Operating Procedures

Normal heating cycle operation.

Call for heat: Thermostat signals furnace to start.
Prepurging: Blower runs to clear combustion chamber.
Ignition: Hot surface igniter glows, gas valve opens.
Flame verification: Flame sensor confirms ignition.
Main operation: Burner operates, blower starts after heat buildup.
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.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Furnace won't start	Power/gas/thermostat	Check circuit breaker, gas valve position, thermostat setting.
No heat	Ignition failure	Check diagnostic LED; verify gas supply; clean flame sensor.
Blower doesn't run	Motor/control issue	Check blower door switch; verify motor operation.
Short cycling	Dirty filter/overheating	Replace air filter; check for blocked vents.
Unusual noises	Mechanical issues	Inspect blower wheel; check for loose components.

Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore.
