MANUAL
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Read all instructions in this manual and retain this and all
additional instructions for future reference.
To keep your operating costs low and to eliminate
unnecessary service calls, we have provided a few
guidelines. These guidelines will help you understand
how your gas furnace operates and how to maintain it so
you can get years of safe and dependable service. Read
all the instructions in this manual, and keep all manuals
for future reference.
For your safety, read the following before operating your
furnace:
1. The furnace area must be kept clear and free
of combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Insulating materials may be combustible. A furnace
installed in an attic or other insulated space must be
kept free and clear of insulating materials. Examine
the furnace when it is installed and also any time
insulation is added.
3. For proper safe operation, the furnace needs air
for combustion and ventilation. Do not block or
obstruct air openings to the area in which the
furnace is installed, and the spacing around the
furnace.
4. This furnace is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burners.
5. Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if
overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the
furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.
6. Do not use the furnace if any part has been under
water. A flood damaged furnace is extremely
dangerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result
in fire or explosion. A qualified service agency
should be contacted to inspect the furnace and
to replace all gas controls, control system parts,
electrical parts that have been wet, or the entire
furnace if deemed necessary.
7. Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
• All flue gas carrying areas external to the
furnace, such as the chimney and vent
connector, are clear and free of obstructions.
• Vent connector is in place, slopes upward, and
is physically sound without holes or excessive
corrosion.
INFORMATION
• Return air duct connection(s) is physically
sound, sealed to the furnace casing, and
terminates outside the space containing the
furnace.
• Physical support of the furnace is sound
without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc. around the
base as to provide a seal between the support
and the base.
• There are no obvious signs of deterioration of
the furnace.
• Burner flames are in good adjustment.
8. It is important that you conduct a physical
inspection of the furnace at least twice a year. It
is also recommended that the furnace should be
inspected by a qualified service agent at least once
per year.

GAS

1. Do not try to light any appliance
2. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building

department.
10.2 OPERATING YOUR FURNACE
These furnaces are equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light
the burners by hand.
Before operating, smell around furnace area for gas. Be
sure to smell near floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the lowest point. See section
10 if the odour of gas is present. Use only your hand to
turn the gas control knob; never use tools. If the knob
will not turn by hand, don't try to repair it. Call a qualified
service technician. Attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion.
