connector
is in place,
slopes
upward
and
is
physically
sound without
holes or excessive

STARTING
AND SHUTTING
DOWN
YOUR
FURNACE
Instead
of a continuously
burning
pilot
flame
which
wastes
valuable
energy,
your
furnace
uses
an automatic,
hot
surface
ignition
system
to light the burners
each time the thermostat
starts
your furnace.
Follow
these important
safeguards:
•
Never attempt
to manually
light the burners with a
match or other source of flame.

•
Read and follow the operating
instructions
on inside of
main furnace door, especially
the item that reads as
follows:
Wait 5 minutes
to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including
near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP!
Follow "B" in the safety information
above on this
furnace
label. If you don't smell gas, go to the next
step.
•
If a suspected
malfunction
occurs with your gas control
system, such as the burners
do not light when they
should,
refer to the shutdown
procedures
on inside of
main furnace door, or in the "Shutting
Down Your
Furnace"
section and call your dealer as soon as
possible.
FIRE
AND
EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure
to follow
this warning
could
result
in personal
injury/death
or property
damage.
Should
the gas supply
fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs,
turn
off the manual
gas valve
to the furnace
BEFORE
turning
off the electrical
supply.
(See Fig. 8.)
•
CHECK
AIR FILTER:
Before attempting
to start
your furnace,
be sure the furnace
filter is clean and in
place. See "Performing
Routine
Maintenance"
section
in this manual.
Then proceed
as follows:
