ROLLOUT PROTECTION DEVICE

If the flames from the burners are not properly drawn into the heat exchanger, a protection device will open causing the gas valve to close. In GUI(-)furnaces installed horizon- tal right-to-left airflow, the device must be relocated.

Left To Right Installation

If relocation is required, proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect electrical power.

WARNING

To prevent death or personal injury due to electric shock, disconnect electrical power.

2.See Figures 33 and 34. Remove the cover from the burner box. Save the screws that held it in place. (Note: There are several screw holes, but only four screws. This is intentional, and not a manufacturing defect.)

3.As shipped, the rollout protection device is located near the flame sensor end of the manifold assembly. Re- move and save the mounting screws.

4.For most installations, it will not be necessary to remove the wires from the rollout protection device.

5.For horizontal-left installations, a hole is provided near the ignitor end of the manifold assembly. Insert the rollout protection device into this hole and attach with screws removed in step 3.

6.Secure rollout wires to manifold and insure no wires can come in contact with burners or other hot surfaces.

7.Push the button to confirm the rollout control is in the closed position.

8.Replace the cover on the burner box, placing the screws from step 2 in their original locations.

WARNING

To prevent death, personal injury or property damage due to fire or explosion, a qualified servicer must determine the reason the rollout protection device opened before the device is reset.
