Professional installation required. Verify local codes and obtain permits.
WARNING! Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide. Proper venting is critical for safety. Installation must comply with all local codes.
Initial startup must be performed by qualified technician.
CAUTION! Never bypass safety controls. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur with improper installation or operation.
Thermostat controls furnace operation. Integrated control board manages sequence of operation.
Operation Sequence: Thermostat calls for heat → Inducer motor starts → Pressure switch proves draft → Hot surface igniter heats → Gas valve opens → Flame sensor confirms ignition → Blower motor starts after heat exchanger warms.
Thermostat Settings: HEAT/COOL/OFF selector, temperature setpoint, fan AUTO/ON control.
Control Board LED: Flashing pattern indicates operational status and fault codes.
Two-pipe direct vent system recommended for optimal performance and safety.
Tip: Ensure vent pipes are properly sloped to drain condensate back to furnace.
Annual professional maintenance recommended. Some tasks can be performed by homeowner.
WARNING! Turn off electrical power and gas supply before performing any maintenance.
Flame Rollout Switch: Shuts off gas if flame rolls out of burner compartment. High Limit Switch: Prevents overheating. Pressure Switch: Ensures proper venting before ignition. Flame Sensor: Confirms burner ignition. Ignition Control: Limits ignition attempts.
Keep furnace area clean and free of combustible materials. Use soft brush or vacuum for cleaning.
CAUTION! Never use water or liquid cleaners on electrical components. Keep filter clean for proper airflow and efficiency.

| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Furnace won't start | Power, thermostat, safety lockout | Check power supply; verify thermostat setting; reset power. |
| No heat | Gas supply, igniter, flame sensor | Verify gas valve on; check for faulty igniter or dirty flame sensor. |
| Short cycling | Dirty filter, blocked vent, limit switch | Replace filter; check venting; verify limit switch operation. |
| Blower won't run | Motor, capacitor, control board | Check motor operation; test capacitor; verify control signals. |
| Unusual noises | Loose components, airflow issues | Tighten mounting hardware; check for obstructions in blower or heat exchanger. |
Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds then restore. Check control board LED for fault codes.
