when they should,
refer to the shutdown procedures on the furnace, or in the
next section, to turn off your system, then call your dealer as
soon as possible.
!
WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas valves fail to
shut off the gas supply, turn off the manual gas
valve (See Fig. 8.) to the furnace BEFORE turning
off the electrical supply. A failure to follow this
warning could result in a fire or explosion, and
personal injury or death.
•
Check Air Filter: Before attempting to start your furnace,
be sure the furnace filter is clean and in place. (See the maintenance section of this manual.) Then proceed as follows:
