Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper location with adequate clearance.

Position furnace: Place on level surface in utility room, closet, or basement with minimum clearances as specified.
Connect gas supply: Use black iron pipe with proper thread sealant; install manual shut-off valve.
Connect venting: Use approved PVC pipe for combustion air intake and exhaust flue.
Connect electrical: Provide 120V AC power; connect 24V thermostat wiring to control board.
Connect ductwork: Attach supply and return ducts securely to furnace plenums.

WARNING! Installation must comply with local codes and be performed by qualified HVAC technician. Gas leaks can cause explosion.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial startup and configuration.

Verify all connections: Gas, electrical, venting, and ductwork.
Install air filter: Insert clean 1-inch filter into filter rack.
Power on: Turn on electrical power and gas supply.
Configure thermostat: Set to heat mode with desired temperature.
Test operation: Furnace should ignite and begin heating cycle; verify proper airflow from registers.
Check venting: Ensure exhaust gases are properly vented outdoors.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper venting. Monitor for unusual smells or sounds during first startup.

Thermostat Settings: Heat mode, fan auto/on, temperature setpoint. Blower Speeds: Adjust via DIP switches for heating airflow (CFM). Gas Pressure: Factory set; verify with manometer (3.5" WC natural gas). Limit Switches: Auto-reset high temperature limits.

Connecting Thermostat

Standard 24V thermostat wiring. Terminals: R (24V power), W (heat), G (fan), C (common).

Turn off power at furnace disconnect.
Remove control board cover to access thermostat terminals.
Connect thermostat wires: Match colors to terminals (R, W, G, C).
Secure connections and replace cover.
Restore power and test thermostat operation.

Tip: Use 18-gauge thermostat wire. Ensure C wire is connected for proper operation of digital thermostats.

Operation

Normal heating cycle operation.

Thermostat calls for heat: Sends signal to control board.
Inducer motor starts: Creates draft through heat exchanger.
Pressure switches close: Verify proper venting.
Ignition sequence: Hot surface igniter glows, gas valve opens.
Flame verification: Flame sensor confirms ignition.
Blower starts: After heat exchanger warms, blower circulates warm air.
Cycle completes: When thermostat satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for post-purge.

WARNING! Never block vents or returns. Ensure adequate combustion air.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

Monthly: Check/replace air filter.
Annually: Professional inspection and cleaning.
Burner inspection: Clean burner orifices and assembly.
Heat exchanger: Inspect for cracks or corrosion.
Blower motor: Clean blower wheel and housing.
Vent system: Check for obstructions or damage.

Care & Cleaning

Turn off power and gas before cleaning. Use soft brush and vacuum for dust removal.

CAUTION! Do not use water or chemical cleaners on electrical components. Keep area around furnace clear of flammable materials.
