Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience. Have this system inspected at regular
intervals by qualified service personnel, at least twice a year. Routine maintenance should cover the following items:
1. Tighten all set screws, and wire connections.
2. Clean evaporator and condenser coils mechanically or with
cold water, if necessary. Usually any fouling is only matted
on the entering air face of the coil and can be removed by
brushing.
3. Replace filters as needed (see below).
4. Check for blockage of condensate drain.
5. Check power and control voltages.
6. Check running amperage.
7. Check operating temperatures and pressures.
8. Check and adjust temperature and pressure controls.
9. Check and adjust damper linkages.
10. Check operation of all safety controls.
11. Examine gas furnaces (see below and the User’s
Information Manual).
12. Check condenser fans and tighten set screws.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO FIRE AND LOSS OF
EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY OR EQUIPME NT DAMAGE DUE TO DUST AND LINT
BUILD UP ON INTERNAL PARTS, NEVER OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT AN AIR
FILTER INSTALLED IN THE RETURN AIR S YSTEM.
Every application may require a different frequency of replacement of dirty filters. Filters must be replaced at least every three
(3) months during operating seasons.
Dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate heating or
cooling performance. Filter inspection should be made at least
every two months; more often if necessary because of local conditions and usage.
Dirty throwaway filters should be discarded and replaced with a
new, clean filter.
Disposable return air filters are supplied with this unit. See the
unit Specification Sheet or Technical Manual for the correct size
and part number. To remove the filters, remove the filter access
panel on return side of the unit.
CABINET FINISH MAINTENANCE
Use a fine grade automotive wax on the cabinet finish to maintain
the finish’s original high luster. This is especially important in installations with extended periods of direct sunlight.
CLEAN OUTSIDE COIL (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
The coil with the outside air flowing over it should be inspected
annually and cleaned as frequently as necessary to keep the finned
areas free of lint, hair and debris.
CONDENSER AND INDUCED DRAFT MOTORS
Bearings on the condenser fan motors and the combustion fan
motor are permanently lubricated. No additional oiling is required.
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
A drop in the flame current can be caused by a nearly invisible
coating on the flame sensor. This coating, created by the fuel or
combustion air supply, can be removed by carefully cleaning the
flame sensor with steel wool.
NOTE: After cleaning, the microamp signal should be stable and in
the range of 4 - 6 microamps DC.
FLUE PASSAGES (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
At the start of each heating season, inspect and, if necessary, clean
the unit flue passage.
LUBRICATION
The fan shaft bearings, the 1 to 2 HP supply fan motors, the condenser fan motors and compressors are permanently lubricated.

INSPECTION & CLEANING
All flue product carrying areas of the furnace, its vent system, and
main burners should be examined by a qualified service agency
before the start of each heating season. This examination is necessary for continued safe operation. Particular attention should be
given to deterioration from corrosion or other sources. This examination is accomplished in the following manner.
1. Disconnect power to the unit and remove furnace section
access panel.
2. Remove burner assembly:
a. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve after noting which
wires are connected to each terminal.
b. Disconnect wires from the flame rod and ignition
electrode.
c. Disconnect the gas piping at the union.
d. The entire burner assembly can now be removed from
the unit.
NOTE: Use all screws that were removed; they are necessary for
safe and proper operation of the unit.
3. Inspect and periodically clean the vent outlet (bird screen)
on the access panel.
NOTE: Periodic observation of the flame and a log of C0
measurements are recommended. This will aid in determining
whether the furnace is operating efficiently or if the furnace
requires cleaning.
Flames should be stable, soft and blue (dust may cause orange
tips but must not be yellow). The flames must extend directly outward from the burner without curling, floating or lifting off.
Check the burner flames for:
1. Good adjustment
2. Stable, soft and blue
3. Not curling, floating, or lifting off.
Burner Flame
WARNING
NOTE: This will involve removing and reinstalling the heat
exchanger door on the unit, which is held by two screws. If you are
uncertain about your ability to do this, contact a qualified servicer.
If a strong wind is blowing, it may alter the airflow pattern within
the unit enough that an inspection of the burner flames is not
possible.

TROUBLESHOOTING
IGNITION CONTROL ERROR CODES
The following presents probable causes of questionable unit operation. Refer to Diagnostic Indicator Chart for an interpretation
of the signal and to this section for an explanation.
Remove the control box access panel and note the number of diagnostic LED flashes. Refer to Diagnostic Indicator Chart for an
interpretation of the signal and to this section for an explanation.
Internal Control Failure
If the integrated ignition control in this unit encounters an internal fault, it will go into a “hard” lockout and turn off the diagnostic
2
LED. If diagnostic LED indicates an internal fault, check power supply to unit for proper voltage, check all fuses, circuit breakers and
wiring. Disconnect electric power for five seconds. If LED remains
off after restoring power, replace control.
ABNORMAL OPERATION - HEATING CODES
External Lockout (1 FLASH CODE)
An external lockout occurs if the integrated ignition control determines that a measurable combustion cannot be established within
three (3) consecutive ignition attempts. If flame is not established
within the seven (7) second trial for ignition, the gas valve is
deenergized, 15 second inter-purge cycle is completed, and ignition is reattempted. The control will repeat this routine three times
if a measurable combustion is not established. The control will
then shut off the induced draft blower and go into a lockout state.
If flame is established but lost, the control will energize the circulator blower at the heat speed and then begin a new ignition sequence. If flame is established then lost on subsequent attempts,
the control will recycle for four (4) consecutive ignition attempts
(five attempts total) before locking out.

C
At least once a year, prior to or during the heating season, make a
visual check of the burner flames.
The diagnostic fault code is 1 flash for a lockout due to failed ignition attempts or flame dropouts. The integrated control will automatically reset after one hour, or it can be reset by removing the
thermostat signal or disconnecting the electrical power supply for
over five seconds. If the diagnostic LED indicates an external lockout, perform the following checks:
