9. Open the external manual gas valve. See Fig. 14.

10. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly above the
room temperature. This will automatically signal the furnace
to start.
11. When the furnace receives the start signal, the inducer is star-
ted. When the pressure switch senses that there is sufficient
combustion air, the hot surface igniter is energized.
After the hot surface igniter is heated for 17 seconds, the gas
valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After ignition
and a time delay of about 60 sec, the furnace blower will start.
Variable- -capacity furnaces start at low speed until the control
makes the necessary adjustments to operate the blower at
either the low- - or high- -heat speed.
NOTE: If the main burners fail to ignite after four attempts, the
furnace control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main
burners fail to light, or blower does not come on, shut down the
furnace and call your dealer for service.
12. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your
comfort requirements. SUGGESTION: Setting the thermo-
stat back a few degrees—and compensating for the differ-
ence with warmer clothing—can make a big difference in
your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. The few de-
grees at the top of your thermostat "comfort level" are the
most costly degrees to obtain.
When the room temperature drops below the temperature selected
on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on automatically. When
the room temperature reaches the setting selected on the thermostat,
the furnace will be automatically switched off.
Continuous Fan Operation - -Some thermostats have a "FAN"
switch with 2 selections: AUTO and ON. When thermostat is set
on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, controlled by the
thermostat. In ON position, the furnace blower runs continuously.
Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your home more
evenly balanced. It also continuously filters the indoor air.

Comfort Fant - - On all but the base series furnace, the blower
speed can be increased or decreased if desired due to change of
seasons, large gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your
FAN from ON to OFF for 1 to 3 seconds (or AUTO depending on
your thermostat), and then return to ON. The blower will switch to
the next higher speed. There are at least three speeds to choose
from. If the blower is running on its highest speed, a request to
change will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.
