Filter maintenance reduces energy use.

WARNING: Disconnect power to the

unit before removing the blower door. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage,

personal injury or death.

A clean filter saves money.

When the furnace circulates and filters the air in your home, dust and dirt particles build up on the filter. Excessive accumulation can block the airflow, forcing the unit to work harder to maintain desired temperatures.

And the harder your unit has to work, the more energy it uses. So you pay more any time your system is running with a dirty filter.

CAUTION: Never operate your unit for either heating or cooling with filters removed.

Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning the filter once a month. If you have an upflow furnace, you can wash or

change the filter once a month. Clean it twice a month during seasons when the unit runs more often.

Your furnace came from the factory with a cleanable filter. You can clean the filter with a vacuum, OR you can wash it with a household detergent. Good quality, high velocity filters may be used for replacements in upflow furnaces.

With the new patented filter rack on the upflow models, all cleaning or replacing of filters is quick and easy. Clean filters guarantee optimum performance of your system.

Replacing your filter.

When replacing your furnace filters, use a high velocity type filter. On upflow furnaces, standard size 1" thick high velocity filters will fit into the patented filter rack which will automatically adjust in width to fit. Filters are available from your dealer.

How to remove your filter.

WARNING: Disconnect power to the

unit before removing the blower door. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

The upflow furnace blower door has a hinge at the bottom which allows the door to tilt forward for filter servicing or replacement without the door being removed. The furnace filter in the bottom or side configuration can be removed by simply turning the two latches on the blower door 1/4 turn and tilting the door forward.

Blower Door Hinge and Bottom Filter Rack Installation

The blower door may be removed if necessary by tilting the door outward 2 to 3 inches, then pulling up. The door will slide out of the hinge for removal. For replacement, simply insert the blower door bottom into the space between the furnace base front and the hinge, then tilt inward and latch.

The problem solver.

A furnace is not a household appliance. It is complex and requires professional maintenance and repair.

That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an inwarranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjustments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take care of any questions or problems you may have. A periodic inspection of your furnace should be made by a qualified service agency at the start of each heating season.

Keep your furnace looking like new for years.

Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with ordinary soap and water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the finish.

WARNING:

Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe burns, other injury, property damage, or death.

CAUTION:

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

Save time and money. Before calling for service, check the following:

Maintenance information.

Never stop the cooling system by shutting off the main power.

If the main power to your air conditioner is ever disconnected for more than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then wait for at least three more hours after the power has been restored before turning the thermostat back on. Failure to follow this procedure could result in damage to your air conditioning system.

1. GENERAL INSPECTION - Examine the furnace installation for the following items:

a.All flue product carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstruction.

b.The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.

c.The return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the space containing the furnace.

d.The physical support of the furnace should be sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around the base so as to provide a seal between the support and the base.

e.There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.

WARNING:

Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe burns.

2.BLOWERS - The blower size and speed determine the air volume delivered by the furnace. The blower motor bearings are factory lubricated and under normal operating conditions usually do not require servicing. Annual cleaning of the blower wheel and housing is recommended for maximum air output, and this must be performed only by a qualified servicer or service agency.

3.IGNITER - This unit has a special hot surface direct ignitiondevicethatautomaticallylightstheburners.Please note that it is very fragile and should be handled with care.

CAUTION: Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot.

4. BURNER - Gas burners do not normally require scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed ignition. Either condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.

Turn off gas and electric power supply. To clean burners, remove top burner bracket and lift burner from orifice.

NOTE: Be careful not to break igniter when removing burners. Clean burners with brush and/or vacuum cleaner. Reassemble parts by reversal of the above procedure.

Pub. No. 32-5034-02

NOTE: On LP (propane) units, some light yellow tipping of the outer mantle is normal. Inner mantle should be bright blue.

Natural gas units should not have any yellow tipped flames. This condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: On LP (propane) units, due to variations in BTU content and altitude, servicing may be required at shorter intervals.

5.HEAT EXCHANGER / FLUE PIPE - These items must be inspected for signs of corrosion, and/or deterioration at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician and cleaned annually for best operation.

6.CIRCUIT PROTECTION - If blower or gas valve fail to operate, the cause could be the circuit breaker or a loose or blown fuse. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.

7.OPERATION - Your warm air furnace should not be operated in a corrosive atmosphere. Paint solvents, cleaning chemicals, spray propellants, and bleaches should not be used in the vicinity of the furnace during normal operation.

