(formationofcondensate,leakage,spillage,etc.)andshall
specify the following test procedure:
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation,
while all other appliances connected to the venting system
are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 and these
instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are
located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close replace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected
to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are
operating at maximum speed. Do operate a summer
exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so
appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances
at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main
burner operation. Use the ame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected in
accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 and/or Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1.
9. After is has been determined that each appliance

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS
Propane is a ammable gas which can cause res and explo-
sions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless.
You may not know all the following safety precautions which
can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read
them carefully now, then review them point by point with the
members of your household. Someday when there may not
be a minute to lose, everyone's safety will depend on knowing
exactly what to do. If, after reading the following information,
you feel you still need more information, please contact your
gas supplier.
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas
because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas. That’s your
signal to go into immediate action!
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone.
Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Closeallgastankorcylindersupplyvalves.
• Propane Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas
such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas
leak,keepoutofbasementsandotherlowareas.Stayout
untilreghtersdeclarethemtobesafe.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained Propane Gas
servicepersonandtheredepartment.Eventhoughyoumay
not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, lettheservicemanandreghterscheckforescaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trainedPropane Gas service peopleshould repair the leak,
thencheckandrelightthegasapplianceforyou.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the
odorofthechemicalputintothegas.Youmustndoutifyoucan
smelltheodorantinpropane.Smokingcandecreaseyourabilityto
smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or
abilitytodetectthatodor.Sometimesotherodorsintheareamask
the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are
onsomethingelse.Thinkingaboutsmellingagasodorcanmake
it easier to smell.
The odorant in Propane Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some
circumstances.Forexample,ifthereisanundergroundleak,the
movementofthegasthroughsoilcanltertheodorant.Odorants
inPropaneGasalsoaresubjecttooxidation.Thisfadingcanoccur
ifthereisrustinsidethestoragetankorinirongaspipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into
walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will
takesomeoftheodorantoutofthegas,reducingitsodorintensity.
Propane Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity
could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may
be more odor at lower levels.Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor.Ifyoudetectanyodor,treatitasaseriousleak.Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Learn to recognize the odor of Propane Gas.Your local Propane
Gas Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use
ittondoutwhatthepropaneodorsmellslike.Ifyoususpect
thatyourPropaneGashasaweakorabnormalodor,callyour
Propane Gas Dealer.
• Ifyouarenotqualied,donotlightpilotlights,performservice,
ormakeadjustmentstoappliancesonthePropaneGassystem.
Ifyouarequalied,consciouslythinkabouttheodorofPropane
Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service
ormakingadjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the Propane Gas odor. Do not try to
lightpilotlights,performservice,ormakeadjustmentsinan
area where the conditions are such that you may not detect
theodoriftherehasbeenaleakofPropaneGas.
• Odorfade,duetooxidationbyrustoradsorptiononwallsof
newcylindersandtanks,ispossible.Therefore,peopleshould
beparticularlyalertandcarefulwhennewtanksorcylinders
areplacedinservice.Odorfadecanoccurinnewtanks,or
reinstalledoldtanks,iftheyarelledandallowedtosettoo
longbeforerelling.Cylindersandtankswhichhavebeenout
of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause
odorfade.Ifsuchconditionsaresuspectedtoexist,aperiodic
sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about
the gas odor, call your Propane Gas Dealer. Aperiodic sniff
test of the Propane Gas is a good safety measure under any
condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the Propane Gas odorant and
youthinkyoushould,assumeyouhavealeak.Thentakethe
same immediate action recommended above for the occasion
when you do detect the odorized Propane Gas.
• Ifyouexperienceacomplete"gasout,"(thecontainerisunder
novaporpressure),turnthetankvalveoffimmediately.Ifthe
container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air
throughopeningssuchaspilotlightorices.Ifthisoccurs,some
new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then
treatthecontainerasanewtank.Alwaysbesureyourcon-
tainer is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container
beforeitgoescompletelyemptyorhavingitrelledbeforeitis
completely empty.

