ting. (See Figure 6.)

2. Close the external manual gas valve. (See Figure 7.)

3. Tbrn OFF the electrical supply to the furnace. (See Figure

5. After waiting 5 minutes, turn the control knob on the gas

.)

7. Open the external manual gas valve. (See Figure 11.)

8. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly above

room temperature. This will automatically signal the fur­

nace to start. The inducer motor will start, and the hot sur­

face ignitor will energize. When hot, the ignitor will have

an orange glow.

9. After 30 to 58 seconds, the gas valve permits gas to flow to

the main burners where it is ignited. Hot flames begin to

warm the furnace’s heat exchanger. After a time delay of

approximately 60 seconds, the furnace blower is switched

on.

NOTE:

If the main burners fail to ignite, the furnace control

system will go through three more ignition cycles. Then, if

burners fail to ignite, the system will lockout. If lockout occurs,

or the blower doesn’t come on, shut down your furnace and call

your dealer for service.

10. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your

comfort requirements. SUGGESTION: Setting the ther­

mostat back a few degrees—and compensating for the dif­

ference with warmer clothing—can make a big difference

in your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. The few

degrees at the top of your thermostat “comfort level” are

the most costly degrees to obtain.

When the room temperature drops below the temperature

selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be switched on

automatically. When the room temperature reaches the

degree selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be au­

tomatically switched off.

Some thermostats have a “fan” switch with two selections:

AUTO or ON. When set on AUTO, the furnace blower cy­

cles on and off, controlled by the thermostat. In the ON

position, the furnace blower runs continuously except for a

60 second delay at the “call for heat.” This keeps the tem­

perature level in your home more evenly balanced. It also

continuously filters the indoor air.
