The heat sensing switch performs as the furnace high
temperature limit switch. If the furnace overheats for
any reason, the limit switch opens, breaking the circuit
to the burner. The blower motor will be energized and
as the unit cools the limit switch will close. This relights
the burner, however, unless the overheating condition is
corrected, the furnace will continue to cycle on limit.
This unit is equipped with an interrupted ignition elec-
tronic control. If the main burner does not ignite within
30 sec from the call for heat, the control will lock out.
The red button on top of the control must be depressed
for 3 sec in order to reset the control. The control CAN-
NOT be reset from the room thermostat.
