Lighting instructions.
Your furnace does not use a continuously burning pilot
flame. Therefore, manually lighting your furnace is not re-
quired. Your furnace is equipped with an automatic ignition
system. It uses a hot surface ignition device that automati-
cally lights the burners each time the thermostat signals the
furnace to start.

If the furnace is shut down during the cold weather
months, provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of
all water pipes and water receptacles.
1. Please read all safety information in this book before
operating furnace.
2. Set thermostat to lowest setting. Turn off all electric
power to furnace.
3. Remove the furnace front panel to gain access to the
main gas valve.
4. Turn gas cock knob clockwise or the toggle switch
located on the main gas valve inside the unit to “OFF”
position (see illustration on this page). If external gas
cock is used, turn to “OFF” position (see illustration on
next page). Allow 5 minutes for any gas within the unit
to escape. LP gas being heavier than air may require
forced ventilation.
If you smell gas STOP! Follow
the “What To Do If You Smell Gas” instructions
on the front cover of this book. If you don’t smell
gas, go to next step.
5. Turn gas cock knob counterclockwise or the toggle
switch to “ON” marker (see illustration on this page).
Turn the external gas cock back to the on position if
you expect the furnace to light.
6. Replace the furnace front access panel.
7. Turn on main electrical supply and set thermostat to de-
sired setting. Combustion blower will start and ignition
device will start to heat up. After approximately 15 sec-
onds main gas valve will open and burners will ignite.
8. When thermostat is satisfied, main burners will
extinguish.
9. Restore electrical supply panel. If main burners fail
to ignite, lower Comfort Control setting or disconnect
electrical supply, wait 5 minutes, raise Comfort Control
setting above indicated temperature.
10. If furnace will not light, turn “OFF” all gas and elec-
tricity to unit and call servicer or gas supplier.
For complete shutdown.
Turn gas cock knob on main gas valve to “OFF” position.
Disconnect electrical supply to unit.
Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have
someone inspect your house for proper temperature. If your
furnace should fail to operate, damage could result, such as
frozen water pipes.

All models are equipped with a manual resetting roll-out
switch located near the burners. In case of flame roll-out,
the switch trips automatically shutting off all flow of gas.
The switch must be manually reset by pressing the red
reset button on the top of the switch.
