A06189
Fig. 12 Open Valve
11. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly above the room temperature. This will automatically signal the furnace to start. The inducer motor will start and the hot surface igniter will energize. When hot, the igniter will have an orange glow.
12. After about 17 seconds, the gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners where it is ignited. Hot flames begin to warm
the furnaces heat exchanger. After a time delay of approxim- ately 2545 seconds the furnace blower is switched on.
NOTE: If the main burners fail to ignite, the furnace control system will go through three more ignition cycles. Then if burners fail to ignite, the system will lockout. If lockout occurs or the blower does not come on, shut down your furnace and call your dealer for service.
13. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your comfort requirements. SUGGESTION: Setting the thermostat back a few degreesand compensating for the difference with warmer clothingcan make a big difference in your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. 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 setting selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be automatically switched off.
Continuous Fan Operation Some thermostats have a FAN switch with 2 selections: AUTO and ON. When thermostat is set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, controlled by the thermostat. In ON position, the furnace blower runs continuously except for a 4262 sec delay at the call for heat. Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your home more evenly balanced. It also continuously filters the indoor air. Comfort Fan On all but the 58STA or 58STX, the continuous fan blower speed can be increased or decreased if desired due to change of seasons, large gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your FAN switch from on to off (or auto depending on your thermostat), and then return to on, within 1 to 3 seconds. The blower will switch to the next highest 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.
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE Should you ever suspect a malfunction in your furnace, you will need to turn the furnace off. The following procedures must be followed:
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting. (See Fig. 3.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve (See Fig. 4). 3. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 6.)
4. Remove outer furnace door. (See Fig. 7.) 5. Turn the switch on the gas control to the OFF position. (See
Fig. 8.)
6. Replace the outer furnace door. (See Fig. 10.) 7. If the furnace is being shut down because of a malfunction, call
your dealer as soon as possible.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A SERVICE CALL
Before you call for service, check for several easily solved problems: Check for sufficient airflow. Check the air filter for dirt. Check
for blocked returnair or supplyair grilles. Be sure they are
open and unobstructed. If this isnt the cause of the problem, call
your servicing dealer. If your furnace isnt operating at all, check
the following list for easily solved problems:
Is your thermostat set above room temperature? Is the HEAT
mode selected?
Is the electrical power supply switch on? Is the blower access
door firmly in place? Are any fuses blown? (There is a fuse on
the furnace control.) Has a circuit breaker tripped?
Is the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply pipe leading to
the furnace open? Does the lever point in the same direction that
the pipe runs (open)? Or is it at a right angle to the pipe (closed)?
NOTE: Before proceeding with the next checks, turn off the
electrical power supply to the furnace. Remove access door.
Is the switch on the gas valve turned to the ON position? If this
or the preceding check shows an interruption in the gas supply,
make sure the gas has not been shut off for safety reasons. If
nothing else seems to be wrong, follow the startup procedures
found on pages 4 and 5 of this booklet.
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
If for some reason the vent is blocked, the draft safeguard switch will shut off the furnace. (See Page 2 for switch location.) The switch will automatically reset after the furnace cools off. If the furnace fails to operate, contact a qualified service agency.
CAUTION!
Check the manual reset limit switches located on the ends of the
burner enclosure (see Fig. 1 and 3). If the furnace has
experienced a hightemperature condition due to inadequate
combustion air, these switches will shut off the furnace. Reset
the switches by pushing the button on the switch. If the switch
trips a second time, turn off the furnace and call for service.
If your furnace still fails to operate, call your servicing dealer for
troubleshooting and repairs. Tell your dealer the model and
serial numbers for your furnace. (You should have them
recorded on page 10 of this booklet.) By knowing exactly which
furnace you have, the dealer may be able to offer suggestions
over the phone or save valuable time through knowledgeable
preparation for the service call.
