Before placing furnace in service, it must be checked to make sure it is equipped for the type of gas being used. The burner flame must also be observed andadjusted if necesĆ sary. Failure to observe this caution may reĆ sult in unsafe operation, explosion, and/or fire or asphyxiation. See sections Gas SupĆ ply" and Combustion Air".
Use of furnace or air conditioning components that are not included in the Underwriter's LabĆ oratories certification of this appliance may create a hazard, will invalidate the certificaĆ tion, and will in many states make installation illegal.

WARRANTY AND RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the sole responsibility of the home owner to make certain that the gas furnace has beencorrectly set upand converted to the proper fuel (Propane or Natural gas) and adjusted to oper­ate properly.
The manufacturer warrants the fur­nace to be free fromdefectsinmateri­al or workmanship for the stated time in the warranty agreement (see war­ranty certificate packed with the fur­nace).
However, the manufacturer will not be responsible for any repair costs to correct problems due to improper set--up, improper installation, furnace adjustments, improper operating pro­cedure by the user, etc.
Some specific examples of service calls which cannot be included in war­ranty payments are:
1. Converting the furnace to use another type of gas.
2. Correcting faulty duct work in the home.
3. Correcting wiring problems in the electrical circuit to the furnace.
4. Resetting circuit breakers or oth­er switches.
5. Adjusting the burner air shutter or service calls made to correct problems caused by improper air adjustment.
6. Correcting problems caused by improper gas supply pressure to the furnace.
7. Instructional training on how to light and operate furnace.
8. Furnace problems caused by in­stallation of air conditioner, heat pump, or other air quality device which is not approved.
9. Problems caused by improper in­stallation of the furnace flue as­sembly (roof jack).
10. Adding a roof jack extension because of unusual wind condi­tions or snow conditions.
11. Adjusting or calibrating the ther­mostat.
12. Construction debris which has fallen into the flue or combustion air openings.
You should establish a firm under­standing of these responsibilities with your manufactured housing dealer, serv ice company or gas supplier so there will be nomisunderstanding at a later time.
GAS SUPPLY
The gas supply to your home will ei­ther be Natural Gas or Propane gas (bottle gas). Your furnace will be fac­tory equipped to operate on only one of these two different gases.
A small metal tag secured to the fur­nace next to the gas valve will specify thetypeofgasyourfurnaceis equipped to use.
If the gas is different from that speci­fied on the metal tag, the furnace can be converted by following the instruc­tions on the furnace safety label inside lower front panel. P arts for con­version are contained in the small cloth bag attached to the gas valve. Be sure the proper size orifice is used, as specified on the furnace name plate.
The furnace must be conĆ verted by a qualified techniĆ cian. Improper conversion can cause unsafe operation, explosion, and/or fire or asĆ phyxiation.
Natural Gas Operation
The furnace is designed for 7” W.C. inlet pressure. Pressure is reduced to 3 1/2” W.C. by the pressure regulator in the gas valve.
Propane Gas Operation
Inlet pressure to the gas valve must be 11”W.C. When properly converted to Propane gas, the pressure is regu­lated at 10” W.C.
SAFETY INFORMATION

A. The first lighting of the furnace af-
ter any home setup must be per­formed by a qualified service technician.
B. If this appliance has a pilot that
