Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior
to start-up 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 thermostat 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 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating
demand and 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.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Gas Valve Operation (Figure 62)
1 - |STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning
of this section.
2 - Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 - Turn off all electrical power to the unit.
4 - This furnace is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to
light the burners by hand.
5 - Remove the access panel.
6 - Move gas valve switch to OFF. See Figure 62.
7 - Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then
smell gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.
8 - Move gas valve switch to ON. See Figure 62.

9 - Replace the access panel.
10- Turn on all electrical power to to the unit.
11- Set the thermostat to desired setting.
NOTE - When unit is initially started, steps 1 through
11 may need to be repeated to purge air from gas
line.
12- If the appliance will not operate, follow the
instructions "Turning Off Gas to Unit" and call your
service technician or gas supplier.
Turning Off Gas to Unit
1 - Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2 - Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is to
be performed.
3 - Remove the access panel.
4 - Move gas valve switch to OFF.
5 - Replace the access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 - Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 - Are access panels securely in place?
3 - Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 - Is there a blown fuse or tripped breaker?
5 - Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters
will cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 - Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 - Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 - Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?
9 - Is the unit ignition system in lockout? If the unit locks
out again, inspect the unit for blockages.
Heating Sequence Of Operation
1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air
inducer starts.
2 - Combustion air pressure switch proves blower
operation. Switch is factory set and requires no
adjustment.
3 - After a 15-second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor
energizes.
4 - After a 20-second ignitor warm-up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens. A 4-second trial for ignition

period begins."

5 - Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and

the combustion process continues.
6 - If flame is not detected after first ignition trial, the
ignition control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four
more times before locking out the gas valve
("WATCHGUARD" flame failure mode). The ignition
control will then automatically repeat steps 1 through
6 after 60 minutes. To interrupt the 60-minute
"WATCHGUARD" period, move thermostat from
"Heat" to "OFF" then back to "Heat". Heating
sequence then restarts at step 1.
