RODUCT DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
This furnace is a part of the ComfortNet™ family of products. The CTK family of thermostat kits allow this furnace to be installed as
part of a digitally communicating system. The ComfortNet system provides automatic airflow configuration, enhanced setup features, and enhanced diagnostics. It also reduces the number of thermostat wires to a maximum of four. It may be also installed as part
of a non-communicating system using a standard 24 VAC thermostat.
This product may be installed with the ComfortNet thermostat and a non-ComfortNet compatible single stage air conditioning unit.
However, this reduces the benefits of the ComfortNet system as the enhancements will only apply to the furnace.
The modulating furnace operation is based off of negative pressure created by the draft inducer. The furnace control board
receives commands from the room thermostat. The furnace control board then controls the RPM of the (3 phase) inducer by
varying the frequency and voltage to the inducer. This is known as variable frequency drive (VFD). The inducer, pressure
switches, and gas valve are linked by pneumatic tubing. The gas valve modulates based on this negative pressure.

drain. Do not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage
system in any area subject to below freezing temperatures without proper freeze protection. Refer to Condensate DrainLines and T rap for further details.
•Ensure adequate combustion air is available for the furnace. Improper or insufficient combustion air can expose building
occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide. Refer to Combustion and Ventilation Air
Requirements.
•Set the furnace on a level floor to enable proper condensate drainage. If the floor becomes wet or damp at times, place the
furnace above the floor on a concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the furnace. Refer to the
Horizontal Applications and Considerations for leveling of horizontal furnaces.
7
•Ensure upflow or horizontal furnaces are not installed directly on carpeting, or any other combustible material. The only
combustible material allowed is wood.
•A special accessory subbase must be used for upright counterflow unit installations over any combustible material (including
wood). Refer to subbase instructions for installation details. (NOTE: A subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil
is located beneath the furnace between the supply air opening and the combustible floor.
•Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance-related problems. Do not install the furnace
where the combustion air is exposed to the following substances:
permanent wave solutionschlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicalswater softening chemicals
deicing salts or chemicalscarbon tetrachloride
halogen type refrigerantscleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inkspaint removers
varnisheshydrochloric acid
cements and gluesantistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
and masonry acid washing materials
•Isolate a non-direct furnace from an area contaminated by any of the above substances. This protects the non-direct vent furnace from airborne contaminants. To ensure that the enclosed non-direct vent furnace has an adequate
supply of combustion air, air must be ducted in from a nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors. Refer to the
Combustion and V entilation Air Requirements for details.
•If the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, install the furnace upstream or in parallel with the cooling
coil. Premature heat exchanger failure will result if the cooling coil is placed upstream of the furnace.
For vertical (upflow or downflow) applications, the minimum cooling coil width shall not be less than furnace width
minus 1”. Additionally, a coil installed above an upflow furnace or under a counterflow furnace may be the same
width as the furnace or may be one size larger than the furnace. Example: a “C” width coil may be installed with
a “B” width furnace.
For upflow applications, the front of the coil and furnace must face the same direction.
•If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, position the furnace so that the burners and ignition source are located not
less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. Protect the furnace from physical damage by vehicles.
•If the furnace is installed horizontally, ensure the access doors are not on the “up/top” or “down/bottom” side of the
furnace.
•Do not connect this furnace to a chimney flue that serves a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
•On Counterflow Installations, the air conditioning coil must be downstream on the supply (positive) side of the furnace heat
exchanger.
•Counterflow Installation over a noncombustible floor. Before setting the furnace over the plenum opening, ensure the
surface around the opening is smooth and level. A tight seal should be made between the furnace base and floor by using a
silicone rubber caulking compound or cement grout.
•Counterflow Installation over a combustible floor . If installation over a combustible floor becomes necessary, use an accessory
subbase (see Specification Sheet applicable for your model for details.) A special accessory subbase must be used for upright
counterflow unit installations over any combustible material including wood. Refer to subbase instructions for installation
details. Follow the instructions with the subbase for proper installation. Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile,
or other combustible material other than wood flooring. (NOTE: The subbase will not be required if an air conditioning coil
is installed between the supply air opening on the furnace and the floor.)

EXISTING FURNACE REMOVAL
NOTE: When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances,the venting system may be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
The following vent testing procedure is reproduced from the American National Standard/National Standard of Canada for
Gas-Fired Central Furnaces ANSI Z21.4, CSA-2.3 latest edition Section 1.23.1.
The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any
other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system;
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required by the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-05 and these instructions. Determine that there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s)
connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall
operate continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation.
Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or National Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1-05.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined
above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
If resizing is required on any portion of the venting system, use the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of the

exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase the problem by starving
appliances of air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building occupants to gas combustion products that could include carbon monoxide.
When the furnace is installed as a direct vent (2-pipe system) furnace, no special provisions for air for combustion are
required. However, if this furnace is to be installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure
there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the local building codes for
determining the combustion air requirements for the appliances.
Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the furnace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connecting directly to
the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors such as attics or crawl spaces.
The following information on air for combustion and ventilation is reproduced from the National Fuel Gas Code NFP A 54/ANSI Z223.1
Section 9.3.
9.3* Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
9.3.1 General.
9.3.1.1 Air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases for appliances installed in buildings shall be obtained by application of one of the
methods covered in 9.3.2 through 9.3.6. Where the requirements of 9.3.2 are not met, outdoor air shall be introduced in accordance with methods covered
in 9.3.3 through 9.3.6.
Exception No. 1: This provision shall not apply to direct vent appliances.
9.3.1.2 Appliances of other than natural draft design and other than Category 1 vented appliances shall be provided with combustion, ventilation, and
dilution air in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
9.3.1.3 Appliances shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of combustion, ventilation, and dilution air.
9.3.1.4 Where used, a draft hood or a barometric draft regulator shall be installed in the same room or enclosure as the appliance served so as to prevent
any difference in pressure between the hood or regulator and the combustion air supply.
9.3.1.5 Makeup air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in
determining the adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.
10
9.3.2 Indoor Combustion Air. The required volume of indoor air shall be determined in accordance with the method in 9.3.2.1 or 9.3.2.2 except that
where the air infiltration rate is known to be less than 0.40 ACH, the method in 9.3.2.2 shall be used. The total required volume shall be the sum of the
required volume calculated for all appliances located within the space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed
through openings not furnished with doors, and through combustion air openings sized and located in accordance with 9.3.2.3, are considered a part of the

FRONT COVER PRESSURE SWITCH TUBE LOCATION
When an upflow model is installed horizontally with left side down or a counterflow model is installed horizontally with right
side down, the front cover pressure switch tube must be re-located to the lower port of the collector box cover.
1. Remove tube from front cover pressure switch and collector box cover.
2. Remove rubber plug from bottom collector box port and install on top collector box port.
3. Locate 24” x 1/4” tube in parts bag.
4. Install one end on front cover pressure switch.
5. Route tube to lower port on collector box cover and cut off excess tubing.
DRAIN T RAPAND LINES
In horizontal applications the condensate drain trap is secured to the furnace side panel, suspending it below the furnace. A minimum
clearance of 5 1/2 inches below the furnace must be provided for the drain trap. Additionally, the appropriate downward piping slope
must be maintained from the drain trap to the drain location. Refer to Condensate Drain T rap and Lines for further details. If the drain
trap and drain line will be exposed to temperatures near or below freezing, adequate measures must be taken to prevent condensate
from freezing.
LEVELING
Leveling ensures proper condensate drainage from the heat exchanger and induced draft blower. For proper flue pipe drainage, the
furnace must be level lengthwise from end to end. The furnace should have a slight tilt from back to front with the access doors
downhill from the back panel approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inches. The slight tilt allows the heat exchanger condensate, generated in
the recuperator coil, to flow forward to the recuperator coil front cover.
ALTERNATE ELECTRICALAND GAS LINE CONNECTIONS
This furnace has provisions allowing for electrical and gas line connections through either side panel. In horizontal applications the
connections can be made either through the “top” or “bottom” of the furnace.
DRAIN PAN
A drain pan must be provided if the furnace is installed above a conditioned area. The drain pan must cover the entire area under the
furnace (and air conditioning coil if applicable).
FREEZE PROTECTION
Refer to Horizontal Applications and Conditions - Drain T rap and Lines.

ROP ANE GAS/HIGH ALTITUDE INST ALLATIONS
WARNING
This furnace is shipped from the factory configured for natural gas
up to 10,000 ft. altitude. Propane conversions require the proper
LP kit to compensate for the energy content difference between
natural and propane gas.
For furnaces being converted to LP gas, it is strongly recommended that a LPLP03 kit also be installed. The use of this kit
will prevent the furnace from firing when the LP gas supply
pressure is too low to support proper combustion.
The indicated kit must be used to ensure safe and proper furnace
operation. All conversions must be performed by a qualified installer, or service agency.

All furnaces are built with 2" vent / intake pipe and connectors. For furnaces requiring installation of 3" pipe, the transition
from 2" to 3" should be done as close to the furnace as practically possible.
This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into any portion of a factory
built or masonry chimney except when used as a pathway for PVC as described later in this section. Never common vent this appliance
with another appliance or use a vent which is used by a solid fuel appliance.
It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations and to verify that all vent/flue piping and
connectors are compatible with furnace flue products. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and
connections possess adequate structural integrity and support to prevent flue pipe separation, shifting, or sagging during furnace
operation.
DUAL CERTIFICATION: NON-DIRECT/DIRECT VENT
This furnace is dual certified and may be installed as a non-direct
vent (single pipe) or direct vent (dual pipe) appliance. A non-directvent installation requires only a vent/flue pipe, while a direct vent

PROPER VENT/FLUEAND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING PRACTICES
Adhere to these instructions to ensure safe and proper furnace performance. The length,
diameter, and number of elbows of the vent/flue pipe and combustion air pipe (when
PREFERRED
applicable) affects the performance of the furnace and must be carefully sized. All
piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and these instructions.
Piping must be adequately secured and supported to prohibit sagging, joint separation,
and/or detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of vent/flue and combustion air
piping must be properly supported. PVC pipe supports must be no more than 5'
apart. For ABS pipe, supports must be no more than 3' apart. Horizontal pipe runs
must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope, back towards the furnace, to
properly return condensate to the furnace’s drain system.
Precautions should be taken to prevent condensate from freezing inside the vent/flue
pipe and/or at the vent/flue pipe termination. All vent/flue piping exposed to temperatures below 35°F for extended periods of time must be insulated with 1/2” thick
closed cell foam. Also, all vent/flue piping exposed outdoors in excess of the termina-
Figure 6
tions shown in this manual (or in unheated areas) must be insulated with 1/2” thick
closed cell foam. Inspect piping for leaks prior to installing insulation.

SPECIAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA
All installations in Canada must conform to the requirements of CAN/CSA B149.1 code. All vent system components, including
primer and cement, must be listed to ULC S636. The certified pipe and fittings should be clearly marked with the ULC
standard “S636”. The primer and cement used must be of the same manufacturer as the vent system. For Royal Pipe System
636; use GVS-65 Primer (Purple) and GVS-65 PVC Solvent Cement. For IPEX System 636, use PVC/CPVC Primer, Purple or
clear. Use PVC Solvent Cement (Gray).
For Canadian installations, ABS may be used as a combustion air pipe only. ABS is not an approved vent material in Canada.
If ABS is used as a combustion air pipe, it must be CSA certified. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions in the use of
primer and cement. Do not use primer and cement around potential sources of ignition. Do not use primer or cement beyond
its expiration date.
The safe operation, as defined by ULC S636, of the vent system is based on following these installation instructions, the vent
system manufacturer’s installation instructions, and proper use of primer and cement. It is recommended under this standard, that the vent system be checked once a year by qualified service personnel. All fire stops and roof flashings used with
this system must be UL listed. Acceptability under CAN/CSA B149.1 is dependent upon full compliance with all installation
instructions. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (gas inspection authority, municipal building department, fire depart-
ment, etc.) before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit. *IPEX System 636™ is a trademark of IPEX Inc.
Carefully follow the pipe manufacturers’ instructions for cutting, cleaning, and solvent cementing PVC and/or ABS.
The vent can be run through an existing unused chimney provided the space between the vent pipe and the chimney is insulated and
closed with a weather-tight, corrosion-resistant flashing.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the piping connections to the furnace are secure,
airtight, and adequately supported.
VENT PIPE CONNECTION
The vent pipe outlet is sized to accept 2” pipe. Secure vent/flue pipe directly into the furnace
fitting with the appropriate glue. Alternately, a small section of 2" pipe may be glued in the
furnace socket and a rubber coupling installed to allow removal for future service. Combustion
Air and Vent piping should be routed in a manner to avoid contact with refrigerant lines, metering
devices, condensate drain lines, etc. If necessary, clearances may be increased by creating an
offset using two 45 degree elbows. This joint can be rotated on the fitting to establish maximum
clearance between refrigerant lines, metering devices, and condensate drain lines, etc. This joint is
the equivalent of one 90 deg. elbow when considering elbow count.
COMBUSTION AIR PIPE
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
On upflow units secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling by using a
take apart rubber coupling supplied with the furnace or a plastic coupling. Also, the
intake coupling may be inverted to allow the intake pipe to be glued directly to it. After
inverting the coupling, secure it to the furnace top with screws. On counterflow units
secure the combustion air intake pipe to the air intake coupling using the rubber coupling and
worm gear hose clamps provided with the unit. The counterflow rubber coupling allows service
removal of air intake piping internal to the furnace blower compartment. The combustion air
intake pipe can also be secured directly to the counterflow unit air intake pipe coupling.

combustion air inlet, it must be installed with the arrow pointing up. It should be noted,
the combustion air will actually be moving in a direction opposite of the arrow on the RF000142 coupling. It must have a field
supplied, trapped drain tube free-draining to proper condensate disposal location. A loop in the drain tube can serve as a
trap. The unused RF000142 drain fitting should be capped.
NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
A minimum of one 90° elbow should be installed on the combustion
air intake “coupling” to guard against inadvertent blockage.

A condensing gas furnace achieves its high level of efficiency by extracting
heat from the products of combustion to the point where condensation takes place. The condensate must be collected in the
furnace drain trap and routed to an appropriate drain location in compliance with local and national codes.
Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain system. Refer to the following sections for specific details concerning furnace
drain trap installation and drain hose hook ups.
•The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be used.
•The drain trap must be primed at time of installation.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location must meet local and nation codes.
•The drain line between furnace and drain location must maintain a 1/4 inch per foot downward slope toward the drain.
•Do not trap the drain line in any other location than at the drain trap supplied with the furnace.
•If the drain line is routed through an area which may see temperatures near or below freezing, precautions must be taken
to prevent condensate from freezing within the drain line.
•If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace, a common drain may be used. An open tee must be installed in the
drain line, near the cooling coil, to relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum. This is necessary to prohibit any
interference with the function of the furnace’s drain trap.
GENERAL DRAIN INFORMATION
All furnace models come with a factory installed drain trap. For vertical installations, the trap will remain in the factory
position except for a counterflow when the installer desires the drain to exit the right side. All furnace models installed
horizontally require the trap to be relocated. Many drain hoses have a built–in grommet which will provide a cabinet seal when
installed. See following instructions for your model and installation position. NOTE: Both sides of the drain trap must be
primed prior to initial furnace start up
23
FIELD SUPPLIED DRAIN
Drain the furnace and air conditioning coil if applicable, in compliance with code requirements. In horizontal or counterflow installations, a field installed rubber coupling will allow the drain trap to be
removed for cleaning. The drain trap must be primed before initial
furnace start up. When an air conditioning coil drain is connected to
the field supplied furnace drain, it must be vented.

