OPERATING YOUR UNIT

7.

Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas, then smell for
gas (including at the bottom of the unit near the ground).
If you smell gas, stop and follow the directions in
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS on page 1. If you
don’t smell gas, continue to next step.

8.

Turn the gas control knob, or slide the gas control
switch, to “ON”.

9.

Replace the burner compartment access panel.

10. Turn on all electric power to the unit.

11. Set the thermostat to the desired setting.

12. If the unit will not operate, follow the instructions found

below in To Turn Off Gas to Unit and call your service
technician or gas supplier.

Operating Sequence
When the thermostat calls for heat, the vent motor will purge
the system for 30 seconds (nominal). When the prepurge
time has expired, the gas valve will open for direct ignition.
When burners are lit, the flame sensor will sense flame and
keep the gas valve open. If the flame sensor does not
sense that a flame has been established, it will shut off the
gas valve. The ignition system is designed to go through
three trials for ignition. If flame still has not been established
after the third trial, the system will go into lockout. After 1
hour, the system will try three more times.

If the system goes into lockout, it can be reset by turning
your thermostat down or off for 10 seconds and then back
to the desired point.

When the room thermostat is satisfied, the electrical circuit
to the gas valve is opened and the burners are shut off.

Shutting Down the Unit
To shut down the unit, set the thermostat to the “OFF” position.

To Turn Off Gas to Unit
1.

Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2.

Turn off all electric power to the unit if service is to be
performed.

3.

Remove the burner compartment access panel.

4.

These units 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 the unit base because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle to the lowest point. See WHAT TO DO
IF YOU SMELL GAS
on page 1 if the odor of gas is present.

Use only your hand to slide the gas control switch; never
use tools.
If the switch will not move by hand, don’t try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
