SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous
due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and
qualified personnel should install, repair, or service heating
equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions such as cleaning or replacing air filters. All other
operations must be performed by trained service personnel.
Observe safety precautions in this manual, on tags, and on
labels attached to the furnace, and other safety precautions
that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
/iX 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. These words are used with the safety-alert
symbol. 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
would 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.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation 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.
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system
to light the burners each time the thermostat signals the
furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
• Never attempt to manually light the burners with a
match or other source of flame.

• Read 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."
• If 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 and install
lockout tag.
CHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your
furnace, be sure the furnace filter isclean and in
place. See "Performing Routine Maintenance"
