ESET

Furnace lockout is characterized by a non-functioning fur-
nace (circulator blower may be running continuously) pro-
viding a  diagnostic LED code.  Lockout results when a fur-
nace control detects abnormal conditions.  If the furnace
is in “lockout”, it may be reset by any of the following
methods:

1. One hour automatic reset.  Control will automatically

reset itself and attempt to resume normal operations
following a one hour lockout period.