8.COOLING COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN - If you have a cooling coil installed with your furnace, condensate drains should be checked and cleaned periodically to assure that condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely water damage could occur.

9.AIR CIRCULATION - To ensure increased comfort, blower on this unit may be operated continuously for both heating and cooling. This will result in constantly filtered air and aid in maintaining more even temperatures by avoiding temperature stratification throughout the conditioned area. To accomplish constant air circulation, set your thermostat fan switch to "ON".

With the new patented filter rack on the upflow models, all cleaning or replacing of filters is quick and easy. Clean filters guarantee optimum performance of your system.

Replacing your filter.

When replacing your furnace filters, use a high velocity type filter. On upflow furnaces, standard size 1" thick high velocity filters will fit into the patented filter rack which will automatically adjust in width to fit. Filters are available from your dealer.

How to remove your filter.

WARNING: Disconnect power to the

unit before removing the blower door. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

The upflow furnace blower door has a hinge at the bottom which allows the door to tilt forward for filter servicing or replacement without the door being removed. The furnace filter in the bottom or side configuration can be removed by simply turning the two latches on the blower door 1/4 turn and tilting the door forward.

Blower Door Hinge and Bottom Filter Rack Installation

The blower door may be removed if necessary by tilting the door outward 2 to 3 inches, then pulling up. The door will slide out of the hinge for removal. For replacement, simply insert the blower door bottom into the space between the furnace base front and the hinge, then tilt inward and latch.

The problem solver.

A furnace is not a household appliance. It is complex and requires professional maintenance and repair.

That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an inwarranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjustments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take care of any questions or problems you may have. A periodic inspection of your furnace should be made by a qualified service agency at the start of each heating season.

Keep your furnace looking like new for years.

Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with ordinary soap and water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the finish.

WARNING:

Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe burns, other injury, property damage, or death.

CAUTION:

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

Save time and money. Before calling for service, check the following:

Maintenance information.

Never stop the cooling system by shutting off the main power.

If the main power to your air conditioner is ever disconnected for more than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then wait for at least three more hours after the power has been restored before turning the thermostat back on. Failure to follow this procedure could result in damage to your air conditioning system.

1. GENERAL INSPECTION - Examine the furnace installation for the following items:

a.All flue product carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstruction.

b.The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.

c.The return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the space containing the furnace.

d.The physical support of the furnace should be sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around the base so as to provide a seal between the support and the base.

e.There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.

WARNING:

Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot. Failure to follow this warning could result in severe burns.

2.BLOWERS - The blower size and speed determine the air volume delivered by the furnace. The blower motor bearings are factory lubricated and under normal operating conditions usually do not require servicing. Annual cleaning of the blower wheel and housing is recommended for maximum air output, and this must be performed only by a qualified servicer or service agency.

3.IGNITER - This unit has a special hot surface direct ignitiondevicethatautomaticallylightstheburners.Please note that it is very fragile and should be handled with care.

CAUTION: Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot.

4. BURNER - Gas burners do not normally require scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed ignition. Either condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.

Turn off gas and electric power supply. To clean burners, remove top burner bracket and lift burner from orifice.

NOTE: Be careful not to break igniter when removing burners. Clean burners with brush and/or vacuum cleaner. Reassemble parts by reversal of the above procedure.

Pub. No. 32-5034-02

NOTE: On LP (propane) units, some light yellow tipping of the outer mantle is normal. Inner mantle should be bright blue.

Natural gas units should not have any yellow tipped flames. This condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: On LP (propane) units, due to variations in BTU content and altitude, servicing may be required at shorter intervals.

5.HEAT EXCHANGER / FLUE PIPE - These items must be inspected for signs of corrosion, and/or deterioration at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician and cleaned annually for best operation.

6.CIRCUIT PROTECTION - If blower or gas valve fail to operate, the cause could be the circuit breaker or a loose or blown fuse. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.

7.OPERATION - Your warm air furnace should not be operated in a corrosive atmosphere. Paint solvents, cleaning chemicals, spray propellants, and bleaches should not be used in the vicinity of the furnace during normal operation.

8.COOLING COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN - If you have a cooling coil installed with your furnace, condensate drains should be checked and cleaned periodically to assure that condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely water damage could occur.

9.AIR CIRCULATION - To ensure increased comfort, blower on this unit may be operated continuously for both heating and cooling. This will result in constantly filtered air and aid in maintaining more even temperatures by avoiding temperature stratification throughout the conditioned area. To accomplish constant air circulation, set your thermostat fan switch to "ON".