24 VOLT DEHUMIDISTAT WIRING
The optional usage of a dehumidistat allows the furnace’s circulator blower to operate at a slightly lower speed (85% of desired speed)
during a combined thermostat call for cooling and dehumidistat call for dehumidification. This can be done through an independent
dehumidistat or through a thermostat’s DEHUM terminal (if available). This lower blower speed enhances dehumidification of the
conditioned air as it passes through the AC coil. For proper function, a dehumidistat applied to this furnace must operate on 24 VAC
and utilize a switch which opens on humidity rise. Refer to the “Thermostat Wiring Diagrams” figure for additional wiring
details.
To install/connect a dehumidistat:
1. Turn OFF power to furnace.
2. Secure the dehumidistat neutral wire (typically the white lead) to the terminal marked “DEHUM” on the furnace integrated
control module.
3. Secure the dehumidistat hot wire (typically the black lead) to the terminal marked “R” on the furnace integrated control
module.
4. Secure the dehumidistat ground wire (typically the green lead) to the ground screw on the furnace junction box. NOTE:
Ground wire may not be present on all dehumidistats.
5. If the condenser is a straight cooling unit, install a jumper from Y1 to 0 on the furnace board.
6. Turn ON power to furnace.
To enable the dehumidify function on the integrated control module, set the dehumidification ENABLE DIP switch from OFF to ON.
Once the switch is set, the dehumidify function is enabled during a combination call for cooling (T-Stat) and dehumidification
(DEHUM-Stat). Refer to the DIP switch chart in the back section of this manual.

the furnace, the wiring must conform to all local codes, and have a minimum temperature rating of 105°C. All line voltage wire splices must be made inside the furnace
junction box.
The furnace control board HUM (dry contacts) are closed whenever the inducer is
energized in a non-communicating installation. When used with a CTK02**, CTK03
or CTK04 communicating thermostat, the HUM terminals are closed whenever there
is a call for humidity. The integrated control module electronic air cleaner terminals
(EAC) are energized with 115 volts whenever the circulator blower is energized.

GAS PIPING CONNECTIONS
WARNING
The gas piping supplying the furnace must be properly sized based
on the gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas, and length of
the run. The gas line installation must comply with local codes, or
in their absence, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149.1 in Canada.
To connect the furnace to the building’s gas piping, the installer
must supply a ground joint union, drip leg, manual shutoff valve,
and line and fittings to connect to gas valve. In some cases, the
installer may also need to supply a transition piece from 1/2" pipe
to a larger pipe size.
The following stipulations apply when connecting gas piping. Re-
fer to Gas Piping Connections figure for typical gas line connec-
tions to the furnace.
• Gas piping must be supported external to the furnace
cabinet so that the weight of the gas line does not distort
the burner rack, manifold or gas valve.
• Use black iron or steel pipe and fittings for building piping.
Where possible, use new pipe that is properly chamfered,
reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If old pipe is used, be
sure it is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and old
pipe joint compound.
• Use pipe joint compound on male threads ONLY. Always use
pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that is APPROVED FOR ALL
GASES. DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads.
• Use ground joint unions.

For satisfactory operation, propane gas pressure must be 10” WC + .5” WC at the furnace manifold with all gas appliances in
operation. Maintaining proper gas pressure depends on three main factors:
1. Vaporization rate, depending on temperature of the liquid, and “wetted surface” area of the container or containers.
2. Proper pressure regulation. (Two-stage regulation is recommended for both cost and efficiency).
3. Pressure drop in lines between regulators, and between second stage regulator and the appliance. Pipe size will depend on
length of pipe run and total load of all appliances.
Complete information regarding tank sizing for vaporization, recommended
regulator settings, and pipe sizing is available from most regulator manufacturers and propane gas suppliers.

Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air Conditioning,
Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. For upflow installations requiring 1800 CFM or more, use either two side returns or bottom return or a
combination of side and bottom. Flexible joints may be used for supply and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To
prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed
between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber.

CHECKING DUCT STATIC
Refer to your furnace rating plate for the maximum ESP (external duct static) rating.
Total external static refers to everything external to the furnace cabinet. Cooling coils, filters, ducts, grilles, registers must
all be considered when reading your total external static pressure. The supply duct pressure must be read between the
furnace and the cooling coil. This reading is usually taken by removing the “A” shaped block off plate from the end on the
coil; drilling a test hole in it and reinstalling the block off plate. Take a duct static reading at the test hole. Tape up the test
hole after your test is complete. The negative pressure must be read between the filter and the furnace blower.
Excessive external static pressure will result in insufficient air which can cause excessive temperature rise. This can cause
limit switch tripping and heat exchanger failure.
To determine total external duct static pressure, proceed as follows;
1. With clean filters in the furnace, use a draft gauge (inclined manometer) to measure the static pressure of the return
duct at the inlet of the furnace. (Negative Pressure)
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct. (Positive Pressure)
3. The difference between the two numbers is your total external static pressure.
Example:
static reading from return duct = -0.1" W.C.
static reading from supply duct = +0.3" W.C.
total external static pressure on this system = 0.4" W.C.
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read directly
on the manometer if so desired. If an air conditioner coil or Electronic Air Cleaner is used in conjunction with the furnace, the readings must also include these components, as shown in the following
drawing.
4. Consult proper tables for the quantity of air.
If the total external static pressure exceeds the maximum listed on
the furnace rating plate, check for closed dampers, registers, undersized and/or oversized poorly laid out duct work.
The temperature rise of the furnace must be within the temperature
rise range listed on the furnace rating plate.

