Start-Up Procedure And Adjustment; Furnace Operation; Furnace Start - Up; Furnace Shutdown - Amana AMV8 Installation Instructions Manual

XII. START-UP PROCEDURE AND ADJUSTMENT
Furnace must have a 115 VAC power supply properly connected
and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct
operation. An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the
blower door is not in place. Keep the blower access door in place
except for inspection and maintenance.
This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing electronic
control module. In the event a furnace component is not operating
properly, the control module LED will flash on and off in a factory-
programmed sequence, depending on the problem encountered.
This light can be viewed through the observation window in the
blower access door. Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart for further
explanation of the lighting codes.
Follow the start-up and adjustment items, refer to further
information in Section XIII, Operational Checks.

URNACE OPERATION
Purge gas lines of air prior to start-up. Do not purge lines into an
enclosed burner compartment.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved
method. Verify that all required kits (propane gas, high altitude,
etc.) have been appropriately installed.
NOTE: An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the blower
door is not in place. Keep the blower access doors in place
except for inspection and maintenance.
