CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system
being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. The following
steps shall be followed with each individual appliance connected to the venting system being
placed in operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in
operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion and other defi ciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space
in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces
of the building.
4. Close fi replace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust
the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the fl ame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must
be corrected in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes.

Installation in a Garage
WARNING:
Do not place combustible material on or
against the furnace cabinet or within 6 inches
of the vent pipe. Do not place combustible
materials, including gasoline and any other
fl ammable vapors and liquids, in the vicinity
of the furnace.
This Gas-fi red furnace may be installed in a residential
garage with the provision that the burners and igniter
are located no less than 18 inches (457mm) above the
fl oor. The furnace must be located or protected to prevent
physical damage by vehicles.
Heating Load
The ductwork should be appropriately sized to the
capacity of the furnace to ensure its proper airfl ow rating.
For installations above 2,000 ft., the furnace should have
a sea level input rating large enough that it will meet
the heating load after deration for altitude. Excessive
oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace
and/or vent to fail prematurely.
COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS
Provisions must be made during the installation of
this furnace that provide an adequate supply of air for
combustion.
Installation In A Confi ned Space
A confi ned space is an area with volume less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of
all appliances drawing combustion air from that space.
Furnace closets, small equipment rooms and garages are
confi ned spaces. Furnaces installed in a confi ned space
which supply heated air to areas outside the space must
draw return air from outside the space and must have the
return air ducts tightly sealed to the furnace.
NOTE: The required sizing of these openings is determined
by whether inside or outside air is used to support
combustion, the method by which the air is brought to
the space, and by the total input rate of all appliances in
the space. In all cases, the minimum dimension of any
combustion air opening is 3 inches.
Air From Inside
If combustion air is taken from the heated space, the
two openings must each have a free area of at least one
square inch per 1,000 Btuh of total input of all appliances
in the confi ned space, but not less than 100 square
inches of free area (Figure 1). See example.
Example:
If the combined input rate of all appliances is less than or
equal to 100,000 Btuh, each opening must have a free
area of at least 100 square inches. If the combined input
rate of all appliances is 120,000 Btuh, each opening
must have a free area of at least 120 square inches.
General Information
• Instructions for determining the adequacy of an
installation can be found in the current revision of the IFGC.
Consult local codes for special requirements.
CAUTION:
Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fi replaces and
other appliances that force air from the house
to the outdoors can create a negative pressure
inside the house, resulting in improper furnace
operation or unsafe conditions such as fl ame
roll out. It is imperative that suffi cient air
exchange with the outdoors is provided to
prevent depressurization.
• Air openings on top of the furnace and in closet doors
or walls must never be restricted. If the furnace is
operated without adequate air for combustion, the fl ame
roll-out switch will open, turning off the gas supply to
the burners. This safety device is a manually reset
switch. DO NOT reset or install jumper wires across
this switch to defeat its function without identifying
and correcting the fault condition. If the switch must
be replaced, use only the correct sized part specifi ed
in the Replacement Parts List provided online.

Installation In An Unconfi ned Space
An unconfi ned space is an area including all rooms not
separated by doors with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all
appliances which draw combustion air from that space.
In general, a furnace installed in an unconfi ned space will
not require outside air for combustion. However, in homes
built for energy effi ciency (low air change rates), it may
be necessary to provide outside air to ensure adequate
combustion and venting, even though the furnace is
located in an unconfi ned space. See example.
Example:
A space with a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh
input and a furnace rated at 75,000 Btuh requires a
volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to
be considered unconfi ned. If the space has an 8 foot
ceiling, the fl oor area of the space must be 750 square
feet (6,000 / 8 = 750).
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
Upon completion of the furnace installation,
carefully inspect the entire fl ue system both
inside and outside the furnace to assure it is
properly sealed. Leaks in the fl ue system can
result in serious personal injury or death due
to exposure of fl ue products, including carbon
monoxide.
