! WARNING

BODILY INJURY CAN RESULT FROM HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, FAST MOVING FANS, AND COMBUSTIBLE FUEL OIL. FOR PROTECTION FROM THESE INHERENT HAZARDS DURING INSTALLATION AND SERVICING, THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND THE MAIN FUEL OIL VALVE MUST BE TURNED OFF.

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF AN OIL LEAK:

Do not try to operate this or any other nearby appliance.

If present, close the manual oil shutoff valve on the fuel oil supply line.

Immediately call a qualified heating dealer for service.

If you cannot reach a qualified heating dealer, call the fuel oil supplier or the fire department.

NOTICE: A qualified heating dealer MUST service the oil burner and inspect the heat exchanger in this furnace at least once a year.

To Start the Furnace

! WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the oil furnace and this manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the fuel oil supplier.

Lighting instructions.

Your oil furnace does not use a continuously burning pilot flame. Therefore, manually lighting your furnace is not required. Your furnace is equipped with an automatic spark ignition system that automatically lights the burner each time the thermostat signals the furnace to start.

! WARNING

Do not attempt to manually light the furnace.

TO OPERATE THIS FURNACE:

1)Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest setpoint and set the operating mode, if equipped, to “OFF”.

2)Turn off all electric power to the furnace at the disconnect- ing switch.

3)Turn the manual oil shutoff valve to the open or “ON” position.

4)This furnace is equipped with an electronic ignition system that automatically lights the burner. DO NOT try to light the burner by hand.

5)Turn on the electric power to the furnace at the disconnect- ing switch.

6)Adjust the room thermostat to the desired setpoint and set the operating mode, if equipped, to “HEAT”.

7)If the furnace will not operate, call a qualified heating dealer for service.

TO INTERRUPT (STOP) OPERATION OF THIS FURNACE:

1)Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest setpoint and set the operating mode, if equipped, to “OFF”.

2)If service will be performed, turn off all electric power to the furnace at the disconnecting switch.

3)Turn the manual oil shutoff valve to the closed or “OFF” position.

Extended Shutdown

If the furnace will be shutdown for an extended period of time:

1)Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest set point and set the operating mode, if equipped, to “OFF”.

2)Open the disconnecting switch serving the furnace.

3)Close the manual oil shutoff valve.

! CAUTION

If this is done during the cold weather months, provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and water receptacles.

4)To promote smooth startup and nuisance free operation, fuel oil quality must be maintained at a high level. In cases where biological contamination of the fuel oil tank is evident or suspected, consider treating the fuel oil with a biocide approved for fuel oil applications. In addition, for non-low sulfur fuel oils, an antioxidant additive may be beneficial in promoting fuel stability. After adding any fuel oil treatment, completely fill the oil tank to promote mixing of the additive with the fuel.

Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have someone inspect your house for proper temperature. If your furnace should fail to operate, damage could result, such as frozen water pipes.
