THERMOSTAT
Room thermostats are delicate temperature-sensing con-
trols. Their main function is to energize and de-energize the
heating orcooling circuit to maintain the temperature setting
you select.
Many thermostats contain a room thermometer to indicate
the approximate room temperature, and atemperature scale
at the adjustment indicator to select the desired indoor air
temperature. In addition, most thermostats have a selector
mode switch with Heat, Off and Cool positions, and a fan
switch with On and Auto positions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Whenthe selector switch is positioned at Off your unit will not
operate in either heat or cool modes. Ifthe selector switch is
set at heat, the unit will automatically cycle on and off to
maintain the desired temperature settings. The unit will also
operate automatically when the selector switch is positioned

HEATING SYSTEM
HEATING CYCLE OPERATION
Your unit's heating system has a solid-state electronic
ignition control that lights thefurnace burners each time the
thermostat calls for heat. At the end of each heating cycle,
the furnace burners are extinguished. This type of system is
called Direct Spark Ignition (DSI).
A normal heating cycle begins when the air temperature in
your home drops below the thermostat setting. The thermo-
stat than energizes the heating electrical circuit that starts
and controls the furnace burners. Shortly after the burners
ignite, the indoor fan starts and circulates warm air through
your home.
When the air temperature rises to the thermostat setting, the
thermostatde-energizes the heating electrical circuit, which
in turn, extinguishes the furnace burners. The indoor fan
continues to circulate warm air until most of the heat is
removed from the unit's combustion chamber.
SAFETY CONTROLS
Your unit is equipped with an automatic reset safety limit
Controlto prevent overheating. When this control opens, it
shuts down the heating electrical circuit untilthe unit cools
downsufficiently.Inadequate airflow (i.e. caused by dirtyair
filters or defective fan motor), may cause the unit to cycle on
and off as the limitcontrol tripsand automatically resets. If
you suspect that the unit is cycling on its limit control,
immediately contact a serviceman for instructions.
Ifflames from the burner are notproperly drawn intothe heat
exchanger, a Flame Rollout Protection Control will open
causing the furnace to shut off. The cause must be investi-
gated by a qualifiedserviceman.
HEATING SYSTEM START-UP
Since your unit has an automatic ignition system, it is easy
to start the heating cycle at the beginning of the heating
season.
In order for this unit to operate properly and safely, the
furnace needs air for both combustion and ventilation.
Accordingly, observe the area in which the furnace is in-
stalled. Check to make sure that all the air openings are
unobstructed. Likewise, insure that the spacing around the
furnace it self is not blocked or obstructed.
fan will only operate when required during the heating or
cooling cycles.
To ensure that the thermostat operates properly, it must be
level and positioned to avoid the influence of such external
heat sources as lamps, televisions or other heat-producing
appliances.

AIR FILTERS
It is very important to keep the central duct system air filters
clean. Be sure to inspect them at least once each month
when the system is in constant operation. (In new homes,
check the filters at least ever week for the first 4 weeks.)
If you have disposable-type filters replace them with new
filter of the same type and size. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN DISPOSABLE FILTERS.
Permanent-type filters can be cleaned bywashing them with
a mild detergent and water. Make sure that the filters are
thoroughly dry before reinstalling them in the unit. (or duct
system).
NOTE: It may be necessary to replace permanent filter
annually if washing fails to clean the filter, or if the filter shows
signs of deterioration. Be sure to use the same type and size
as was originally installed.
UNIT CABINET
Even though the unit cabinet is designed to withstand
exposure to outdoor weather, you can extend the life of the
cabinet panel by cleaning and waxing then twice each year.
Application of a light coat of automobile wax is recom-
mended.
