IMPORTANT FACTS (DO’S AND DON’TS)
S DO: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL.
S DO: Have your furnace and vent system inspected annually
by a qualified service technician.
S DO: Inspect your filter monthly and clean or replace when
needed.
S DO: Provide adequate airflow to the furnace for efficient
combustion and safe ventilation.
S DO: Keep your furnace free and clear of insulating material.
Some materials may be combustible. Examine the furnace
area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is
added.
S DO NOT: Enclose your furnace in an airtight room or seal it
behind solid doors.
S DO NOT: Keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.
S DO NOT: Cover your furnace in any manner.
S DO NOT: Store anything (including trash or debris) near your
furnace.
S DO NOT: In any way block or restrict airflow around your
furnace.
S DO NOT: In any way block or restrict airflow to your supply air
and return air grills.
S DO NOT: Use your furnace room as a broom closet or a place
to store any kind of chemical or cleaner.
S DO NOT: Contaminate the air used for combustion of your
furnace with any kind of chemical or fumes. This could also
cause heat exchangers, metal vent systems or components
to deteriorate.
NOTE: These chemicals or fumes are present in many
products around the home, such as: water softener salts, any
type of household cleaning product, any type of laundry
product, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes
and plastics, etc.
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.

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.
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow warnings could result in personal
injury, death, or property damage.
Keep insulation clear of furnace and maintain
clearances shown on unit clearance label.
WARNING
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
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.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions such as cleaning or 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 symbol
. 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 property
damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will
result in enhanced installation, reliability or operation.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e.
chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of
obstructions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is
physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return−air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the furnace is sound without
sagging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the
furnace.
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
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:
S Never attempt to manually light the burners with a
match or other source of flame.
Figure 3 − Do Not Light Burner with Match
A92319
S Read and follow the operating instructions on inside
of main furnace door, 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, STOP!
Follow “B” in the safety information above on this
furnace label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next
step.”
S 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 inside of main furnace door, or in the “Shutting
Down Your Furnace” section and call your dealer as
soon as possible.
!
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, turn off the manual gas valve to the furnace
BEFORE turning off the electrical supply and install
lockout tag.
S CHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your
furnace, be sure the furnace filter is clean and in
place. See “Performing Routine Maintenance”
section in this manual. Do not run the furnace
without a filter in place. Then proceed as follows:
