Unit Star-Up
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater.
Immediately call a licensed professional service
technician (or equivalent) to inspect the furnace and
to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
WARNING
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off,
shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance before
shutting off electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance,
turn the electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect switch.
WARNING
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits
energy that may interfere with pacemaker operation.
Interference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
BEFORE LIGHTING
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. The gas
valve on the SL280UHV unit will be equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch.
Never use tools. If the switch will not turn or if the control
switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it.
Placing the furnace into operation:
SL280UHV units are equipped with an automatic ignition
system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on these
furnaces. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the
burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get
hot when there is no call for heat on units with an automat-
ic ignition system.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
