Lighting instructions.
Your furnace does not use a continuously burning pilot
fl ame. 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.