This furnace must be vented in compliance with the
current revision of the International Fuel Gas Code and
the instructions provided below. Consult local codes for
special requirements.
Category I Venting
This furnace is listed as a Category I vented appliance.
Category I furnaces generally operate with a slight negative
pressure (draft) and must be vented vertically or near
vertically. Additionally it is important to guard against
excessive condensation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This furnace must never be vented
to a chimney or fl ue that services a fi replace or other
appliance designed to burn solid fuel. If the furnace
vent is to be connected to a chimney serving a fi replace,
the fi replace must be sealed off from the chimney.
WARNING:
Venting into an unlined masonry chimney or
concrete chimney is prohibited. This may result
in improper draft and excess condensation
forming in the chimney.
• This furnace may be vented with a dedicated venting
system or common vented with other Category I
appliances. The vent system dimensions and material
must conform to local Codes.
• The venting system should be designed to have the
minimum number of elbows or turns. All horizontal runs
shall slope upwards from the furnace at ¼ inch per
running foot of vent. Supports for the vent pipe must
be installed a minimum of every fi ve feet along the
vent run to ensure no displacement after installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Under no circumstances shall
any portion of the vent system extend into or pass
through any return air duct, supply air duct, or
plenum.
• Single wall vent connectors may be used under the
limited capacity ranges found in the vent sizing tables.
It is recommended that Type “B” double wall vent
be used for the connector whenever possible. An
existing masonry chimney should be inspected and
relined if necessary.
• Single wall metal vertical vents shall not be used for
Category I venting. The furnace vent, if metal, may be
insulated if local codes allow. Any part of the vent system,
metal vent only, not exposed to weather, but which are
exposed to temperatures below 35° F (1° C) must be
insulated to prevent condensation. All vent insulation
shall be foil backed fi berglass of one inch minimum
thickness.
• Sheet metal fasteners should be used to secure the vent
pipe to the furnace fl ue.
• When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system
may no longer be sized to properly vent the remaining
appliances. An improperly sized venting system can result
in the formation of condensate, leakage, or spillage. The
existing vent system should also be checked to make
sure it is in compliance with local codes. If it isn’t, the
vent system must be brought into compliance before
installing the furnace.
• Category I furnace installations must be connected
to a factory built vent complying with a recognized
standard, or a masonry or concrete chimney lined with
a lining material acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction.

Page 9
CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
• Do not allow combustion products to enter the
circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the
circulation of combustion products into the
living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide
poisoning that could result in personal injury
or death.
• All return ductwork must be secured to
the furnace with sheet metal screws. For
installations in confi ned spaces, all return
ductwork must be adequately sealed. When
return air is provided through the bottom of
the furnace, the joint between the furnace and
the return air plenum must be air tight.
• The surface that the furnace is mounted on must
provide sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the
furnace and the fl oor or platform.
• Return air and circulating air ductwork must
not be connected to any other heat producing
device such as a fi replace insert, stove, etc.
This may result in fi re, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury, or
property damage.
Plenums and Air Ducts
• Supply and return air must be delivered to the furnace
by duct(s) secured to the furnace casing, running full
size and without interruption.
• Table 5 (pages 22 - 23) contains the maximum airfl ow
and temperature rise data for each furnace input rate.
NOTE: If the maximum airfl ow is 1,600 CFM or more, it
is recommended that two openings be used for return
air on upfl ow furnaces.
• It is recommended that the outlet duct contain a
removable access panel that is accessible when the
furnace is installed in service. The opening shall be of
a size that smoke or refl ected light may be observed
inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in
the heat exchanger. The cover for the opening shall be
attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks.
• If outside air is used as return air to the furnace for
ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system
must be designed so that the return air is not less than
60° F (15° C) during operation. If a combination of indoor
and outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper system
must be designed so that the return air supply to the
furnace is equal to the return air supply under normal,
indoor return air applications.
• If a cooling system is installed which uses the furnace
blower to provide airfl ow over the indoor coil, the coil
must be installed downstream (on the outlet side) of the
furnace or in parallel with the furnace.