Ventilation and Combustion Air
Wall furnaces shall be installed in a location in which the facilities
for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas and proper
venting under normal conditions. In buildings of conventional frame,
brick,orstoneconstructionwithouttightstormwindowsanddoors,
inltrationisnormallyadequatetoprovideairforcombustionand
draft hood dilution.
Whereappliancesareinstalledinconnedandunconnedspaces
within a building, the building being of unusually tight construction,
air for combustion and ventilation must be obtained directly from
outdoors or from such spaces that freely communicate with the
outdoors. Under these conditions, the conned and unconned
spaces shall be provided with two permanent openings, one near
the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom; each opening
shall have a free area of not less than one square inch (6,45cm2)
per 2,000 BTU hr. (.6KW/H) of total input.

The gas line opening should be made at this time. Location of the
openingwillbedeterminedbythepositionofoorjoistsandthe
valve and union used for servicing.
Locating Electric Supply
A7/8”(22mm)diameterknockoutisprovidedatthebottomofthe
left and right side panels. A three-prong (grounding) plug assembly
is located within the control compartment (bottom) of the furnace.
Pleaseremove7/8”(22mm)knockoutfromappropriatesidepanel
when routing plug assembly to an electrical outlet.
Installation of Three-prong (Grounding) Plug Assembly
1. Disconnect nylon cap on 3’ (914mm) plug assembly from nylon
plug on wiring harness. Remove 3’ (914mm) plug assembly from
control compartment (bottom) of the furnace.
2. Remove7/8”(22mm)knockoutfromappropriatesidepanel.
3. Insert nylon cap on 3’ (914mm) plug assembly into the 7/8”
(22mm) hole in the side panel.
4. Connect nylon cap on 3’ (914mm) plug assembly to nylon plug
on the wiring harness.
5. Place 7/8” (22mm) strain relief bushing around the cord of the 3’
(914mm) plug assembly. Insert 7/8” (22mm) strain relief bushing
into the 7/8” (22mm) hole in the side panel.
Attention! The 7/8” (22mm) strain relief bushing is located within
the same yellow envelope as the Installation Instructions and
Owner’s Manual.
Attaching Furnace to Wall
When attaching furnace to the wall remove that portion of baseboard
and molding on the wall which is behind the furnace. Attach furnace
to wall, at the outer casing top, with (2) toggle bolts provided and
tooor,attheoutercasingbottom,with(2)#10x11/2”(38mm)
screws provided.
Attention! The screw holes on the outer casing bottom are off-set
abovethe oor approximately3/8”(9.5mm).Do not over-tighten
screws and distort the off-set on the outer casing bottom. Distortion
of the outer casing bottom will not allow the lower front panel to be
attached to the furnace.
Gas Supply
Checkalllocalcodesforrequirements,especiallyforthesizeand
typeofgassupplylinerequired. OnNaturalGaslineslessthan
15’ (4.5m) long, use 1/2” (13mm) pipe; on longer runs, use 3/4”
(19mm) iron pipe or equal. On Propane Gas lines please consult
Propane Gas supplier.
Installing a New Main Gas Shut-Off Valve
Each appliance should have its own manual gas shut-off valve.
A manual main gas shut-off valve should be located in the vicinity
oftheunit.Wherenoneexists,orwhereitssizeorlocationisnot
adequate, contact your local authorized installer for installation or
relocation.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping shall be resistant
totheactionofliqueedpetroleumgases.Thegaslinesmustbe
checkedforleaksbytheinstaller.Thisshouldbedonewithasoap
solutionwatchingforbubblesonallexposedconnections,andif
unexposed,apressuretestshouldbemade.
Never use an exposed ame to check for leaks. Appliance
must be disconnected from piping at inlet of control valve and
pipe capped or plugged for pressure test. Never pressure test
with appliance connected; control valve will sustain damage!
