The switches open and shut off power tothe gas valve if a flame rollout or overheating conditionoccurs in the gas control area. DO NOT bypass the switches.Correct problem before resetting the switches.1. Maintain 115-v wiring and ground. Improper polarity willresult in rapid flashing LED and no furnace operation.2. Make thermostat wire connections at the 24-v terminal blockon the furnace control. Failure to make proper connectionswill result in improper operation. (See Fig. 22.)3. Gas supply pressure to the furnace must be greater than 4.5-in.wc (0.16 psig ) but not exceed 14-in. wc (0.5 psig ).CUT HAZARDFailure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care andwear appropriate protective clothing, safety glasses andgloves when handling parts and servicing furnaces.4. Check all manual-reset switches for continuity.5. Install blower compartment door. Door must be in place tooperate furnace.6. Setup switch descriptionsThe 2 stage furnace has DIP switches used to select thermostatstaging and blower off delay timings.For switch locations on Furnace control board, See Fig. 32 and56.7.
