flame. Therefore, manually lighting your furnace is not
required. Your furnace is equipped with an automatic spark
ignition system that automatically lights the burner each
time the thermostat signals the furnace to start.

WARNING
!
BODILY INJURY CAN RESULT FROM HIGH VOLTAGE
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, FAST MOVING FANS, AND
COMBUSTIBLE FUEL OIL. FOR PROTECTION FROM
THESE INHERENT HAZARDS DURING INSTALLATION
AND SERVICING, THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MUST BE
DISCONNECTED AND THE MAIN FUEL OIL VALVE MUST
BE TURNED OFF.
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF AN OIL LEAK:
• Do not try to operate this or any other nearby appliance.
• If present, close the manual oil shutoff valve on the fuel oil
supply line.
• Immediately call a qualified heating dealer for service.
• If you cannot reach a qualified heating dealer, call the fuel oil
supplier or the fire department.
NOTICE: A qualified heating dealer MUST service the
oil burner and inspect the heat exchanger in this
furnace at least once a year.
TO INTERRUPT (STOP) OPERATION OF THIS FURNACE:
1) Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest setpoint and set
the operating mode, if equipped, to “OFF”.
2) If service will be performed, turn off all electric power to
the furnace at the disconnecting switch.

CAUTION
!
If this is done during the cold weather months, provisions
must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and
water receptacles.
4) To promote smooth startup and nuisance free operation,
fuel oil quality must be maintained at a high level. In
cases where biological contamination of the fuel oil tank
is evident or suspected, consider treating the fuel oil
with a biocide approved for fuel oil applications. In
addition, for non-low sulfur fuel oils, an antioxidant
additive may be beneficial in promoting fuel stability.
After adding any fuel oil treatment, completely fill the
oil tank to promote mixing of the additive with the fuel.
Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have
someone inspect your house for proper temperature. If your
furnace should fail to operate, damage could result, such as
frozen water pipes.
