airfl ow rate for the capacity. Detailed operation is
described in the cooling unit installation instruc-
tions and control manual.
Verifying and Adjusting
Temperature Rise
Verify that the temperature rise through the
furnace is within the range specifi ed on the
furnace rating plate. Temperature rises outside
the specifi ed range could result in premature
heat exchanger failure.
Place temperature measuring device in the return
and supply air stream as close to the furnace
as possible. The device on the supply air side
must be shielded from direct radiation from the
heat exchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust
all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for fi fteen minutes
before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the
supply and return air temperatures.

Verifying Burner Operation

To verify operation of the burners, make sure
that the blower compartment door is in place
and that there is power to the furnace. Set

the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the ignition sequence. The fl ame can
be observed through the small clear window
on the burner box. The fl ames should be blue,
without yellow tips. Flames should extend from
each burner without lifting, curling, or fl oating.
After verifying ignition, set the thermostat below
room temperature and verify that the burner fl ame
extinguishes completely.
Verifying Operation of the Supply
Air Limit Switch
To verify operation of the supply air limit switch,
make sure that the blower door is in place and
that there is power to the furnace. Completely
block the return airfl ow to the furnace by install-
ing a close-off plate in place of or upstream
of the fi lter(s). Set the thermostat above room
temperature and verify that the Sequence of
Operation is as described in these instructions.
The supply air limit switch should function to
turn off the gas valve within approximately fi ve
minutes. The circulating air and combustion blow-
ers should continue to run when the supply air
limit switch opens. Remove the close-off plate
immediately after the supply air limit switch opens.
If the furnace operates for more than fi ve minutes
with no return air, set the thermostat below room