• If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the
furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace and condensing on the heat
exchanger. If a manually operated damper is installed,
it must be designed so that the furnace will not operate
when the damper is in the cooling position or when in
heating position, the cooling system is inoperable.
• It is good practice to seal all connections and joints
with industrial grade sealing tape or liquid sealant.
Requirements for sealing ductwork vary from region
to region. Consult with local codes for specific
requirements.
Supply Air Connections
To attach the supply air duct to the furnace, bend the
furnace fl anges (Figure 16, page 21) upward 90° with
wide duct pliers. Position the duct on top of the furnace
and secure together with sheet metal screws. The screws
must penetrate the sheet metal casing and furnace fl ange.
Tape or seal all seams if required by local code.
Return Air Connections
For upfl ow installations, the return air ductwork may be
connected to the left side, right side, or bottom. The bottom
panel (Figure 16) must be installed for left or right return
air. Do not use the back of the furnace for return air.
Side Return Installations
WARNING:
The solid base of the furnace must be in
place when the furnace is installed with side
return air ducts. Removal of all or part of the
base could cause circulation of combustible
products into the living space and create
potentially hazardous conditions, including
carbon monoxide poisoning that could result
in personal injury or death.
To attach the return air duct to the left or right side of the
furnace, punch out the four knockouts (Figure 16) from the
preferred side of the furnace. Using sharp metal cutters,
cut an opening between all four knockouts to expose
the blower assembly. Position the return air duct over
the opening in the side and secure together with sheet
metal screws. The screws must penetrate the duct and
furnace cabinet.
Bottom Return Installations
The bottom panel (Figure 16) must be removed from the
bottom of the furnace for bottom return air. Refer to pages
10 - 11 for removal instructions. Position the furnace over
the return air duct and secure together with sheet metal
screws. The screws must penetrate the duct and furnace
cabinet.

may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Failure to follow the safety
warnings exactly could result in serious injury,
death or property damage.
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all
connections must be tested for gas leaks. This includes
pipe connections at the main gas valve, emergency
shutoff valve and fl exible gas connectors (if applicable).
Apply the soap and water solution on each joint or union
using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is observed,
the connection is not sealed adequately and must be
retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap check process
until bubbling ceases.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing gas supply
lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.),
the gas supply piping system must be disconnected
from the furnace to prevent damage to the gas control
valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2
psig (14 inch W.C.), close the manual shut-off valve.
High Altitude Application
The installation of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000
feet must meet the requirements of the International
Fuel Gas Code or local codes. High altitude conversion
of this furnace depends on the installation altitude and
heating value of the gas (at sea level) from your local
gas utility. NOTE: At high altitudes, the heating value is
always lower than heating value at sea level.
The *XA furnace is shipped from the factory with orifi ces
and gas regulator settings for natural gas operation at sea
level. At 2,000 feet, this appliance needs to be derated 4%
per 1,000 feet of altitude. For example, the input needs to
UPFLOW FURNACE
be reduced 8% at 2,000 feet, 12% at 3,000 feet, etc. This
deration is in reference to the input rate and gas heating
value at sea level.
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished
with factory supplied orifi ces. Do not attempt
to drill out orifi ces in the fi eld. Improperly
drilled orifi ces may cause fi re, explosion,
carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
or death.
From 2,000 to 5,000 feet, deration may be performed by
adjusting the manifold pressure on the gas valve (see
page 15). Above 5,000 feet, it is necessary to change
both the orifi ce and manifold pressure. Table 8 (page 26)
contains the manifold pressure and orifi ce sizes to use at
various altitudes for natural gas installations.

When deration is completed, it is required that you measure
the gas input rate. This may be accomplished in the usual
way, by clocking the gas meter and using the local gas
heating value. NOTE: It will be necessary to check the
input rate using the actual heating value, (which will be
less) because the atmospheric pressure is also lower
than sea level. See Verifying and Adjusting the Input Rate
(page 15).
