FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND YOUR HOME

Your furnace is equipped with safety devices that may keep it from operating if there are any abnormal con-

ditions affecting the furnace and L.P. models may not operate if there is even a brief or slight interruption

in the electric power or gas supply, tf your furnace remains shut down long enough dur-

ing freezing temperatures, for water pipes to freeze it could result in serious water damage, tf your home will be unattended during this time you

should take these precautions.

1. Shut the water off at the main inlet into your home anddrain the water lines if possible,

2. Have someone check your home as often as necessary for temperature conditions that could cause water damage. Suggest they call a qualified service agency if required,

COMBUSTION AIR/INDOOR ,HUMIDITY

(How. They Affect Your Safety and Comfort)

An energy efficient home or a home using exhaus_

fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and gas appliances in- creases this problem and your appliances could be

starving for air, which is unsafe.

This'_ay result in more and more air being drawn from

the house until fresh air is sucked in through an ap- pliance flue or fireplace chimney. Carbon monoxide

can be the result.

Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless

Your home needs to breathe and the different temperatures and humidity ranges in your home dur-

ing the year makes it necessary to be sensitive to air requirements and potential ventilation problems.

gas produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.

CARBON MONOXIDE CAN RESULT IN

ASPHYXIATION.

Because of high energy costs for home heating, new materials and methods are being used in con-

struction and remodeling. The improved construction and additional insulation has made these homes much

tighter around windows and doors so that air leakage is minimal. This may create a problem in supplying

enough combustion and ventilation air for gas-fired or other fuel burning appliances. Fresh air is needed for

combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

1. Headaches-Nausea-Dizziness

2. Excessive humidity-Heavily frosted win-

dows or a moist "clammy" feeling in the home.

3. Smoke from the fireplace won't draw up

the chimney.

4. Flue gases ,won't draw up the appliance

flue pipe.

1. How do I know if my furnace or other appliances are receiving enough

air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases?

Be aware of these air starvation signalsi

Use the following checkout procedure to determine

if the air leakage into your home is adequate tosupp- tyth e needs of your appliances and fireplace. If you are uncertain about your ability to perform these

checks contact your installing dealer or place of purchase.

Make the inspection as follows:

Close all doors and windows. If you have a fireplace, start a fire and wait until flames are bur- ing vigorously.

2. Turn on all exhausting devices, such as: kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans - dryers (gas or

electric)

3. Turn on all vented gas appliances, such as: heating equipment (includes any room heaters) water

heaters.

4. Wait ten (10) minutes for drafts to stabilize.

5. Check for draft hood spillage at each appliance. (Hold a lighted_matCh 2" from draft opening as : shown for the:typical gas water heaterii :

FIG. 1 CHECK :FOR DRAFT HOOD SPILLAGE

B. No Spillage -

if match flame pulls toward draft hood, this in-

dicates sufficient infiltration air. Return exhausting devices and appliances to the condition you found them.

C. Drafthood Spillage - _ _::_:

If there is spillage at a draft hood - (rfi_ch goes

out or flame wavers away from draft'Jiood):

1. Check for plugged flue connectors and chimneys. Check and repair stoppage and test again.

2. if you have a fireplace, open a window or door near the fireplace and then check for spillage. a. If spillage stops, do not use the fireplace until

you can supply fresh air by a permanent duct.

3. If you have kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans turn them off and check for spillage. a. If spillage stops, do not use exhaust fans until

you can supply fresh air by a permanent duct. Circuit breakers for fans should be turned off.

2. What is Relative Humidity and how do I know if it is tOo high or low?

4. Spillage means air starvation and a fresh air duct or air intakes must be installed to provide air

directly to the furnace or other gas appliance. These must comply with local and state building

codes or in their absence with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, current edition.

Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air

relative to the amount the air can hold at the same tempera- ture. Example: At 40% relative humidity, the air can hold

60% more moisture before it is saturated.

The colder the air, the less moisture it can hold. As air is warmed, its ability to hold moisture is increased. Example;

A winter day, outdoor temperature 10°F, and relative

humidity of 70%. If that air enters a home and is warmed

to 72°F the relative humidity will drop to 6% (very dry) if

no more moisture is added.

Relative humidity is important to your health and home as

proper humidification helps cut down on incidences of

respiratory illness and helps keep air cleaner and fresher.

HAS YOUR FURNACE BEEN REPLACED?

This furnace is very efficient and has a much smaller vent (flue) pipe with a brower in the venting system.

The smalMr vent and blower increases the efficiency of the furnace but they will also decrease the amount of natural

air infiltration into the house. This is because less air will

escape up the vent system during the off cycle so less cold

dry air will enter the house by it_fllteration, This in conjunc-

tion with other items may cause the humidity to raise to

uncomfortable levels. This condition can usually be elimi- nated by minor changes in everyday routines, see "If Humidity Is Too High".

