Operating Instructions

Daily operation and thermostat settings for efficient heating.

Thermostat Controls: POWER, FAN (Auto/On), TEMPERATURE SETTING, SYSTEM (Heat/Off)

Startup Sequence: Thermostat call for heat → inducer motor starts → pressure switch verification → igniter heats → gas valve opens → main burner ignition → blower activation after warm-up period. Shutdown: Thermostat satisfied → gas valve closes → blower continues for cool-down → system resets.

Control System Settings

Access control board dip switches and configuration settings.

Blower Speed: Adjust for heating and continuous fan operation
Temperature Rise: Verify within manufacturer specifications
Gas Pressure: Set according to altitude and gas type
Fan Delay: Adjust on/off timing for efficiency

Tip: Record original settings before making adjustments.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance schedule for optimal performance and longevity.

Monthly: Check and replace air filter if dirty
Seasonal: Inspect burners and heat exchanger for damage
Annual: Professional inspection of all safety controls
Biannual: Clean blower assembly and check motor bearings
As Needed: Clean flame sensor and check igniter condition

WARNING! Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.

Error Codes & Diagnostics

LED flash codes for troubleshooting furnace operation issues.

Flash Pattern	Error Description	Resolution
1 Flash	Ignition Lockout	Check gas supply and igniter
2 Flashes	Pressure Switch Fault	Inspect venting and switch
3 Flashes	Rollout Switch Open	Check heat exchanger and airflow
4 Flashes	Gas Valve Error	Verify valve operation and wiring
5 Flashes	Blower Fault	Check motor and capacitor

Warranty Information

Miller furnace warranty coverage and registration requirements.

Limited Warranty: 10-year heat exchanger, 5-year parts, 1-year labor. Registration required within 90 days of installation. Warranty applies to original owner and is non-transferable. Coverage excludes damage from improper installation, lack of maintenance, or natural disasters. For warranty claims, contact authorized Miller service provider with proof of purchase and installation date.

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Furnace won't start	Power supply/thermostat	Check circuit breaker; verify thermostat settings and batteries
No heat production	Gas supply/ignition	Verify gas valve open; check pilot/igniter operation
Short cycling	Airflow/overheating	Replace dirty filter; check for blocked vents
Unusual noises	Mechanical issues	Inspect blower wheel; check motor bearings
Poor heating	Ductwork/settings	Check duct leaks; verify temperature rise settings

Reset Procedure: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restart.
