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.
Lighting Information & Operation
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the ap-
pliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be-
cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
The gas valve on the G61MP may be equipped with either a
gas control knob or gas control switch. Use only your hand
to push the switch or turn the gas control knob. Never use
tools. If the switch will not move or the knob will not push in
or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a licensed profes-
sional service technician (or equivalent). Force or at-
tempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the G61MP furnace into operation:
G61MP 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
®
