Power Switch

Both the ON/OFF power switch and the digital display will illuminate when power is switched ON. 
The furnace will begin to heat to its controller's current setpoint. (See the instructions for your type of 
controller for information on checking and setting the setpoint.)

Cycle Light shown on the display

The cycle light will illuminate whenever the power is being applied to the heating elements. The cycle 
light will turn on and off as the furnace reaches the setpoint.

Door Safety Switch

The door safety switch removes power from the heating elements when the door is opened. Open and 
close the door a few times; Note an acoustic click of the switch during opening and closing of the door. 
If this condition is not true, consult the Troubleshooting section before proceeding. This check must 
be done when the furnace is heating and the cycle light on the display is illuminated.
