1 - Keep unit area clear and free of combustible materi-

als, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

2 - Inspect return air duct to ensure duct is sealed to

the unit and terminates outside the space contain-

ing appliance.

3 - This unit requires air for combustion and ventilation

to ensure both proper and safe operation. Combus-
tion air is brought in through the condenser section.

Do not block or obstruct the condenser coil or con-

denser fan opening.

4 - Examine the unit periodically to ensure that the physi-

cal support of the unit is sound without sagging,
cracks, gaps, etc. There must be no obvious signs of

deterioration of the unit.

A,WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur-

nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be-
cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the

floor.

The gas valve on may be equipped with either a gas
control switch or gas control knob, Use only your hand

to push the lever or turn the gas control knob. Never use
tools. If the the switch will not move or the knob will not

push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a quali-

fied service technician. Force or attempted repair may

result in a fire or explosion.
This unit is equipped with an automatic spark ignition sys-

tem. There is no pilot, In case of a safety shutdown, move
thermostat switch to OFF and return the thermostat

switch to HEAT. An electro-mechanical thermostat is
shown in figure 1. On units with electronic temperature

controls, shut main disconnect off and back on to reset
ignition control.

kWARNING

There are many styles of thermostats, Though their ap-
pearances may be different, there are many similarities,

System Switch
The thermostat system switch allows you to choose

whether you wish the unit to operate in either the HEAT or

COOL mode, When the HEAT mode is selected, the unit

will operate to satisfy a heating demand, When the COOL

mode is selected, the unit will operate to satisfy a cooling
demand, Some thermostats feature an AUTO system
mode, which automatically switches between the HEAT

and COOL modes to ensure comfort,

To maintain efficiency and longevity, your equipment
must be serviced yearly by a qualified service technician.

Failure to provide proof of proper service can void the

warranty.

AWARNING

Filters
Filter(s) must be installed in the return air system. Filters

should be checked monthly and replaced when neces-
sary. Take note of air flow direction marking on filter frame

when reinstalling filters, Replace disposable or clean per-
manent type as necessary, DO NOT replace permanent

type with disposable,

NOTE - Filters must be U.L.C. approved or equivalent for
use in Canada.

Motors

All motors are permanently lubricated and require no
further lubrication. Motors should be cleaned yearly to
prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt on the windings

or motor exterior,
Coil

Dirt and debris should not be allowed to accumulate on

the coil surfaces or other parts in the air conditioning cir-
cuit. Cleaning should be performed as often as neces-
sary, Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other

suitable means. If water is used to clean the coil, be sure
the power to unit is shut off prior to cleaning.

NOTE - Care should be used when cleaning the coil so
that the coil fins are not damaged.

Do not permit the hot condenser air discharge to be ob-

structed by overhanging structures or shrubs,

Burners

=tWARNING

Typical Flame Appearance

Heat Exchanger

Burner J

Inspect the burner flame periodically during heating sea-
son to ensure proper burner operation,

Light the burners and allow unit to operate for a few min-
utes to establish normal burning conditions. Observe the

burner flames, Flames should be predominantly blue in
color and strong in appearance, Verify that all burners
are lit and that the flame does not impinge on the sides of

the heat exchanger. See figure 4,
Distorted flame or yellow tipping of the natural gas

flame (or long yellow tips on LP/propane flame) may be

caused by one or more of the following: lint or dirt inside
the burner or burner ports; lint or dirt at the air inlet be-
tween the burner and manifold pipe; or an obstruction

over the burner orifice,
Use a soft brush or vacuum to clean the affected areas,

Vent Outlet
Visually inspect vent outlet periodically to make sure that

the there is no buildup of soot and dirt. If necessary, clean
to maintain adequate opening to discharge flue products.

Call a qualified service technician if the unit is inopera-
tive, Before calling, always check the following to be

sure service is required:

1 - Be sure electrical disconnect switches are ON,
2 - Check room thermostat for proper setting,
3 - Replace any blown fuses or reset circuit breakers,

4 - Gas valve should be ON,
5 - Air filters should not be plugged, limiting air flow,

6 - Make sure all access panels are in place,
