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.

GAS VALVE SHOWN IN OFF POSITION

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the unit area for

gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas
is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or at-
tempted 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,

&WARNING

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,

Fan Operation
The thermostat fan switch allows you to choose whether
you wish the circulating air blower to operate in either the

AUTO or ON mode. When the AUTO mode is selected,
the circulating air blower will cycle on and off with the cool-
ing or heating demand. When the ON mode is selected,

the circulating air blower will operate continuously,

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

,WARNING

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 3.

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.