A gas valve and ground joint union should be installed in the gas
line upstream of the gas control to aid in servicing. It is required by
theNationalFuelGasCodethatadriplinebeinstallednearthegas
inlet. This should consist of a vertical length of pipe tee connected
into the gas line that is capped on the bottom in which condensation
and foreign particles may collect.

Vent Safety Shut-Off System
This appliance must be properly connected to a venting system.
This appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.
Warning: Operation of this wall furnace when not connected
to a properly installed and maintained venting system or
tampering with the vent safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
This furnace is equipped with a manual reset vent safety switch.
Themanualresetventsafetyswitchwillcausegasowtothemain
burnersto“shutoff”duetoimproperventingorablockedue.
To reset the manual reset vent safety switch:
1. Remove upper front panel.
2. Depress red manual reset button. The manual reset vent
safety switch is located on the draft diverter.
3. Replace upper front panel.
If the manual reset vent safety switch continues to “shut off” the
gasowtothemainburnersaqualied servicepersonmustbe
contactedtoinspectforimproperventing,blockageintheventpipe
or the manual reset vent safety switch for being defective.
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1,ifanexternalelectricalsourceisutilized.This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an
ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a
wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded
receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting screw.
With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can
be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded. A 7/8”
(22mm)holeisprovidedinthejunctionboxforusewithaconduit
connector if local codes require this type of protection.
To Conserve Gas: Turn off pilot when heater is not in use.
Insulated Vent Enclosure
Ventedwallfurnacesinstalledinbuildingswithatroofscanhave
poor venting. The cold vent pipe will have a delay in proper venting
and cause the wall furnace to shut “OFF” by the vent safety switch.
Topreventdelayedventingaswellascondensationofueproducts
an insulated vent enclosure is recommended.
Use type B vent pipe and maintain at least a one inch (25mm)
clearance to combustibles.
Use metal thimble to protect vent pipe as it passes through
combustibles.

OPERATION
Module operation can be conveniently divided into two phases for
S8600H. The phases are trial for ignition and main burner operation.
TRIAL FOR IGNITION
Pilot Ignition
Following call for heat (system start on S8600H), the module
energizestherstmainvalveoperator.Therstmainvalveopens,
whichallowsgastoowtothepilotburner.Atthesametime,the
electronicsparkgeneratorinthemoduleproducesa13,000volt
sparkpulseoutput(at25pfload).Thevoltagegeneratesaspark
at the igniter-sensor that lights the pilot.

45053-0-0523 Page 13
Ifthepilotdoesnotlight,orthepilotamecurrentisnotatleast1.0
uA and steady, the module will not energize the second main valve
and the main burner will not light.
Safety Lockout
S8600H provides 100 percent shutoff, or safety lockout.A timer
startstimingthemomentthetrialforignitionstarts.Ignitionspark
continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then
the module goes into safety lockout. Lockout de-energizes the
rstmainvalveoperatorandclosestherstmainvalveinthegas
control,stoppingpilotgasow.Thecontrolsystemmustbereset
by turning the valve off for one minute or by turning off power to the
module for one minute.
Main Burner Operation
When the pilot ame is established, a ame rectication circuit
iscompletedbetweenthesensorandburnerground.Theame
sensingcircuitinthemoduledetectstheamecurrent,shutsoff
thesparkgeneratorandenergizesthesecondmainvalveoperator.
Thesecondmainvalveopensandgasowstothemainburner,
whereitisignitedbythepilotburner.Theamecurrentalsoholds
thesafetylockouttimerinthereset(normal)operatingcondition.
When the call for heat ends, both main valve operators are de-
energized, and both main valves in the gas control close.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Important
1. The following service procedures are provided as a general
guide.
2. Meter readings between gas control and ignition module must
betakenwithinthetrialforignitionperiod.Oncetheignition
modulelocksout,thesystemmustberesetbyturningvalve
off for at least one minute before continuing.
 3. Ifanycomponentdoesnotfunctionproperly,makesureitis
correctly installed and wired before replacing it.
4. The ignition module cannot be repaired. If it malfunctions, it
must be replaced.
