HEATING & COOLING

58ED,PB

Horizontal Gas-Fired Furnaces

All forced air furnaces are equipped with a high

temperature limit switch which prevents the furnace
from overheating. If the furnace overheats for any
reason, the high temperature limit opens, breaking the
circuit to the gas valve. The blower motor continues to

run. The main burners cycle on limit until the fault is
corrected.

A WARNING

If overheating occurs, or if the gas supply fails to
shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace
before shutting off the electrical supply.

The furnace is equipped with either Honeywell S86E or

S86G intermittent pilot control.

S86E control. If the pilot fails to light, the pilot valve

and spark gap remain energized until there is a successful
ignition.

S86G control: If the pilot fails to light, the control

will shut down the system. To initiate a reignition
trial, turn down the thermostat to lowest setting, wait
at least 60 seconds, and then reset thermostat to a setting
above room temperature.

Starting Procedure

STANDING PILOT MODELS

1. Set the manual gas shutoff valve at OFF position.

Wait 5 minutes.

2. Be sure all electrical power to furnace is off.

3

Check all wiring using proper wiring diagram on

inside of blower door.

4. Light the pilot by following instructions on lighting

plate. (Main burners should not light.)

a) Remove burner cover.
b) Turn manual gas shutoff valve to PILOT position.
c) Depress dial, light pilot with a match or taper.

Keep dial depressed until pilot remains lit after

dial is released (approximately 30-45 seconds).
If pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation,
allowing a longer period before releasing dial.

d) Replace burner cover.

5. Adjust pilot flame to envelop the thermocouple a

distance of 3/8 to 1/2 inch. The adjusting screw for
pilot flame is located on main gas control. With
standing pilot, rate is approximately 1000 Btuh.
See Pig. 13.

6.

With the pilot lit, set thermostat above room

temperature.

7. Turn on power supply to furnace. This energizes

gas valve which should click open. The burners
should not light.

Open the manual gas valve on the automatic gas
valve. Burners should light and remain on.

Check for leaks in manual valve, gas control valve
and gas connections using soap and water solution.

A CAUTION

Never use an open flame when testing for leaks.

Use soap and water solution.

lO. Leave burners on for 15 minutes before making

combustion adjustment

ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODELS

1. Set the manual gas shutoff valve at OFF position.

Wait 5 minutes.

2. Be sure all electrical power to furnace is off

3

Check all wiring using proper wiring diagram on

inside of blower door.

4 Set thermostat above room temperature.

5. Turn on power supply to furnace. This energizes the

pilot valve and spark igniter. The burners should

not light.

6. Turn dial on gas valve to ON position. The pilot

should light. When the sensing probe detects the
presence of pilot flame, the control de-energizes
spark igniter and energizes main gas valve. Main
burners should light and remain on. (If system shuts
down

on

S86G

control,

a

reignition

trial

is

necessary.)

7. Check for leaks in manual valve, gas control valve

and gas connections using a soap and water solution.

A

CAUTION

Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks. Use a soap and water solution.

8 Leave burners on for 15 minutes before making a

combustion adjustment.

Combustion Adjustment

ALL FURNACES — A primary air shutter assembly is
provided on all furnaces. The shutters are factory set for
natural gas furnaces and a closed position for LP gas

furnaces. Readjustment may be required to obtain
optimum setting. Shutters are individual to each burner,
so adjustment of the burner flame must be done one
burner at a time. See Fig. 14.

Loosen the locking screw and close the air shutter.

This should cause the burner flame to glow bright yellow
Open the shutter until the flame turns blue. Lock the
locking screw. See Fig. 15 for proper flame. Repeat this
procedure until all burners are properly adjusted. A
visual check of the main burner and pilot flame should
be made at the beginning of each heating season.

Safety Pilot Check

For Standing Pilot Models

Only. After operating for 15 minutes, turn the valve to

the OFF position. The pilot switch should snap open
between 20 seconds and 3 minutes later. To re-ignite
pilot, follow the nameplate instructions.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
