Unit Start-Up
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater.
A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control
system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or
to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or
product or property damage. Should the gas
supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace
before shutting off the electrical power.
WARNING
Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
disconnect switch.
CAUTION
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the furnace
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the unit is equipped with a gas control
switch (lever). Use only your hand to move switch. Never
use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not try to
repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
Placing the Furnace into Operation
This furnace is equipped with an automatic hot surface
ignition system. Do not attempt to manually light burners
on this furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the
burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot
when there is no call for heat on these units.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior
to start-up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either
pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow
these steps to prime the trap:
1. Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into
operation.
2. Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3. Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4. Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating
demand.
5. Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again
allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6. Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating demand
and wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. At this
point, the trap should be primed with sufficient water to
ensure proper condensate drain operation.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