BOTTOM RETURN AIR OPENING [UPFLOW MODELS]
The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in the
base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the duct
opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the sheet metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the opening,
cut the sheet metal along the scribe lines to free the duct flanges.
Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide, bend the
duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening using a pair of
seamer pliers or seamer tongs.
NOTE: Airflow area will be reduced by approximately 18% if duct
flanges are not folded open. This could cause performance issues and noise issues.

The line pressure supplied to the gas valve must be within the range specified in the Inlet Gas Supply Pressure table. The supply
pressure can be measured at the gas valve inlet pressure tap or at a hose fitting installed in the gas piping drip leg. The supply
pressure must be measured with the burners operating. To measure the gas supply pressure, use the following procedure:
1. Turn OFF gas to furnace at the manual gas shutoff valve external
to the furnace.
2. Connect a calibrated water manometer (or appropriate gas
pressure gauge) at either the gas valve inlet pressure tap or the
gas piping drip leg. See Honeywell VR9205R gas valve figure for
location of inlet pressure tap.
NOTE: If measuring gas pressure at the drip leg or Honeywell VR9205R
gas valve, a field-supplied hose barb fitting must be installed prior to
making the hose connection.
3. Turn ON the gas supply, check for leaks and operate the furnace
and all other gas consuming appliances on the same gas supply
line.
NOTE: To bring furnace up to High Fire, see instructions for
field test mode in GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

4. Attach a hose and manometer to the outlet pressure barb fitting.
5. Turn ON the gas supply.
6. Turn on power and close thermostat “R” and “W1” contacts to provide a call for low stage heat.
7. Modulating furnaces light at 80% of max input. For natural gas, the expected manifold pressure at ignition will be in a
range of 1.8” - 2.5” W.C. For LP gas, the range will be 5.8” - 6.8” W.C.
NOTE: Measure the gas manifold pressure with the burners firing. After every time the main power is turned off and
back on, the furnace will enter a calibration routine on the next call for heat The inducer will ramp up and down during
the calibration routine. After calibration, the furnace will proceed to ignition cycle.
8. Field Test Mode is intended to help a service person troubleshoot and check out an installed appliance by bringing the
furnace up to High fire (100% input), by-passing the normal modulating routing.
To enter Field Test Mode the Fault Recall Push-Button must be pressed twice within a 5 second period at any time
during a heating cycle, at which time the display will show “Ft”. While the display is showing “Ft”, pressing and
holding the Fault Recall Push-Button for 3 seconds will enable the field test mode and override the normal firing rate
sequence at a rate of 100% for 5 minutes or until the end of the call for heat. The display will show the normal “Hi”
while the control is firing at 100%. If the Fault Recall Push-Button has not been pressed within 5 seconds of displaying
“Ft” the display will revert back to normal.
NOTE: Gas valve is factory set and does NOT require
any field adjustment. Do NOT attempt to adjust valve.
9. Turn off all electrical power and gas supply to the system.
10. Remove the manometer hose from the hose barb fitting.
11. Remove the 1/8" NPT hose barb fitting from the outlet pressure tap. Replace the outlet pressure tap plug and seal with a high

GAS INPUT RATE MEASUREMENT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
The actual gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas
input using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances except the furnace.
42
2. While the furnace is operating at high fire rate, time and record one complete revolution of the gas meter dial measuring
the smallest quantity, usually the dial that indicates 1/2 cu. ft. per revolution. You will use this number to calculate
the quantity of gas in cubic ft. if the furnace would consume if it ran steadily for one hour (3600 seconds).
3. If the 1/2 cu. ft. dial was used, multiply your number x 2.
EXAMPLE: If it took 23 seconds to complete one revolution of the 1/2 ft. dial.
This tells us that at this rate, it would take 46 seconds to consume one cu. ft. of gas. 23 x 2 = seonds per cu. ft.
3600 (secs in 1 hour) / 46 = 78
This tells us that in one hour, the furnace would consume 78 cu. ft. of gas.
The typical caloric range for 1 cu. ft. of natural gas is around 1000 BTU. Check with your gas utility, if possible. In this
example, the furnace is consuming 78,000 BTUH.
NOTE: The final manifold pressure cannot vary by more than ± 0.3” w.c. for Natural and
+ 0.5” for LP from the
specified setting. Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate adjustment is required.
4. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly and
that all pilot burners are operating.
TEMPERATURE RISE
Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in
condensing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and temperature rise table is provided in the Specification
Sheet applicable to your model. Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct dampers
are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as close to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must not be
influenced by radiant heat by being able to “see” the heat exchanger.
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow
adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise. Refer to Startup Procedure and Adjustment -Circulator BlowerSpeeds for speed changing details.

