DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with
LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak,
LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may
be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector
should be installed in all LP applications.
Do not attempt to bleed the gas lines of air. Call your
local gas provider.
Lighting Information & Operation
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit,
smell all around the ap-
pliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be-
cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
The gas valve on the G43UF will be equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch. Nev-
er use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not try to
repair it. Call a licensed professional service technician (or
equivalent). Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
Placing the G43UF furnace into operation:
G43UF units are equipped with an ignition system. Do not
attempt to manually light burners on this furnace. Each
time the thermostat calls for heat, the burners will automati-
cally light. The ignitor does not get hot when there is no call
for heat on units with this ignition system.