VISUAL METHODS OF GAUGING INDOOR

HUMIDITY:

• Frequent fogging or excessive condensation on inside windows indicates the indoor humidity level is too high

for outdoor weather conditions. Damage to the buiiding

may result if the condition persists. (Condensation on in-

side of storm windows indicates loose inside windows.

Adding weatherstripping to tighten inside windows usually corrects this problem.)

• Drop three ice cubes into a glass of water and stir. If, within three minutes, moisture does not form on the

glass, the air is too dry and a humidifier would be

beneficial. (Do not perform this test in the kitchen, as cooking vapors may produce inaccurate results.)

A good relative humidity is one just high enough to barely start condensation along the lower edges or tower corners of the windows. More than that can be damaging°

IF HUMIDITY IS TOOHiGH,I. '_!' "

Condensation occurs when Warm; moist air Cdntacts a_c6o! surface (window or outside wall, for,example), add drops of

water or a coating of frost form. The c05densation problem increases as the outside temperature decreases.

A high humidity level usually result s fr0i:n bathing or cook- ing, etc. Suggestions for correcting this problem:

1. Turn down or discontinue use of humidifier.

2, Use range and bathroom exhaust fans while cooking and

bathing or open a door or window for a few minutes to

bring in cool dryer air.

3. Cook with pans covered.

4. Take shorter baths or showers with cooler water.

5. Install a fresh air intake duct. Cold, dry air brought in from outside to the furnace area lowers the indoor

humidity_level.

6. ffthe above measures do not correctthe problem, have

appliances checked. A rmalfunctioning appliance can contribute water vapor to the house,

7. -if the above items do not correct the problem consult a heating contractor about adding a heat recovery ven-

tilator or afr to air heat exchanger.

RECOMMENDED INDOOR HUMIDITY:

Use the following table as a guide. It shows the recommend- ed maximum indoor humidity in relationship to the outdoor

temperature.

YOUR FURNACE

Condensing furnaces have a higher efficiency rating than conventional gas furnaces, but are basically the same in design and operation, The major difference is the addition of a secondary heat exchanger which captures heat that would normally go out the furnace

vent pipe,

By capturing this heat the flue gases are cooled to a point where most of the vapor' (mainly water) con- denses out and must be drained away, Because the

gases are cooled down plastic pipe is used for the vent pipe in place Of metal.

THE OSTAT

See separate description under "Thermostat". As the

temperature in your home drops the thermostat closes

and completes a tow voltage (24V) control circuit to the System Relay inside the control I_ox. This relay

closes and provides power to the Electronic Ignition Module, and Combustion Air Blower. The thermostat also completes a circuit to an internal heater inside

the Fan/Limit Control. This allows more precise Fan

"ON" control to help maintain comfortable temperatures in your home.

TYPICAL UPFLOW

ELECTRONIC SPARK

MODULE/GAS VALVE

When the thermostat calls for heat it completes a Low voltage (24V) circuit to the electronic ignition module.

The module either starts an electric spark or activates a hot surface ignitor to ignite the gas as the gas valve

opens letting gas through to pilot or main burner. When the flame is firmly established the module will

shut off. For safety it will automatically restart if the

flame is interrupted. !f there is an abnormal function, the gas valve is designed to automatically shut off the gas.

COMBUSTION AIR BLOV#ER

The System Relay closes to start the Combustion Air Blower which exhausts the vent gases out through

the vent pipe. The blower creates a pressure differen- tial inside the furnace which provides the right amount

of induced draft (air) to properly control combustion for maximum efficiency. This part of the system pro-

vides several safety features as the electrical circuit

for the Electronic Ignition Module/Gas Valve must go through a Flame Rol! Out Sensor, Air Proving Switch,

Exhaust Temperature Limit Switch and the

temperature limit portion of the Fan/Limit Control.

If the right amount of air is not going through the fur- nace or if temperatures are too hot the electrical cir-

cu=t to the Electronic Ignition Module/Gas Valve will be interrupted.

Your Furnace (Cont.)

CIRCULATING AIR BLOWER

The blower to circulate room air through the furnace starts as soon as the internal.heater in the Fan/Limit

control causes the fan switch portion to close com- pleting the electrical circuit.

It shuts off when the Fan/Limit Control opens the elec- trical circuit. This means the blower comes on approx-

imately 30 seconds after the fu'rnace first starts and it continues to run unti] the furnace cools down. This

helps to achieve the maximum comfort and efficien- cy. from your furnace.

