Steps For Starting Your Furnace - Bryant 330AAV User's Information Manual

Understand the signal words DAN-
GER, WARNING, and CAUTION.
These words are used with the safety-
alert symbol. DANGER identifies the
most serious hazards which will
result in severe personal injury or
death. WARNING signifies hazards
which could result in personal injury
or death. CAUTION is used to identify
unsafe practices which would result
in minor personal injury or product
and property damage.
STARTING YOUR
FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot
flame, your furnace uses an automatic
hot surface ignition system to light
the burners each time the thermostat
turns your furnace on. 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 the furnace, 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 above safety infor-
mation on this label. If you don't
smell gas, go to the next step."
WARNING
!
Should overheating occur or
the gas valves fail to shut off
the gas supply, turn off the
manual gas valve to the fur-
nace BEFORE turning off the
electrical supply. (See Fig. 8.)
A failure to follow this warning
could result in a fire or explo-
sion, and personal injury or
death.
• If a suspected malfunction occurs
with your gas control system, such as
the burners do not light when they
should, refer to the shutdown proce-
dures on the furnace or see "Shutting
Down your Furnace" section in this
manual, then call your dealer as soon
as possible.
• Check Air Filter: Before attempt-
ing to start your furnace, be sure
the furnace filter is clean and in place.
(See the maintenance section of
this manual.) Then proceed as
follows:

4. Remove the furnace access
door(s).
a. Downflow/Horizontal—Re-
move blower door after re-
moving 2 screws first, then
remove the control door.
(See Fig. 10.)
b. Upflow—Remove control
door. (See Fig. 11.)
5. The gas valve will have EITHER
a control knob or control switch to
turn off and on. Turn the control
knob or switch on the gas valve
to the OFF position and wait
5 minutes. (See Fig. 12 or 13.)
6. After waiting 5 minutes, turn
the control knob or switch on the
gas valve to the ON position.
(See Fig. 14 or 15.)
7. Replace the access door(s). See
Fig. 16 for upflow and Fig. 17
for downflow. Replace control
8
door first on downflow furnaces.
Replace blower door and secure
with 2 screws.
8. Turn on electrical supply to the
furnace. (See Fig. 18.)
9. Open the external manual gas
valve. (See Fig. 19.)
10. Set the room thermostat to a tem-
perature slightly above the room
temperature. This will automati-
cally signal the furnace to start.
The inducer motor will start, and
the hot surface ignitor will ener-
gize. When hot, the ignitor will
9
have an orange glow.
