Lighting & Adjustment of the Appliance
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
AVERTISSEMENT :
RISQUE D’INDENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION
Le non-respect des avertissements de sécurité
pourrait entraîner des blessures graves, la mort ou
des dommages matériels.
Ne jamais utiliser une flamme nue pour vérifier la
présence de fuites de gaz. Pour la vérification de tous
les joints, utiliser plutôt une solution savonneuse
commerciale fabriquée spécifiquement pour la
détection des fuites de gaz. Un incendie ou une
explosion peut entraîner des dommages matériels,
des blessures ou la mort.
1. Turn ON the manual gas valve, located on the outside of
the unit to the ON position.
2. Check all gas connections for leaks with a soap and water
solution. If the solution bubbles there is a gas leak which
must be corrected.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the appliance.
4. Place the gas valve ON/OFF switch/knob to the ON position.
See Figure 6.
5. Set the thermostat above room temperature to begin the
heating cycle of the furnace.
6. Check that the furnace ignites and operates properly. Refer
to the installation instructions provided with the unit for the
normal operating sequence.
7. After ignition, visually inspect the burner assembly to
ensure that the flame is drawn directly into the center of
the heat exchanger tube. In a properly adjusted burner
assembly, the flame color should be blue with some light
yellow streaks near the outer portions of the flame.
NOTE: The ignitor may not ignite the gas until all air is bled
from the gas line. If the ignition control locks out, turn the
thermostat to its lowest setting and wait one minute then
turn the thermostat above room temperature and the ignitor
will try again to ignite the main burners. This process may
have to be repeated several times before the burners will
ignite. After the burners are lit, check all gas connections
for leaks again with the soap and water solution.

• The gas valve conversion label should be affixed on the
gas valve..
NOTE: Each label should be prominently visible after
installation.
2. Reinstall the appliance door.
3. Run the appliance through 3 complete cycles to assure
proper operation.
Measuring the Manifold Pressure
The manifold pressure must be measured by installing a
pressure gauge (Manometer, Magnehelic Meter, etc.) to the
outlet end of the gas valve as follows:
1. Shut OFF the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve
located outside of the appliance.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.
3. Using a 3/16” Allen wrench, remove the manifold pressure
tap plug located on the outlet side of the gas valve. See
Figure 6.
4. Install an 1/8” NPT pipe thread fitting, that is compatible
with a Manometer or similar pressure gauge.
5. Connect the Manometer or pressure gauge to the manifold
pressure tap.
6. Set the room thermostat above room temperature to start
the furnace.
7. Allow the furnace to operate for 3 minutes and then check
the manifold pressure. Compare the measured value
with the value shown in Table 2 (page 3). If the manifold
pressure is not set to the appropriate pressure, then it
must be adjusted.
Adjusting the Manifold Pressure
NOTE: Adjustments must be made to both LOW & HIGH
fire settings when converting two-stage gas valves. High fire
must be adjusted first and then low fire. The Low fire will be
afffected if not adjusted in this order. Refer to Table 2 for
manifold pressures.
1. Single stage gas valve: Remove the cap screw from the
top of the gas valve regulator. See Figure 2 (page 4) for
VR8205S2890 or VR8215S1289 models.
2-stage gas valve: For VR8205Q2381 models, remove
the plastic cap covering the adjustment screws (Figure
4 page 4). For VR9205Q1127 models, remove the cap
screw (Figure 5, page 5).
2. Using a screwdriver or Allen wrench (where appropriate),
slowly turn the adjustment screw till the appropriate manifold
pressure listed in Table 2 is achieved. See Figure 2 for
VR8205S2890 or VR8215S1289 models. See Figure 4
for VR8205Q2381 models or Figure 5 for VR9205Q11127
models.
NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise increases the
pressure, turning the screw counter-clockwise decreases
the pressure. To prevent the screw from backing all the
way out from the valve, turn the screw slowly.
3. Replace and tighten the cap screw or the plastic cap over
the adjustment screw.
