Stop! Read the safety information.
b.
Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
c.
Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

Push in the gas control lever slightly and move left to
“OFF.” DO NOT FORCE.
e.
Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas, STOP! Follow step “d” in the SAFETY INFORMA-
TION. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
f.
Find pilot - follow metal tube (pilot tube) from gas control
valve. Open hinged fire observation door. The pilot is

Slightly depress the gas control lever and move it right to
the “ON” position and release; then move it to the “PILOT”
position.
h.
Move the control lever to “SET” and hold. Immediately
light the pilot with a match. If this furnace is equipped with
a Piezo Ignitor, activate spark lever/button several times
until flame is visible through observation door. Continue
to hold the control lever for about one (1) minute after the
pilot is lit. Release the lever and it will spring back to the
“PILOT” position. Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out,
repeat steps “d” through “h” above. If the lever does not
spring back when released, stop and immediately call
your service technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will not
stay lit after several tries, move the gas control lever to
“OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

Leak Check
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all connections
must be tested for gas leaks. To check for leaks use only a
soap and water solution or other approved method.
NOTE: When pressure testing gas supply lines at pres-
sures greater than 1/2 psig (14 in. water column), the
furnace must be disconnected from the gas supply pip-
ing system to prevent damage to the gas control valve.
If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2 psig (14 in.
water column), the furnace must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing off the main shut-off valve.
CAUTION:
!
Do not use matches, lighters, candles or other
sources of open flame to check for gas leaks.
