DJUSTMENT
Furnace must have a 115 VAC power supply properly connected
and grounded. Proper polarity must be maintained for correct
operation. An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the
blower door is not in place. Keep the blower access door in
place except for inspection and maintenance.
This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing electronic
control module. In the event a furnace component is not operat-
ing properly, the control module LED will flash on and off in a
factory-programmed sequence, depending on the problem en-
countered. This light can be viewed through the observation
window in the blower access door. Refer to the Troubleshoot-
ing Chart for further explanation of the lighting codes.
Follow the start-up and adjustment items, refer to further infor-
mation in Section XIII, Operational Checks (see table of con-
tents, pages 2-3 for page number)..
FURNACE OPERATION
Purge gas lines of air prior to start-up. Do not purge lines into
an enclosed burner compartment.
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and wa-
ter solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other
approved method. Verify that all required kits (propane gas,
high altitude, etc.) have been appropriately installed.
NOTE: An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the
blower door is not in place. Keep the blower access doors in
place except for inspection and maintenance.
