Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper location with adequate clearance.

  1. Position furnace: Place on stable, level surface with proper clearances.
  2. Connect gas supply: Use approved gas piping and fittings; pressure test for leaks.
  3. Connect electrical: 120V AC power supply with proper grounding.
  4. Connect venting: Install approved PVC vent pipes according to local codes.
  5. Connect thermostat: Use standard 5-wire or 8-wire thermostat cable.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technician. Gas connections require leak testing. Ensure proper venting to prevent carbon monoxide hazards.

First-Time Setup

Power on furnace; follow startup sequence.

  1. Verify gas supply: Ensure gas valve is open and pressure is correct.
  2. Check electrical: Confirm proper voltage and grounding.
  3. Test operation: Set thermostat to heat mode and raise temperature.
  4. Monitor startup: Listen for proper ignition sequence.
  5. Check airflow: Verify proper air delivery through registers.
  6. Set blower speeds: Adjust dip switches for proper airflow.

CAUTION! Do not bypass safety controls. If furnace fails to start, check error codes and consult troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Furnace won't startPower/thermostatCheck circuit breaker; verify thermostat settings; ensure door switch engaged.
No heatGas supply/ignitionVerify gas valve open; check for ignition failure; inspect flame sensor.
Blower not runningMotor/controlCheck blower motor; verify control board signals; inspect capacitor.
Short cyclingFilters/ventingReplace dirty filter; check for blocked vents; verify proper airflow.
Error codes flashingSystem faultsCount flash pattern; consult error code chart; reset if applicable.

Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore power.

Service: Contact qualified HVAC technician for all gas and electrical repairs.
