Operating instructions for Oil Gun Furnaces
If your furnace model number begins with M5S*,
the furnace is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burner. Do not try
to light this furnace manually.
1. Open all valves in the oil line.
2. Verify the fire door is closed.
3. Set the furnace On-Off switch to ON.
4. Set the thermostat to the desired setting.
NOTE: M5 oil gun furnaces may be converted to
gas gun in the field by using the proper conversion
kit listed in the RPL.
Operating instructions for Gas Gun Models
If your furnace model number begins with M1 B,
the furnace does not have a pilot. Ignition is
accomplished by a silicon carbide hot surface
ignitor. A control module takes care of all lighting
and timing functions. There are no external
relays or timing devices. Do not try to light this
furnace by hand. The control module is not
field serviceable.
1. Before operation, smell for gas all around the
furnace, especially near the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will settle
on the floor. If you detect gas, STOP and follow
all the safety instructions.
2. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
4. Turn off the gas valve:
Honeywell: push in the gas control knob
and turn clockwise to OFF (Figure 32).
Robertshaw: push the gas control lever to
OFF (Figure 33).The lever cannot be placed
in the off position unless it is pushed in
slightly. DO NOT FORCE!
5.Wait ten minutes to clear out any gas. If
you smell gas, STOP! and follow the safety
information. If gas is not detected, proceed to
the next step.

Burner Adjustments
Burner settings are made at the factory. However,
these settings may change during shipping,
handEing, and instaEEation. The following items
should be checked and readjusted if necessary.
Gas Pressure
The gas pressure can be checked with a
manometer at the pressure tap located on the
side of the gas valve. The gas valve pressure
regulator can be adjusted by removing the
regulator selector stack and turning the slotted
insert located directly under the selector stack.
The regulator selector stack must be secured
in place before each pressure reading is taken.
Natural gas manifold pressure should be 3.5"
W.C. and L.R gas manifold pressure should be
10" W.C. Replace the gas pressure tap plug on
the gas valve.
Pilot Flame (Standinq Pilot Only)
The pilot flame can be adjusted by turning the
pilot adjustment screw, located on top of the
gas valve (See Figure 30, page 20). The pilot
flame height should be between 3/4" and 1 ."The
flame tip should be visible just above the pilot
bracket when viewed through the observation
door. The same pilot orifice is used with both
natural and LP gas.
