It can take up to 1 hour for the unit
to cool down enough for the blower
to shut off. If it takes longer than 2
hours for the blower to shut off or if
it fails to shut off contact your local
Magnum service technician.
Tapping on the switch will free up a
sticky switch. Make sure electrical
is unplugged
The leading reason that the appliance shuts down, will not produce heat or runs erratically is because the venting, fresh air or
ducting system was not installed properly. If the ducting system is correct, the venting system balanced and the fuel is clean
and dry, the furnace will operate as designed.
