DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector should be installed in all LP applications.
Do not attempt to bleed the gas lines of air. Call your local gas provider.
Start−Up & Operation Information
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the G71MPP is equipped with a gas con- trol switch. Use only your hand to move the control switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a licensed professional service techni- cian (or equivalent). Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the G71MPP furnace into operation: G71MPP units are equipped with a SureLight® ignition sys- tem. Do not attempt to manually light burners on this fur- nace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot when there is no call for heat on units with SureLight® ignition system.
Operating the Gas Valve (Figure 2)
1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of this section.
2 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit.
4 − This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the burners by hand.
5 − Remove the upper access panel.
6 − Move the gas valve switch to the OFF position. See fig- ure 2.
7 − Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc- tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.

nician or gas supplier. Turning Off Gas to the Unit
1 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

Filters
All G71MPP filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Re- placement filters must be rated for high velocity airflow. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes.
A filter must be in place and when the unit is operating. The filter access panel must also be in place and properly se- cured during unit operation.
