(Furnace shown in upflow position; may be used in downflow or horizontal orientation or applications.)

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing of heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be performed by trained service personnel. Observe safety precautions in this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace and other safety precautions that may apply.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol !. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, damage to your furnace, or improper operation, carefully follow these safety rules which apply to both direct-vent and non-direct vent applications:

• Your new gas furnace may have been installed in one of two ways, as a direct-vent (2-pipe-Fig. 2) application or as a non-direct vent (1-pipe-Fig. 3) application.
• In a direct-vent (2-pipe) application, your furnace uses air from outside the home for combustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. This type of application will have two pipes running from the furnace to the outdoors. In some cases, the inlet air pipe may be located in an area that has access to outdoor air, such as an attic. In all cases, the outlet vent pipe must be routed to the outdoors (see Fig. 2). In this application, the vent and air-intake pipes must terminate outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. Do not block or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around furnace.
• In a non-direct vent (1-pipe) application, your furnace uses air from adjacent to the furnace for combustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. This type of application will have only one pipe running from the furnace to the outdoors (see Fig. 3). The other pipe will terminate in the same space as the furnace and is the source of combustion air for your furnace. Therefore, the furnace must not be enclosed in an airtight room or be sealed behind solid doors. It must have adequate airflow for efficient combustion and safe ventilation. Do not obstruct the combustion-air pipe in any way. The vent pipe must terminate outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. Do not block or obstruct air openings or space around furnace.

Diagram showing exterior vent pipes (Fig. 2) and interior combustion air pipe (Fig. 3).

! WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow warnings could result in personal injury, death, or property damage. Keep insulation clear of furnace and maintain clearances shown on unit clearance label. Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.

Diagram illustrating NO combustible materials near furnace (Fig. 4).

Keep the area around your furnace clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.

Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.

! WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow instructions could result in severe personal injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning, if combustion products infiltrate into the building. Check that all openings in the outside wall around the vent (and air intake) pipe(s) are sealed to prevent infiltration of combustion products into the building. Check that furnace vent (and air intake) terminal(s) are not obstructed in any way during all seasons.

! CAUTION

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit operation. For proper and safe operation the furnace needs air for combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct air openings on the furnace, air opening to the area in which the furnace is installed, and the space around the furnace.

In addition to the safety rules above, make sure that the following combustion-air requirements are met for non-direct vent applications:

• Combustion air must be clean and uncontaminated with chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present in many products around the home, such as: water softener salts, laundry bleaches, detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes, and plastics.
• Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers may deteriorate.
• A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the furnace area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is added. Some insulation materials may be combustible.
• Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off electrical supply.

This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for an extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See "Before You Request a Service Call" section in this manual.

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 gaps.
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.
6. The burner flames are in good adjustment (see Fig. 5) (by comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the main burner flame).

Diagram showing burner flame adjustment (Fig. 5).

STARTING YOUR FURNACE

! WARNING

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.

Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes valuable energy, 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.

Illustration showing "Do Not Light Burner with Match" (Fig. 6).

• 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 on 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.
• 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

1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting and set the "MODE" to "OFF" (see Fig. 7).

Illustration of thermostat set to lowest temperature (Fig. 7).

2. Close the external manual gas valve (see Fig. 8).

Illustration showing how to close the gas valve (Fig. 8).

3. Turn OFF electrical supply to the furnace (see Fig. 9).

Illustration showing how to turn off electrical supply (Fig. 9).

4. Remove the main furnace door (see Fig. 10).

Illustration showing how to remove the main furnace door (Fig. 10).

5. Turn the control switch on the gas control to the OFF position and wait five minutes (see Fig. 11). Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" on furnace label. If you don't smell gas, go to next step.

Illustration of gas control switch in the OFF position (Fig. 11).

6. After waiting five minutes, turn control switch on the gas control to the ON position. Turn the control switch to ON (see Fig. 12).

Illustration of gas control switch in the ON position (Fig. 12).

7. Replace main furnace door (see Fig. 13).

Illustration showing the furnace door replaced (Fig. 13).

8. Turn ON the electrical supply to the furnace and wait one minute (see Fig. 14).

Illustration showing how to turn on electrical supply (Fig. 14).

9. Open the external manual gas valve (see Fig. 15).

Illustration showing how to open the gas valve (Fig. 15).

10. Set the room thermostat "MODE" to "HEAT" and adjust the set point to a temperature slightly above the room temperature. This will automatically signal the furnace to start.

When the furnace receives the start signal, the combustion air draft inducer is started. When the pressure switch senses that there is sufficient combustion air, the hot surface igniter is energized. After the hot surface igniter is heated for about 20 seconds, the gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After ignition and a time delay of up to 60 seconds, the furnace blower will start. Variable-capacity furnaces start at low speed until the control makes the necessary adjustments to operate the blower at either the low- or high-heat speed.

NOTE: If the main burners fail to ignite after four attempts, the furnace control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main burners fail to light, or blower does not come on, shut down the furnace and call your dealer for service.

Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your comfort requirements.

SUGGESTION: Setting the thermostat back a few degrees and compensating for the difference with warmer clothing can make a big difference in your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. The few degrees at the top of your thermostat “comfort level" are the most costly degrees to obtain.

When the room temperature drops below the temperature selected on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on automatically. When the room temperature reaches the setting selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be automatically switched off.

Continuous Fan Operation -Some thermostats have a "FAN" switch with two selections: AUTO and ON. When the thermostat is set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, controlled by the thermostat. In ON position, the furnace blower runs continuously. Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your home more evenly balanced. It also continuously filters the indoor air.

On all but the base series furnace, the blower speed can be increased or decreased if desired due to change of seasons, large gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your FAN from ON to OFF for 1 to 3 seconds (or AUTO depending on your thermostat), and then return to ON. The blower will switch to the next higher speed. There are at least three speeds to choose from. If the blower is running on its highest speed, a request to change will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.

SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE

Should you need to shut down your furnace for service or maintenance, you will need to turn the furnace off. The following procedures must be followed:

1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting and set the "MODE" to "OFF" (see Fig. 16).

Illustration of thermostat set to lowest temperature (Fig. 16).

2. Close the external manual gas valve (see Fig. 17).

Illustration showing how to close the external manual gas valve (Fig. 17).

3. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace (see Fig. 18).

Illustration showing how to turn off electrical supply (Fig. 18).

4. Remove main furnace door (see Fig. 10).

5. Turn control switch on the gas control to "OFF" position (see Fig. 11).

6. Replace main furnace door (see Fig. 13).

7. If the furnace is being shut down because of a malfunction, call your dealer as soon as possible.
