8 − White Rodgers 36E Gas Valve − Move gas valve switch
to ON. See figure 59 for the White Rodgers 36E
valve.
Honeywell VR8205 Gas Valve − Turn switch on gas
valve counterclockwise
to ON. Do not force.
9 − Replace the upper access panel.
10− Turn on all electrical power to to the unit.
11− Set the thermostat to desired setting.
NOTE − When unit is initially started, steps 1 through 11
may need to be repeated to purge air from gas line.
12− If the appliance will not operate, follow the instructions
Turning Off Gas to Unit" and call the gas supplier.
Turning Off Gas to Unit
1 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is to be
performed.
3 − Remove the upper access panel.
4 − White Rodgers 36E Gas Valve − Move switch on gas
valve to OFF.
Honeywell VR8205 Gas Valve − Turn switch on gas
valve clockwise
to OFF. Do not force.
5 − Replace the upper access panel.
Gas Pressure Adjustment
Gas Flow (Approximate)
1 − Operate unit at least 15 minutes before checking gas
flow. Determine the time in seconds for one revolu-
tions of gas through the meter. A portable LP gas me-
ter (17Y44) is available for LP applications.
2 − Compare the number of seconds and the gas meter
size in table 31 to determine the gas flow rate. Multiply
the gas flow rate by the heating value to determine the
unit input rate. If manifold pressure is correct and the
unit input rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper
size and restriction.
3 − Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE − To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
