Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Position in approved location with proper clearances.

  1. Gas connection: Use approved pipe and fittings; pressure test for leaks.
  2. Electrical connection: Connect to 120V AC dedicated circuit with proper grounding.
  3. Vent system: Install PVC vent pipes according to local codes and manufacturer specifications.
  4. Air intake: Ensure proper combustion air supply.
  5. Condensate drain: Connect to approved drain with trap.

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. System check: Control board performs self-diagnostic; check LED status lights.
  2. Thermostat setup: Connect compatible thermostat; set heating mode and temperature.
  3. Gas pressure adjustment: Verify and adjust manifold pressure per specifications.
  4. Airflow calibration: Set blower speeds for heating mode.
  5. Test operation: Initiate heating cycle to verify proper function.

CAUTION! Ensure proper ventilation and gas connections before operation.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access control board via front panel. Status LEDs indicate system operation and error codes.

Control Board LEDs: Power (green), Heat (yellow), Error (red), Service (amber).

Temperature Settings: Adjust via thermostat. Blower Settings: Heating speed adjustable via dip switches. Gas Pressure: Factory set; adjustable by technician. Diagnostic Codes: Flash patterns indicate specific issues for troubleshooting.

Connecting Thermostat

Compatible with most 24V thermostats. Standard connections: R, W, G, Y, C.

  1. Turn off power to furnace before wiring.
  2. Remove thermostat subbase to access terminal connections.
  3. Connect wires according to thermostat manufacturer instructions.
  4. Restore power; test thermostat operation.

Tip: Use programmable thermostat for maximum energy savings.

Operating Modes

Heating mode only; compatible with cooling when paired with AC coil.

  1. Normal Heating: Thermostat calls for heat; furnace ignites and runs until setpoint reached.
  2. Continuous Fan: Blower runs continuously for air circulation.
  3. Standby Mode: System ready but not actively heating.
  4. Error Mode: Automatic shutdown with diagnostic code when fault detected.

WARNING! Do not attempt to override safety controls or operate with error codes present.

Safety Features

Flame rollout switch: Shuts off gas if flame detected outside burner compartment. High limit switch: Prevents overheating. Pressure switches: Verify proper venting before ignition. Ignition safety: Prevents gas flow if no flame detected.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Annual professional maintenance recommended. Monthly filter inspection/replacement.

  1. Filter: Replace 1-inch filter monthly during heating season.
  2. Burners: Clean annually; inspect for proper flame pattern.
  3. Blower: Clean wheel and housing annually.
  4. Vent system: Inspect for obstructions annually.
  5. Drain system: Flush condensate trap and line annually.

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