  3. Connect electrical: 120V AC power supply with proper grounding.
  4. Install venting: Use approved PVC piping for exhaust and intake.
  5. Connect ductwork: Secure all duct connections with proper sealing.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technician. Gas leaks can cause explosion or fire.

First-Time Setup

Power on furnace; follow startup sequence.

  1. Check gas connections: Verify all fittings are tight and leak-free.
  2. Set thermostat: Program desired temperature settings.
  3. Test ignition: Observe burner ignition sequence.
  4. Verify airflow: Check all vents and returns for proper airflow.
  5. Calibrate sensors: Allow system to run through initial calibration cycle.

CAUTION! Do not bypass safety controls. Ensure proper ventilation before operation.
