Installation Requirements

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper location with adequate clearance.

  1. Gas connection: Use approved gas piping; pressure test before connection.
  2. Electrical connection: 120V AC, 60Hz power supply with proper grounding.
  3. Vent system: Install PVC vent pipes according to local codes.
  4. Combustion air: Provide adequate fresh air supply.
  5. Drain connection: Connect condensate drain line.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified technician. Gas leaks can cause explosion. Follow all local codes and regulations.

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 above room temperature.
  4. Monitor ignition: Observe startup sequence and flame establishment.
  5. Check airflow: Verify proper airflow through registers.

CAUTION! Do not bypass safety devices. Ensure proper ventilation during initial operation.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access control board via front panel. Diagnostic LED displays status codes.

Control Board: POWER switch, FAN control, SYSTEM switch (HEAT/COOL/OFF), diagnostic LED.

Operation: System monitors pressure switches, flame sensor, limit switches. Blower speeds: Adjustable for heating and cooling modes. Diagnostic codes: LED flashes indicate specific error conditions. Temperature limits: Automatic high-limit protection.

Thermostat Connection

Compatible with standard 24V thermostats. Connection terminals: R, W, Y, G, C.

  1. Turn off power to furnace before connecting thermostat.
  2. Connect thermostat wires to control board terminals.
  3. Match wire colors to terminal designations.
  4. Restore power and test thermostat operation.

Tip: Use programmable thermostat for maximum energy efficiency.

Operating Procedures

Normal heating cycle operation.

  1. Call for heat: Thermostat signals furnace to start.
  2. Prepurging: Blower runs to clear combustion chamber.
  3. Ignition: Hot surface igniter glows, gas valve opens.
  4. Flame verification: Flame sensor confirms ignition.
  5. Main operation: Burner operates, blower starts after heat buildup.
  6. Shutdown: Thermostat satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for cool-down.

WARNING! Do not attempt to manually override safety controls. Contact qualified technician for service.

Safety Features

Flame rollout switches: Detect improper burner operation. High limit switch: Prevents overheating. Pressure switches: Verify proper venting. Flame sensor: Confirms burner ignition. Ignition control: Safe startup sequence.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Turn off power and gas supply before maintenance. Replace air filter monthly during heating season. Clean flame sensor annually. Inspect vent system for obstructions.

CAUTION! Gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide. Ensure proper ventilation and annual professional inspection.
