BEFORE
STARTING
YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e.
chimney,
vent
connector)
are
clear
and
free
of
obstructions.
2. The vent connector
is in place, slopes upward
and is
physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return-air
duct connection(s)
is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support
of the furnace is sound without
sagging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There
are
no obvious
signs
of deterioration
of the
furnace.
STARTING
YOUR FURNACE
Your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system
to light the burners
each time the thermostat
signals the
furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
Never attempt to manually light the burners with a
match or other source of flame.
Figure 3 - Do Not Light Burner with Match
A92319
Read and follow the operating instructions on inside
of main furnace door, 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 safety information above on this
furnace label. If you don't smell gas, go to the next
step."
If a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas
control system, such as the burners do not light
when they should, refer to the shutdown procedures
on inside of main furnace door, or in the "Shutting
Down Your Furnace" section and call your dealer as
soon as possible.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, turn off the manual gas valve to the furnace
BEFORE turning
off the electrical
supply and install
lockout tag.
CHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your
furnace, be sure the furnace filter is clean and in
place. See "Performing Routine Maintenance"
section in this manual. Do not run the furnace
without a filter in place. Then proceed as follows:
STEPS FOR STARTING
YOUR FURNACE