CIRCULATOR BLOWER SPEEDS
This furnace is equipped with an ECM circulator blower. The heating blower speed is shipped set at “B”, and the cooling blower
speed setting is “D”. These blower speeds should be adjusted by
the installer to match the installation requirements so as to provide the correct heating temperature rise and correct cooling CFM.
Use the dual 7-segment LED display adjacent to the DIP switches to
obtain the approximate airflow quantity. The airflow quantity is
displayed as a number on the display, rounded to the nearest 100
CFM. The display alternates airflow delivery indication and the operating mode indication.
Example: The airflow being delivered is 1225 CFM. The display
indicates 12. If the airflow being delivered is 1275, the display
indicates 13.
1. Determine the tonnage of the cooling system installed with the
furnace. If the cooling capacity is in BTU/hr divide it by 12,000
to convert capacity to TONs.
Example: Cooling Capacity of 30,000 BTU/hr.
30,000/12,000 = 2.5 Tons
2. Determine the proper air flow for the cooling system. Most
cooling systems are designed to work with air flows between
350 and 450 CFM per ton. Most manufacturers recommend an
air flow of about 400 CFM per ton.
Example: 2.5 tons X 400 CFM per ton = 1000 CFM
The cooling system manufacturer’s instructions must be checked
for required air flow. Any electronic air cleaners or other devices
may require specific quantity of air, consult installation instructions of those devices for requirements.
3. Knowing the furnace model, locate the high stage cooling air
flow table. Look up the cooling air flow determined in step 2
and find the required cooling speed and adjustment setting.
Example:A *MVM970603BN furnace installed with a 2.5 ton
air conditioning system. The air flow needed is
1000 CFM. Looking at the cooling speed chart for
*MVM970603BN, find the air flow closest to 1000
CFM. A cooling airflow of 1000 CFM can be
attained by selecting the cooling speed “C” and
the adjustment to “normal”.

OVERVIEW
NOTE: DIP switch #13 MUST be set to match thermostat type. T o use the CTK01 communicating thermostat, DIP switch #13
must be set to ON position. This is also the correct setting for a non-communicating 2-stage thermostat. T o use the CTK02**,
CTK03** or CTK04** modulating thermostat, check to make sure DIP switch #13 is in the OFF position (factory position). This
is also the correct position when using a non-communicating single stage thermostat.
The ComfortNet system is a system that includes a ComfortNet compatible furnace and air conditioner or heat pump with a CTK0*
thermostat. A valid ComfortNet system could also be a compatible furnace, CTK0* thermostat and non-compatible, single stage air
conditioner. Any other system configurations are considered invalid ComfortNet systems and must be connected as a traditional (or
non-communicating) system (see Electrical Connections for wiring connections).
45
A ComfortNet heating/air conditioning system differs from a non-communicating/traditional system in the manner in which the
indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat interact with one another. In a traditional system, the thermostat sends commands to the
indoor and outdoor units via analog 24 VAC signals. It is a one-way communication path in that the indoor and outdoor units typically
do not return information to the thermostat.
The indoor unit, outdoor unit and thermostat comprising a ComfortNet system “communicate” digitally with one another, creating
a two-way communications path. The thermostat still sends commands to the indoor and outdoor units. However, the thermostat
may also request and receive information from both the indoor and outdoor units. This information may be displayed on the
ComfortNet thermostat. The indoor and outdoor units also interact with one another. The outdoor unit may send commands to or
request information from the indoor unit. This two-way digital communications between the thermostat and subsystems (indoor/
outdoor unit) is the key to unlocking the benefits and features of the ComfortNet system.
Two-way digital communications is accomplished using only two wires. The thermostat and subsystem controls are powered with 24
VAC. Thus, a maximum of 4 wires between the equipment and thermostat is all that is required to operate the system.
AIRFLOW CONSIDERATIONS
Airflow demands are managed differently in a communicating
system than they are in a non-communicating wired system.
The system operating mode (as determined by the thermostat) determines which unit calculates the system airflow demand. If the furnace is responsible for determining the airflow demand, it calculates the demand and sends it to the ECM
motor. If the outdoor unit or thermostat is responsible for
determining the demand, it calculates the demand and transmits the demand along with a fan request to the indoor unit.
The furnace then sends the demand to the ECM motor. The
following table lists the various ComfortNet systems, the operating mode, and airflow demand source.
For example, assume the system is an air conditioner matched
with a furnace. With a call for low stage cooling, the air conditioner will calculate the system’s low stage cooling airflow demand. The air conditioner will then send a fan request along
with the low stage cooling airflow demand to the furnace. Once
received, the furnace will send the low stage cooling airflow
demand to the ECM motor. The ECM motor then delivers the
low stage cooling airflow. See the applicable ComfortNet air
conditioner or heat pump installation manual for the airflow
delivered during cooling or heat pump heating.

In continuous fan mode, the CTK0* thermostat provides the
airflow demand. The thermostat may be configured for one of three continuous fan speed settings allow for 25%, 50% or
75% airflow, based on the furnaces’ maximum airflow capability. During continuous fan operation, the thermostat sends a
fan request along with the continuous fan demand to the furnace. The furnace, in turn, sends the demand to the ECM
motor. The ECM motor delivers the requested continuous fan airflow.
FOSSIL FUEL APPLICATIONS
This furnace can be used in conjunction with a ComfortNet™ compatible heat pump in a fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel
application refers to a combined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an outdoor temperature sensor to determine the
most cost efficient means of heating (heat pump or gas furnace). When used with the CTK0* thermostat, the furnace/heat pump
system is automatically configured as a fossil fuel system. The balance point temperature may be adjusted via the CTK0*
thermostat advanced user menus (see CTK0* instructions for additional information).
Communicating thermostats are used only with Bias, Pull Up, Pull Down dip switches.

