ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic
components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from
personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect
the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in
a furnace, follow items 1. through 5. before bringing the
control or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all
used AND new controls into containers before touching
ungrounded objects.
WARNING: Turn off gas and electrical supplies to unit
before performing any maintenance or service on it.
Follow operating instructions on label attached to furnace. A failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury.
The minimum maintenance that should be performed on this
equipment is as follows:
1. Check and clean air filter each month or more frequently if
required. Replace if torn.
2. Check blower motor and wheel for cleanliness each heating
and cooling season. Clean as necessary.
3. Check electrical connections for tightness and controls for
proper operation each heating season. Service as necessary.
CAUTION: As with any mechanical equipment, personal injury can result from sharp metal edges, etc.;
therefore, be careful when removing parts.

17. If furnace is operating properly, remove tape to release
blower access door switch, replace blower access door.
III. CLEANING HEAT EXCHANGER
The following steps should be performed by a qualified service
technician:
NOTE: If the heat exchangers get a heavy accumulation of soot
and carbon, they should be replaced rather than trying to clean
them thoroughly due to their intricate design. A build-up of soot
and carbon indicates that a problem exists which needs to be
corrected, such as improper adjustment of manifold pressure,
insufficient or poor quality combustion air, incorrect size, or
damaged manifold orifice(s), improper gas, or a restricted heat
exchanger. Action must be taken to correct the problem.
If it becomes necessary to clean heat exchanger because of light
dust or corrosion proceed as follows:
