Unit Start Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater.
A flood damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
Immediately call a qualified service 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.
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or
product or property damage. Should the
gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, shut off the gas valve to the
furnace before shutting off the electrical
supply.
Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
disconnect switch.
During blower operation, the ECM motor emits energy
that may interfere with pacemaker operation.
Interference is reduced by both the sheet metal cabinet
and distance.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to
startup to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either pour
10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow these steps
to prime the trap:
1. Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into
operation.
2. Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3. Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4. Adjust the thermostate to deactivate the heating
demand.
5. Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again allow
the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6. Ajust the thermostat to deactivate the heating demand
and again wait for the combustion air inducer to stop.
At this point, the trap should be primed with sufficient
water to ensure proper condensate drain operation.
