SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions
or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies
hazards which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which may result
in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE
is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced
installation, reliability or operation.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire,
furnace damage, or improper operation; carefully follow these
safety rules:
SYour gas furnace uses air from outside the home for
combustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not
to be installed using indoor air for combustion. The
vent pipe must terminate outside the structure and must
not be obstructed in any way. The air--intake pipe must
terminate outside the structure or in a well ventilated
area that is isolated from the living space and the garage
(e.g. well ventilated attic or crawlspace). Do not block
or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around
furnace.
A05089
Fig. 3 -- Venting
SKeep the area around your furnace clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
liquids and vapors.
A92182
Fig. 4 -- Combustible Materials
SDo not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or
in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
SA furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space
must be kept free and clear of insulating material.
Examine the furnace area when the furnace is installed
or when insulation is added. Some materials may be
combustible.
SThis furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must
be MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left
unattended for an extended period of time, have it
checked periodically for proper operation. This
precaution will prevent problems associated with no
heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before You
Request a Service Call” section in this manual.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury/death or property damage.
Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.
!WARNING
FIRE AND UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury/death or property damage.
For proper and safe operation the furnace needs air for
combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct
the openings on the furnace, air openings to the area in
which the furnace is installed, and the space around the
furnace.
!WARNING
BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation monthly to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e.
chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of
obstructions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is
physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return--air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the furnace is sound without
sagging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
6. The burner flames are in good adjustment. (See Fig. 5.)
A92330

STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN
YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes
valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface
ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat starts
your furnace. Follow these important safeguards:
SNever attempt to manually light the burners with a
match or other source of flame.
A92319
Fig. 6 -- Do Not Light Burner with Match
SRead and follow the operating instructions on inside of
main furnace door, especially the item that reads as
follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP!
Follow “B” in the safety information above on this
furnace label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next
step.
SIf a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control
system, such as the burners do not light when they
should, refer to the shutdown procedures on inside of
main furnace door, or in the “Shutting Down Your
Furnace” section and call your dealer as soon as
possible.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury/death or property damage.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, turn off the manual gas valve to the furnace
BEFORE turning off the electrical supply. (See Fig. 8.)
!WARNING
SCHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start
your furnace, be sure the furnace filter is clean and in
place. See “Performing Routine Maintenance” section
in this manual. Then proceed as follows:
Steps For Starting Your Furnace
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature
setting. (See Fig. 7.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 8.)

3. Turn OFF electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 9.)
4. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 10.)
5. The gas valve will have a control switch to turn off and
on. Turn the control switch on the gas control to the OFF
position and wait 5 minutes. (See Fig. 11.) Then smell for
gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP!
Follow “B” on furnace label. If you don’t smell gas, go to
next step.
6. After waiting 5 minutes, turn the control switch on the gas
control to the ON position. (See Fig. 12.)

7. Replace main furnace door. (See Fig. 13.)
8. Turn ON the electrical supply to the furnace and wait 1
minute. (See Fig. 14.)
9. Open the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 15.)
10. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly above
the room temperature. This will automatically signal the
furnace to start.
11. When the furnace receives the start signal, the inducer is
started. When the pressure switch senses that there is suf--
ficient combustion air, the hot surface igniter is energized.
After the hot surface igniter is heated for 17 seconds, the
gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After
ignition and a time delay of about 30 sec, the furnace
blower will start. Variable--capacity furnaces start at
medium speed until the control makes the necessary
adjustments to operate the blower at either the low--,
medium--, or high--heat speed.
NOTE: If the burners fail to ignite after 4 attempts, the furnace
control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main burners fail
to light, or blower does not come on, shut down the furnace and
call your dealer for service.
12. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your
comfort requirements.
SUGGESTION: Setting the thermostat back a few degrees
and compensating for the difference with warmer clothing
can make a big difference in your fuel consumption. The
few degrees at the top of your thermostat “comfort level”
are the most costly degrees to obtain.
When the room temperature drops below the temperature selected
on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on automatically.
When the room temperature reaches the temperature selected on
the thermostat, the furnace will be switched off automatically.
Some thermostats have a FAN mode with 2 selections: AUTO
and ON. When set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and
off. In the ON mode, the furnace blower runs continuously.
Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your home more
evenly balanced. It also permits the indoor air to be continuously
filtered. With the unique feature Fan On Plust,the blower speed
can be increased or decreased if desired due to change of seasons,
large gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your FAN
from ON to OFF for 1 to 3 seconds (or AUTO depending on

7
your thermostat), and then return to ON. The blower will switch
to the next higher speed. There are at least 3 speeds to choose
from. If the blower is running on its highest speed, a request to
change will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.
If you own an Evolution Control, simply push the “fan” button
to change the fan speed.
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE
Should you ever need to shut down your furnace for service or
maintenance, you will need to turn the furnace off. The following
procedures must be followed:
A08013
Fig. 16 -- Lowest Temperature Setting
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A SERVICE
CALL
If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly, you
may save the expense of a service call by checking a few things
yourself before calling for service.
For Insufficient Airflow:
SCheck for dirty air filter(s).
SCheck for blocked return--air or supply--air grilles
throughout your home. Ensure they are open and
unobstructed.
If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.
If Furnace Fails to Operate:
Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next step only
if furnace fails to start.
SCheck thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermostat
set above room temperature?
SIs thermostat set on HEAT?
SCheck fuses and circuit breakers. Is electrical supply
on?
SIs manual shutoff valve in gas supply pipe in open
position? (Follow start--up procedures if you open gas
valve.)
NOTE: Turn off electrical supply before continuing with
checklist.
SIs control switch on gas valve in ON position? (Follow
startup procedures if you must reset switch to ON
position.)
SCheck manual reset flame rollout switch located on the
burner box. If furnace has experienced high
temperature conditions, this switch will shut off the
furnace. Reset it by pushing the button on the switch. If
it trips again, shut down the furnace and call for