Conversion to LP/Propane
WARNING:
The furnace was shipped from the factory
equipped to operate on natural gas. Conversion
to LP/propane gas must be performed by
qualifi ed service personnel using a factory
supplied conversion kit. Failure to use the
proper conversion kit can cause fi re, explosion,
property damage, carbon monoxide poisoning,
personal injury, or death.
Conversion to LP/propane is detailed in the installation
instructions provided with the conversion kit. Generally,
this will require the replacement of the burner orifi ces and
the spring found under the cap screw on the pressure
regulator.
The LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High Altitude
Conversion Kit (P/N 904923) is an approved conversion
kit for LP/propane conversion at altitudes between zero
and 10,000 ft. above sea level. If the installation is above
2,000 ft., refer to Table 9 (page 26) to determine the correct
orifi ce size and manifold pressure. When conversion is
complete, verify the manifold pressure and input rate are
correct as listed in Table 9. Please follow the instructions
provided with the kit.

Grounding
WARNING:
To minimize personal injury, the furnace cabinet
must have an uninterrupted or unbroken electrical
ground. The controls used in this furnace
require an earth ground to operate properly.
Acceptable methods include electrical wire or
conduit approved for ground service. Do not
use gas piping as an electrical ground!
START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-Start Check List
√ Verify the polarity of the connections are correct, the
line voltage power leads are securely connected and
the furnace is properly grounded.
√ Verify the thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) are
securely connected to the correct leads on the
terminal strip of the circuit board.
√ Verify the gas line service pressure does not exceed
10.0 inches of W.C., and is not less than 4.5 inches
W.C. for natural gas. For LP gas the line service
pressure must not exceed 14 in. W.C., and must not
be less than 11.0 in. W.C.
√ Verify the roll-out and manual reset switch is closed.
If necessary, press the red button to reset a switch.
If a switch reopens on startup, DO NOT reset the
switch without identifying and correcting the fault
condition. DO NOT install a jumper wire across a
switch to defeat its function.
√ Verify the blower door is in place, closing the door
switch in the line voltage circuit.
√ Verify the gas line has been purged and all connections
are leak free.
Start-up Procedures
Do not perform these steps until all of the checks in the
previous steps have been completed:
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the furnace.
3. Follow the Operating Instructions on the label attached
to the furnace.
4. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify
the Operating Sequence (Page 17).
5. After 5 minutes of operation, set the thermostat
below room temperature and verify steps 9 - 10 of
the Operating Sequence.
1. Shut off all other gas fi red appliances.
2. Start the furnace and run it for at least 3 minutes.
3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas
meter to complete one revolution.
4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas
per hour using Table 6 (page 25).
5. Multiply the gas fl ow rate in cubic ft per hr by the
heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic ft to obtain
the input rate in Btuh. See example.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1
cubic ft dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 6 read 90 cubic ft gas per hr.
• Local heating value of the gas (obtained from
gas supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic ft.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
6. The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate
value for each installation by a qualifi ed installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to drill the gas orifi ces. Use
only factory supplied orifices. Improperly
drilled orifi ces may cause fi re, explosion,
carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
or death.
a.) Obtain the manifold pressure setting required for
this installation by referring to Table 8 (page 26)
for Natural Gas or Table 9 for Propane gas
b.) Remove the regulator capscrew (Figure 14) from
the INLET side of the regulator.
c.) Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the
regulator to obtain the appropriate manifold
pressure. NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise
increases the pressure and turning the screw
counter-clockwise decreases the pressure. To
prevent backing the screw all the way out from
the valve, turn the screw slowly.
d.) Replace and tighten the regulator capscrew over
the adjustment screw.