 5. Onlytrained,experiencedservicetechniciansshouldservice
intermittent pilot systems.
Perform the CHECKOUT steps on page 10 as the rst step in
troubleshooting.  Then check TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE to
pinpoint the cause of the problem. If troubleshooting indicates an
ignition problem, see Ignition System Checks below to isolate
and correct the problem.
Following troubleshooting, perform the CHECKOUT procedure
(page 10 ) again to be sure system is operating normally.
Ignition System Checks
Step1:Checkignitioncable.
Makesure:
A. Ignition cable does not touch any metal surfaces.
B. Ignition cable is no more than 36 inches (914mm) long.
C. Connections to the ignition module and to the igniter-sensor
are clean and tight.
D. Ignition cable provides good electrical continuity.
Step2:Checkignitionsystemgrounding.
Nuisance shutdowns are often caused by a poor or erratic
ground.
 A. Acommonground,usuallysuppliedbythepilotburnerbracket,
is required for the module and the pilot burner/igniter sensor.
• Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the pilot
burnerbracketandthemainburner.
• CheckthegroundleadfromGND(BURNER)terminalonthe
moduletothepilotburner.Makesureconnectionsareclean
and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace it
with No.  14-18 gauge, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic
insulated wire with 105 C (221 F) minimum rating.
• Ifamerodorbracketarebentoutofposition,restoreto
correct position.
• Replacepilotburner/ignitersensorifinsulatoriscracked.
Step3: Checksparkignitioncircuit.You will need a short jumper
wire made from ignition cable or other heavily insulated
wire.
A. Close the manual gas valve.
B. Disconnect the ignition cable at the SPARK terminal on the
module.
WARNING
When performing the following steps, do not touch stripped
end of jumper or SPARK terminal. The ignition circuit
generates 13,000 volts at 25 pf load and electrical shock
can result.
C.Energize the module and immediately touch one end of the jumper
rmlytotheGNDterminalonthemodule.Movethefreeend
ofthejumperslowlytowardtheSPARKterminaluntilaspark
is established.
D. Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note the
lengthofthegapwhensparkingstops.Checktablebelow.
ARC LENGTH ACTION
Noarcorarclessthan1/8
inch (3mm).
Arc 1/8 inch (3mm) or longer.
Checkexternalfuse,if
provided.
Verify power at module input
terminal.
Replace module if fuse and
powerokay.
Voltageoutputisokay.
Step4: Checkpilotamecurrent.
A. Turn off furnace.
B. Disconnect main valve wire from the TH or MV terminal on the
gas control.
 C. Disconnect ground wire from GND (BURNER) terminal at
module.
D. Connect a meter (dc microamp scale) in series with the ground
lead.
• DisconnectgroundleadfromGNDterminalonignitionmodule.
• Connecttheblack(negative)meterleadtotheignitionmodule
GND(BURNER)terminal.
• Connect the red (positive) meter lead to the free end of the
ground lead.
 E. Turnvalveontocallforheat.Thesparkwilllightthepilotbut
the main burner will not light because the main valve actuator
is disconnected.
 F. Readthemeter.Theamesensorcurrentmustbesteadyand
at least 1.0 uA.
G. If the reading is less than the minimum or unsteady,
• Make sure pilot ame envelopes 3/8 (9.5mm)to 1/2 inch
(13mm)oftheamerod.
• If necessary, adjust pilot flame by turning the pilot
adjustmentscrewonthegascontrolclockwisetodecrease
or counterclockwise to increase pilot ame.  Following
adjustment, always replace pilot adjustment cover screw
andtightenrmlytoassurepropergascontroloperation.
• Checkforcrackedceramicinsulator,whichcancauseshort
to ground, and replace igniter-sensor if necessary.
• Makesureelectricalconnectionsarecleanandtight.Replace
damagedwirewithmoisture-resistantNo.18wireratedfor
continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).
H. Remove meter and reconnect all wires. Return system to
normal operation before leaving job.
