• Do not use the furnace if any part of the furnace has been under

water.  A  flood-damaged  furnace  is  extremely  dangerous.
Attempts  to  use  the  furnace  can  result  in  fire  or  an  explosion.
Contact a qualified service agency 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 necessary.

• Before  each  heating  season,  inspect  the  flue  gas  vent  and  the

return and supply air duct, and make sure that the equipment is
well supported and there are no signs of deterioration. The manu-
facturer  recommends  that  the  main  burner,  ignition  device,  and
controls  are  inspected  by  a  qualified  furnace  technician  before
each heating season.

• This heating/cooling unit is designed for outdoor use. Install the

unit anywhere from grade level to the roof. The unit provides elec-
tric air conditioning in the summer and gas heating in the winter. 

• Do not allow snow to accumulate near the furnace where it could

block the flue gas vent or the combustion air intake.

SYSTEM OPERATION

THERMOSTAT

To set your thermostat for heating or cooling:
1. Set  the  comfort  control  switch  on  the  thermostat  to  the  HEAT  or

COOL position

2. Set the thermostat to the required temperature. 

Note:

  Do  not  turn  on  the  thermostat  and  turn  off  the  thermostat  or

switch  between  heating  and  cooling  modes  in  rapid  succession.  This
could damage your equipment. 
Always  allow  at  least  5  min  between  changes  to  thermostat  settings.
Find the temperature that is most comfortable for you, and refrain from
adjusting your thermostat unnecessarily. You can adjust the thermostat
for nighttime or periods when you are on vacation to conserve energy.
Be aware of the following:

• Manually increasing or decreasing the temperature setting on the

thermostat  does  not  speed  up  temperature  changes  in  your
home. This only causes the thermostat switch to function at your
command rather than responding to room temperature.

• Heat  generated  by  devices  other  than  the  furnace  can  interfere

with  thermostat  performance,  so  do  not  place  items  such  as
lamps, radios, and television sets near the thermostat.

SPARK IGNITION DEVICE

The  unit  is  equipped  with  a  spark  ignition  device.  The  control  is
designed to automatically light the burner each time the thermostat calls
for heat.

HEATING

For heating operation, set the comfort control switch on the thermostat
to the HEAT position and set the thermostat to the required tempera-
ture. When the indoor temperature drops below the selected tempera-
ture on the thermostat, the system starts. The heating system operates
and the indoor circulating fan circulates the filtered air. When the room
temperature  rises  to  the  selected  temperature  on  the  thermostat,  the
system shuts off. 
See  the  INDOOR  CIRCULATING  FAN  section  for  more  information
about fan operation.

COOLING

For cooling operation, set the comfort control switch on the thermostat
to the COOL position and set the thermostat to the required tempera-
ture. 
When the thermostat calls for cooling, the thermostat signals the com-
pressor and outdoor fan to run. The indoor circulating fan is immediately
energized at cooling speed. 
When the thermostat demand is satisfied, the compressor and outdoor
fan are de-energized. The indoor circulating fan is de-energized after a
cool fan off delay time of 30 s.
See  the  INDOOR  CIRCULATING  FAN  section  for  more  information
about fan operation. 

INDOOR CIRCULATING FAN

For indoor fan operation, you can set the fan switch on the thermostat
as follows: 

• ON: If you set the fan switch to the ON position, the indoor circu-

lating fan operates continuously, regardless of whether heating or
cooling operation is in progress. The fan does not shut off when
there is no heating or cooling operation.

• AUTO: If you set the fan switch to the AUTO position, the indoor

circulating fan operates only during heating or cooling operation.
The fan shuts off when there is no heating or cooling operation. 

When the thermostat calls for fan operation, the thermostat terminal sig-
nals the indoor circulating fan to run at the selected fan speed. If a call
for cooling occurs, the indoor circulating fan switches to the cool speed.
If a call for heat occurs, the indoor circulating fan switches to the heat
speed after a 30-s delay. 
When the thermostat ends the call for fan operation, the indoor circulat-
ing fan is de-energized.

INPUT

The correct heat capacity of the furnace is regulated by the burner ori-
fices  and  the  gas  pressure.  The  proper  orifices  are  provided  but  the
installing service technician or gas company must adjust the gas pres-
sure regulator. This is a one-time adjustment.

 CAUTION

Do not attempt to manually light the burners. Personal injury could
result.

 WARNING

Should overheating occur, shut off the manual gas valve external to
the appliance before shutting off the electrical supply.

!

 WARNING

The flue hood surface and the immediate area surrounding it are
designed to operate at high temperatures during the heating cycle.
Take special care to prevent human contact with this area and keep
debris away from this area.

 WARNING

Incorrect installation of the flue vent hood could cause personal injury
or property damage.
