Tip: Regular inspection of vent pipes for blockage or damage is essential.

Operating Instructions

Normal operation controlled by thermostat.

1. Set thermostat to HEAT mode and desired temperature.
2. Furnace will initiate start-up sequence: inducer motor, pressure switch verification, igniter warm-up, gas valve opening.
3. Flame sensor confirms ignition; main burner operates.
4. Blower motor starts after heat exchanger warm-up period.
5. When thermostat satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for cool-down.
6. For continuous fan operation, set thermostat fan to ON position.

WARNING! If you smell gas, turn off furnace immediately and call qualified technician.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and safety.

1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
2. Annual: Professional inspection and cleaning.
3. Blower compartment: Clean annually, check belt tension if applicable.
4. Heat exchanger: Visual inspection for cracks or corrosion.
5. Vent system: Check for obstructions or damage.
6. Burners: Clean and inspect for proper flame pattern.

CAUTION! Turn off power and gas supply before performing any maintenance.