Capscrew
Verifying and Adjusting Input Rate
The input rate must be verifi ed at installation to prevent
over-fi ring of the furnace. The input rate must not exceed
the specifi cation listed on the furnace rating plate. At
altitudes above 2,000 feet, it must not exceed that on
the rating plate less 4% for each 1,000 feet.To determine
the exact input rate, perform these steps:
Figure 14. Regulator Capscrew
15
Page 16
Verifying and Adjusting Temperature Rise
Confi rm the temperature rise through the furnace is
within the limits specifi ed on the furnace rating plate. Any
temperature rise outside the specifi ed limits could result
in premature failure of the heat exchanger.
1. Place thermometers in the retur n and supply air stream
as close to the furnace as possible. The thermometer
on the supply air side must be shielded from direct
radiation from the heat exchanger to avoid false
readings.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for 10 to 15 minutes before
taking any temperature readings. The temperature
rise is the difference between the supply and return
air temperatures.
For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall
within the limits specifi ed on the rating plate with the blower
speed at the factory recommended setting. If the measured
temperature rise is outside the specifi ed limits, it may be
necessary to change the speed of the blower.
The *XA furnace is equipped with a multi-speed motor.
Heating, cooling, and fan speed selection is made by
moving the switch located on the motor control board
(Figure 15). NOTE: Lowering the blower speed will
increase the temperature rise and a higher blower speed
will decrease the temperature rise.

Verifying Burner Operation
CAUTION:
The door over the burners may only be open
for inspection purposes only. The door must be
installed during unattended operation.
1. Remove the burner compartment door.
2. Set the thermostat above room temperature and observe
the ignition sequence. The burner fl ame should carry
over immediately between all burners without lifting
off, curling, or fl oating. The fl ames should be blue,
without yellow tips.
3. After validating the fl ame, change the thermostat setting
to below room temperature.
4. Verify the burner fl ame is completely extinguished.
5. Replace the burner compartment door.
Verify Operation of the Supply Air Limit Switch
A properly functioning limit switch should turn off the
gas valve when the return is blocked (time depends on
how well the return air is blocked). The circulating air and
combustion blowers should continue to run when the limit
switch opens.
1. Verify the blower door is securely mounted in place
and that there is power to the furnace.
2. Block the return airfl ow to the furnace by installing
a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the
fi lter(s).
3. Set the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the Operating Sequence (page 17).
4. Remove the close-off immediately after the limit
switch opens. If the furnace continues to operate
with no return air, set the thermostat below room
temperature, shut off the power to the furnace, and
replace the limit switch.
Figure 15. Motor Control Board

Page 17
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling,
and fan modes are described below. Refer to the fi eld
and furnace wiring diagrams: (Figure 11, page 13),
(Figure 12, page 14), and (Figure 17, page 24).
Heating Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the W
terminal with 24VAC.
2. The control verifi es if the pressure switch is open.
3. If the pressure switch is open, the control energizes
the inducer and waits for the pressure switch to close.
The pressure switch must close within 10 seconds.
4. The control runs the inducer for a 30 second pre-purge.
5. The control energizes the igniter output for the
appropriate warm-up time limit.
6. The control energizes the gas valve for 3 seconds.
7. If the fl ame proved and ignites the gas, the control deenergizes the igniter. The gas valve and inducer remains
energized. The control goes to blower on delay.
8. If fl ame is present, the control energizes the blower
on the selected HEAT speed 30 seconds after the
gas valve opened. The gas valve and inducer remain
energized.
9. When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfi ed, the
control de-energizes the gas valve. The inducer output
remains on for a 30 second post-purge period.
10. Blower off timing begins when the thermostat is
satisfi ed. The control will operate at the selected HEAT
speed of 60, 90, 120, or 180 seconds. If the blower
off delay jumper is not present, the fan should still
operate for 120 seconds at the selected HEAT speed.
The Indoor blower motor is de-energized after a blower
off delay as selected by the movable jumper.
Cooling Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for cooling by energizing the Y
terminal with 24VAC.
2. The control energizes the blower (in cooling speed)
and sends 24VAC to the contactor in the condensing
unit.
