STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE

Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat starts your furnace. Follow these important safeguards:

SNever attempt to manually light the burners with a match or other source of flame.