CTK0* WIRING
NOTE: Refer to Electrical Connections for 115 volt line connections to the furnace.
NOTE: A removable plug connector is provided with the control to make thermostat wire connections. This plug may be removed,
wire connections made to the plug, and replaced. It is
that multiple wires into a single terminal be twisted together prior to inserting
into the plug connector. Failure to do so may result in intermittent operation.
Typical 18 AWG thermostat wire may be used to wire the system components.
One hundred (100) feet is the maximum length of wire between indoor unit and
outdoor unit, or between indoor unit and thermostat. Wire runs over (100) feet
require larger gauge wire.

COMFORTNET™ SYSTEM ADVANCED F EATURES
The ComfortNet system permits access to additional system information, advanced setup features, and advanced diagnostic/
troubleshooting features. These advanced features are organized into a menu structure. The menus are accessed and navigated as
described in the instructions provided with the communicating control.
48
DIAGNOSTICS
Accessing the furnace’s diagnostics menu provides ready access to the last ten faults detected by the furnace. Faults are stored
most recent to least recent. Any consecutively repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times. Example: A clogged return air
filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly. The control will only store this fault the first three consecutive times the fault
occurs.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be cleared when performing maintenance or servicing the furnace.
NETWORKTROUBLESHOOTING
The indoor control is equipped with a bank of three DIP switches that provide biasing and termination functions for the communications transmission lines. The outdoor control in the communicating compatible unit is equipped with a bank of two DIP
switches that provide termination functions for the communications transmission lines. Communications errors will result if
these switches are not correctly set. Note that the ON position is the correct position for all bias and pull up/pull down DIP
switches.
The ComfortNet™ system is a fully communicating system, and thus, constitutes a network. Occasionally the need to troubleshoot
the network may arise. The furnace control board has some on-board tools that may be used to troubleshoot the network. These
tools are: red communications LED, green receive (Rx) LED, and learn button.
•Red communications LED – Indicates the status of the network. The table below indicates the LED status and the
corresponding potential problem.
•Green receive LED – Indicates network traffic. The table below indicates the LED status and the corresponding potential
problem.
•Learn button – Used to reset the network. Depress the button for approximately 2 seconds to reset the network.
SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

ORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
POWER UP
The normal power up sequence is as follows:
• 115 VAC power applied to furnace.
• Integrated control module performs internal checks.
• Integrated control module monitors safety circuits continuously.
• Furnace awaits call from thermostat. Dual 7-segment LED’s display O while awaiting call from thermostat.
HEATING MODE
The normal operational sequence in heating mode is as follows:
• Thermostat contacts close, initiating a call for heat.
• Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.
• Induced draft blower is energized on high speed for a 15-second prepurge.
• Induced draft blower steps to low speed following prepurge. Low stage pressure switch contacts are closed.
• Igniter warm up begins upon step to low speed and presence of closed low stage pressure switch contacts.
• Gas valve opens at end of igniter warm up period, delivering gas to burners and establishing flame.
• Integrated control module monitors flame presence. Gas valve will remain open only if flame is detected.
• The percentage of heating demand is sent from the furnace control board to determine what RPM the draft inducer
should run at. A higher percentage demand will drive the inducer RPM higher. This will cause the gas valve to modulate
higher. The burner will modulate based on the inducer speed
• Circulator blower is energized on heat speed following a thirty (30) second blower on delay. The circulator blower CFM will
increase or decrease with gas valve modulation. Electronic air cleaner terminal is energized with circulator blower.
• Furnace is now operating on the specified stage called for by the thermostat.
• Furnace runs, integrated control module monitors safety circuits continuously.
• If the two-stage thermostat changes the call from low heat to high heat, the integrated control module will immediately switch
the induced draft blower, gas valve, and circulator blower to their high stage settings.
• The thermostat contacts open, completing the call for heat.
• Gas valve closes, extinguishing flame.
• Induced draft blower is de-energized following a fifteen second post purge. Humidifier contacts open.
• Circulator blower continues running for the selected heat off delay period (90, 120, 150 or 180 seconds). The speed run during
this period depends on the last heat call provided by the thermostat.
If the last call for heat was a call for high heat, the air circulating motor will run on the high heating speed for thirty (30) seconds
and then switch to the low heating speed for the balance of the heat off delay period (60, 90, 120 or 150 seconds).
• Circulator blower and electronic air cleaner terminal is de-energized.
• Circulator blower ramps down to OFF during the 30 seconds following the heat off delay period.
• Furnace awaits next call from thermostat.
COOLING MODE
The normal operational sequence in cooling mode is as follows:
• R and Y1/G or Y2/G thermostat contacts close, initiating a call for cool.
• Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.
• Outdoor fan and compressor are energized to their appropriate speed.
50
• Circulator blower is energized on the appropriate cool speed at the level and time determined by the selected ramping profile.
Electronic air cleaner terminal is energized with circulator blower.
• Furnace circulator blower and outdoor cooling unit run their appropriate speeds, integrated control module monitors safety
circuits continuously.
• R and Y1/G or Y2/G thermostat contacts open, completing the call for cool.
• Outdoor fan and compressor are de-energized.
• Circulator blower continues running during a cool off delay period. The OFF delay time and airflow level are determined by the
selected ramping profile.
•Electronic air cleaner terminal and circulator blower are de-energized.
• Furnace awaits next call from thermostat.
FAN ONLY MODE
The normal operational sequence in fan only mode is as follows:
• R and G thermostat contacts close, initiating a call for fan.
• Integrated control module performs safety circuit checks.
• Circulator blower is energized on continuous fan speed (25%, 50%, 75% or 100% DIP switch selectable when using a
conventional thermostat). Electronic air cleaner terminal is energized.
• The furnace control board HUM dry contacts close.
• R and G thermostat contacts open, completing the call for fan.
• Circulator blower is de-energized. Electronic air cleaner terminal is de-energized.
• Furnace awaits next call from thermostat.
O
PERA TIONAL CHECKS
The burner flames should be inspected with the burner compartment door installed.
Flames should be stable, quiet, soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must
not be yellow). Flames should extend directly outward from the burners without curling,
floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger
firing tubes.
S
AFETY CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A number of safety circuits are employed to ensure safe and proper furnace operation.
These circuits serve to control any potential safety hazards and serve as inputs in the
monitoring and diagnosis of abnormal function. These circuits are continuously monitored during furnace operation by the integrated
control module.
Check t he
Burner Flames for:
1. Stable, soft and blue.
2. Not curling, floating
or lifting off.