3. When the thermostat removes the call for cooling,
the contactor in the outdoor condensing unit is deenergized and the control continues to run the fan for
a period of 60 seconds.
Fan Mode
• When the thermostat energizes the G terminal for
continuous fan (without calling for heat or cooling), the
indoor fan is energized on the selected FAN speed.
• If a call for cooling occurs during continuous fan, the
blower will switch over to the selected COOL speed.
• If the W terminal receives a call for heat during continuous
fan, the blower will de-energize.
• A call for fan is ignored while in lockout.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
These maintenance instructions are primarily
intended to assist qualified technicians
experienced in the proper maintenance and
operation of this appliance.

for the life of the motor.
Heat Exchanger and Burner Maintenance
The furnace should operate for many years without
soot buildup in the fl ue passageways, however, the fl ue
passageways, the vent system, and the burners should be
inspected and cleaned (if required) by a qualifi ed service
technician annually to ensure continued safe operation.
Particular attention must be given to identify deterioration
from corrosion or other sources.
18
Page 19
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can
cause combustion products to enter the home.
Replace the vent pipe or heat exchanger if leaks
are found. Failure to prevent the circulation
of combustion products into the living space
can create potentially hazardous conditions
including carbon monoxide poisoning that
could result in personal injury or death.
Vent System
Check the vent pipe and/or chimney to ensure that it is not
corroded or blocked by debris. Any corroded section of vent
pipe must be replaced, and any obstruction or blockage
must be removed prior to operating the furnace.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
The descriptions below are various functional components
that affect the operation and shutting down of the furnace.
Some of these components and their locations are shown
in Figure 18 (page 27). Refer to the Operating Sequence
section (page 17) for additional component information.
If any component of the furnace must be replaced, use
only factory authorized replacement parts specifi ed in the
Replacement Parts List provided online.
Blower Limit Switch
Blower switches prevent operation when blower is not
operational.
Flame Sensor
The fl ame sensor verifi es when a fl ame has carried over
from the igniter to the opposite end burner. If no fl ame is
detected, the furnace will shut down within 4 seconds.
Flame Roll-Out Switch
The fl ame roll-out switch verifi es that the burner fl ames
are drawn into the heat exchanger tubes. If the burner
fl ames are not properly drawn into the heat exchanger, the
fl ame roll-out switch will close the gas valve and initiate
the shutdown cycle.
Gas Valve
The gas valve controls the fl ow of gas to the burners.
When the gas valve is energized it automatically opens
and regulates the gas pressure in the manifold.
Inducer Assembly
The inducer assembly vents products of combustion to
the outside.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch verifi es that the inducer is drawing
the combustion gases through the heat exchanger. If
the fl ame is not properly drawn into the heat exchanger
tube, the rollout switch or the fl ame sensor will shut the
furnace down.
Supply Air Limit Switch
The supply air limit switch prevents the air temperature
leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum
allowable outlet air temperature.

• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the control board fuse burned
open?
• Is the gas turned on?
• Are any manual reset switches open?
• Is the fi lter dirty or plugged?
• Is the fl ame sensor coated? (Remove and clean with steel wool).
• Are all the LED’s on the furnace control board constantly ON? If
not, refer to Tables 3 - 4 or the wiring diagram (Figure 17, page
24) to determine fault condition
IMPORTANT NOTE: The furnace will lock out after 5 failed
attempts for ignition and will try again every hour if the call
for heat remains.
• If the Inducer Blower is operating, and items above have been
verifi ed, check the Blower Limit Switch (Figure 18, page 27) and
reset if necessary.
• If the furnace operates when the Blower Limit Switch is reset,
contact a qualifi ed service technician to identify and repair the
problem.
• If the furnace still doesn’t operate, check the Flame Roll-out
Switches (Figure 18, page 27) and reset if necessary.
• If the furnace operates when the Flame Rollout Switch is reset,
contact a qualifi ed service technician to identify and repair the
problem.
