INSTALLATION
(Continued)
Pressure Testing Furnace Gas
Connections
1. Open equipment shutoff valve (see
Figure 16).
2. Open main gas valve located on or
near gas meter.
3. Check all joints from equipment
shutoff valve to gas inlet pipe. Apply
mixture of liquid soap and water to
gas joints. Bubbles forming show a
leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.
5. Turn on furnace (see
Operating Fur-
nace).
Check the rest of the internal
joints for leaks.
6. Turn off furnace (see
To Turn Off Gas
to Furnace).
CONNECTING TO
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
IMPORTANT:
Follow all local codes when
connecting electricity to furnace. In the
absence of local codes, refer to the latest
edition of the
National Electrical Code
ANS/NFPA No. 70.
If you are not familiar
with wiring codes, have a qualified
electrician do the wiring.
It is best to plug furnace into a separate
and permanent electrical line circuit.
1. Supply a 120-volt, 60-cycle, grounded
outlet at furnace location.
2. The furnace has a three-pronged
(grounded) plug. Use only a
grounded, three-prong outlet.
IMPORTANT:
Some local codes require
rigid or semi-rigid conduit or metallic
sheathe cable. When using a semi-rigid
or metallic sheathe cable, the installer
must terminate the supply wire in the
terminal box opening.
Perform ance Check
Plug furnace into three-pronged outlet
and set thermostat to call for heat. If
ignitor remains on after main burner igni-
tion or if the valve chatters, you may have
reversed polarity.
1. Unplug furnace.
2. Turn off electricity to outlet.
3. Reverse 120-volt connections inside
outlet.
4. Turn on electricity to outlet.
5. Plug in furnace and set the thermostat
to call for heat. Ignitor should turn off
after main burner ignites. If ignitor
does not turn off, or if valve continues
to chatter, turn off furnace and unplug.
Call a qualified service person.
ATTACHING CABINET
FRONT GRILLE
CAUTION: Do not operate fur-
nace with front cover removed or
mounted wrong. If front cover is
mounted wrong, you cannot secure
it to cabinet with screws.
1. Hook top of front grille over top cabi-
net flange.
2. Secure the sides of front grille to lower
sides of furnace cabinet with two
screws provided (see Figure 17).
IMPORTANT:
You may have removed
furnace from furnace cabinet during
installation. You must correctly install
furnace within cabinet. If not, front grille
will not properly attach to cabinet. Make
sure gaskets for intake and exhaust tubes
are in place. Make sure intake and
exhaust tubes extend into vent caps on
cabinet back and are secured with screws
(see Figure 17A). Make sure you secured
flange on bottom of furnace to flange on
bottom front of cabinet.

OPERATING
FURNACE
WARNING: Furnace burner,
combustion chamber, and exhaust
port are very hot during operation.
Keep children and adults away from
hot surfaces to avoid burns and
clothing ignition. Carefully supervise
young children when they are in the
same room as furnace. Furnace will
remain hot for a time after shutdown.
Let surface cool before touching.
WARNING: Do not operate fur-
nace with front cover removed.
Unsafe operation could result.
CAUTION: Do not block circu-
lating air openings in the louver of
the front cover. This is necessary for
furnace to operate properly.
NOTICE: If operating furnace for the
first time, a slight odor will occur.
This odor will go away after a few
hours of operation.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE
LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow
these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a
pilot. It is equipped with an ignition
device which automatically lights
the burner. Do not try to light the
burner by hand.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all
around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor
because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch;
do not use any phone in your
building.
• Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the
handle on the equipment shutoff
valve. Never use tools. If the handle
will not turn by hand, don't try to
repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any
part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always follow lighting
instructions. Never attempt to light
burner with a match or butane torch.
1. STOP! Read the safety informa-
tion, column 1.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest
setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the
furnace.
4. Turn equipment shutoff valve
clockwise to
OFF
position
(see Figure 18).
5. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out
any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you
smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the
safety information, column 1. If you
don't smell gas, go to next step.
6. Turn equipment shutoff valve
counterclockwise to
ON
po-
sition (See Figure 18).
7. This furnace is equipped with an
i g n i t i o n d e v i c e w h i c h
automatically lights the burner. Do
not try to light the burner by hand.
8. Plug in furnace.
9. Set thermostat to desired setting. If
thermostat is set above room tem-
perature, the blower will come on.
10. Allow approximately 45 seconds
for ignition to occur. When ignition
occurs, the glo-bar will stay on for
a short period of time. The flame
sensing probe will sense the
burner flame and shut off glo-bar.
If ignition does not occur within 22
seconds, the ignition control will
attempt to light burner three times.
This will take about two minutes. If
ignition does not occur, the
ignition control will lock out the
glo-bar and valve circuit. Air in the
gas line or a short gas interruption
will prevent furnace from igniting. If
this happens, turn thermostat off
and wait 5 minutes. Turn the
thermostat back on. The furnace
will try to ignite again.
11. If the furnace still does not ignite,
follow instructions
To turn Off Gas
to Furnace.
Call a qualified service
person. Do not attempt to restart
furnace.
TO TURN OFF GAS
TO FURNACE
1. Set thermostat to lowest setting.
2. Turn equipment gas valve clock-
wise
to OFF position. Do not
force equipment gas valve.
3. Unplug furnace if service is to be
performed.
To Shut Dow n Furnace for an
Extended Period of Tim e
1. Turn equipment gas valve clock-
wise
to OFF position. Do not
force equipment gas valve.
2. Set Thermostat on OFF.
CAUTION: Do not try to adjust
heating levels by using the
equipment shutoff valve.
THERMOSTAT
CONTROL
OPERATION
The thermostat responds to the room
temperature. When the room temperature
drops below the thermostat setting, the
thermostat turns the furnace burner and
blower on. When the room temperature
goes above the thermostat setting, the
thermostat turns the furnace burner off.
The blower will continue to blow about two
to three minutes after the burner goes out.
The thermostat keeps the room at a
constant temperature.