Figure 53
FURNACE CONTROL BOARD
The furnace control board is an electronic device which, if a potential safety concern is detected, will take the necessary precautions
and provide diagnostic information through an LED display.
PRIMARY LIMIT
The primary limit control is located on the partition panel and monitors heat exchanger compartment temperatures. It is a normallyclosed (electrically), automatic reset, temperature-activated sensor. The limit guards against overheating as a result of insufficient
conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger.
AUXILIARY LIMIT
The auxiliary limit controls are located on or near the circulator blower and monitors blower compartment temperatures. They are a
normally-closed (electrically), auto-reset sensors. These limits guard against overheating as a result of insufficient conditioned air
passing over the heat exchanger.
51
ROLLOUT LIMIT
The rollout limit controls are mounted on the burner/manifold assembly and monitor the burner flame. They are normally-closed
(electrically), manual-reset sensors. These limits guard against burner flames not being properly drawn into the heat exchanger.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The pressure switches are normally-open (closed during operation) negative air pressure-activated switches. They monitor the
airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger via pressure taps located on the induced draft blower and the
coil front cover. These switches guard against insufficient airflow (combustion air and flue products) through the heat exchanger
and/or blocked condensate drain conditions.
FLAME SENSOR
The flame sensor is a probe mounted to the burner/manifold assembly which uses the principle of flame rectification to determine the
presence or absence of flame.
T
ROUBLESHOOTING
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage. By
putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the integrated control module 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 away from the control. Any tools held in a person’s hand during
grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not to recharge
your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.). If you come
in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if installing the
control on a furnace. Return any old or new controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded object.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Refer to the T roubleshooting Codes for assistance in determining
the source of unit operational problems. The dual 7-segment LED
display will display an error code that may contain a letter and
number. The error code may be used to assist in troubleshooting
the unit.

WARNING
.
RESETTING FROM LOCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is character-
ized by a non-functioning furnace and a E 0 code displayed on the dual 7-segment display. If the furnace is in “lockout”, it will (or can
be) reset in any of the following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal operations
following a one hour lockout period.
2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 115 volt power to the furnace.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that there is no longer a call for heat for 1 -20 seconds then reset to
previous setting.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the Troubleshooting
Codes for aid in determining the cause.

AINTENANCE
WARNING
ANNUAL INSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all furnace components are in proper working order and that the heating
system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention to the following items. Repair or service as necessary.

FILTERS
CAUTION
FILTER MAINTENANCE
Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inadequate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be cleaned
(permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months or as required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a filter of
the same type and size.
TO
ENSURE PROPER UNIT PERFORMANCE, ADHERE TO THE FILTER SIZES
GIVEN IN THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM FILTER SIZE TABLE OR
PECIFICATION SHEET APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
S
,
,
.
FILTER REMOVAL
Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in either the central return register
or a side panel external filter rack (upflow only). A media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate filter. Follow
the filter sizes given in the Recommended Minimum Filter size table to ensure proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit.
HORIZONTAL UNIT FILTER REMOVAL
Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return register or the ductwork near the furnace.
To remove:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from the central return register or ductwork.
3. Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.
4. Turn ON electrical power to furnace.
MEDIA AIR FILTEROR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER REMOVAL
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for service.
BURNERS
Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heating season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow several
minutes for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged dust will alter the flames normal appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft,
and blue (dust may cause orange tips but they must not be yellow). They should extend directly outward from the burners without
curling, floating, or lifting off. Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger firing tubes.
53
INDUCED DRAFTAND C IRCULATOR BLOWERS
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further
lubrication is required. Check openings on motor housing for accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as
necessary.
CONDENSATE TRAPAND DRAIN SYSTEM (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-supplied drain line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain system for
hose connection tightness, blockage, and leaks. Clean or repair as necessary.
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and will lock
out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the
flame sense signal should be as indicated in the Specifications Sheet.
