Unit Start-Up - Lennox ML180UHA Installation Instructions Manual

Unit Start-Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under­
water. A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dan­
gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in
fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified ser­
vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace
all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical
parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace,
if deemed necessary.
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 mainte­
nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis­
connect switch.
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 ML180UHA 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:
ML180UHA 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 automatic
ignition system.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
