STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat signals the furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
SNever attempt to manually light the burners with a match or other source of flame.

SRead and follow the operating instructions on inside of main furnace door, especially the item that reads as fol- lows:
“Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol- low “B” in the safety information above on this furnace label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.”
SIf a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control system, such as the burners do not light when they should, refer to the shutdown procedures on inside of main furnace door, or in the “Shutting Down Your Fur- nace” section and call your dealer as soon as possible.