FAN RELAY

This relay provides electric power to the Circulating

Air Blower for continuous blower operation (Ther-

mostat Fan Switch set to "FAN ON") and for the

blower to run if central .air conditioning is installed.

Thermostat

Your furnace will not operate properly without a good

quality, correctly installed thermostat. The thermostat

location is very important as it must be sensing average room temperatures. It must not be exposed

to hot or cold drafts or hot or cold spots on the wall, such as outside walls or a walt with pipes inside or

openings into attic. There are many types and styles of thermostats but

the operation is usually similar. BE SURE TO BECOME

FAMILIAR WITH YOUR THERMOSTAT, The simplest

type of thermostat only starts and stops the furnace to maintain the proper room temperature. The most

widely used types will control both heating and cool- ing functions and will have a Fan Switch with Auto

and ON settings. On Auto, the Circulating Air Blower will cycle on/off with the furnace but if, switched to ON it will run constantly whether or not the furnace

is on.

In addition there are thermostats that automatically switch from Heating to Cooling and with night set- backs. The night set-back, or multiple set-back type, will lower the temperature at night or during the day

when no one is at home.

HEATING:

Posftion the Thermostat System Switch on HEAT, Set the Fan Switch to AUTO for the blower to cycle

ON/OFF. Sefect desired temperature setting and fur- nace will automatically start up and shut off as re-

quired to maintain that setting, Fan Switch may be positioned to ON for continuous air circulation only

if that position maintains the same or a higher blower speed so you have the same or greater- airflow.

CAUTION

Continuous Fan ON at too slow of a blower speed may cause improper furnace operation and possible

damage to the heat exchanger,

FAN/LIMIT CONTROL

The Fan/Limit Contro! provides power to the Cir- culating Air Blower to keep it on, until the furnace

cools down. The limit portion provides safety because it will open the low voltage control circuit, shutting

the furnace down if it gets too hot. The fan off setting can be adjusted if the fan remains

on long enough that cool drafts are felt in the room after the furnace shuts off. Contact a Qualified Ser-

vice Technician.

DRAIN TRAP ASSEMBLY

The drain trap has a float in it, that will cause the fur- nace to shut down if the drain lines become obstructed. If this happens the trap and lines must be

taken apart and cleaned. See "Condensate Disposal'"

page 10.

HEATING ANTICIPATOR:

For more precise comfort control your thermostat may

have an adjustable Heat Anticipator. (Some are not ad-

justable). For most homes the anticipator should be set on the value listed in the Tech Data Sheet which

is found in the Furnace Technical Support Manual. If your furnace cycles ON/OFF with very short-ON in-

tervals or _f the OFF cycle is so long that room

temperatures become uncomfortable the anticipator

setting may need to be adjusted.

To Adjust:

Remove thermostat cover and locate anticipator, Check ,the setting. !f not on.thesetting recommen_

ed for your furnace, moye the lever to the proper set-' ting and try it.for a day or two,

To lengthen burner-on time move' the indicator towards "Longer"_ To decrease burner-on time move in opposite direction,

NOTE :

ira= ii i ii

To accurately determine the effect do not adjust more than half a scale marking at a time and

iI allow a day between adjustments.

I ii iiiiiiii II II III I ' iiiiiiiiiiiiii

COOLING:

For cooling simply position the system switch to COOL Instead of HEAT and thermostat will function

in the same manner to control cooling.

Operating Your Furnace

Keep the blower access door and upper access panel in place except for inspection or maintenance. An automatic switch prevents furnace operation if the

blower door is not in place. Before starting your furnace be sure you read and

understand all of the procedures in this manual. Check

to make sure the furnace filter is clean and correctly installed.

L P Model Furnaces

With Spark to Pilot Ignition (System Retries)

The ignition system will spark to light the pilot for 90

seconds. If the pilot does not light within 90 seconds the system will shut off for 5 minutes and then it will try again for 90 seconds. It will continue to cycle un-

til the pilot lights, (90 seconds ON/5 minutes OFF).

If the unit does not start after 3 tries or approximate-

ly 20 minutes, shut ,the unit off at the thermostat and

call a qualified Service Agency. ..

FURNACE MAINTENANCE

it is recommended .that you have your furnace in- spected and serviced on an annual basis (before the heating season) by a quaUfied service technician.

You may perform maintenance on the furnace

yourself, but remember that certain mechanical and

electrical skills and tools are required to properly per- form maintenance on the furnace. Personal iniury or

death may result if you are not properly trained. You

should call your installing dealer or place of purchase if you are uncertain about your ability to perform

maintenance, ,'

Filter Replacement

The fitter will normaliy be found inside the furnace blower compartment, see pages 5 and 6, but alter-

nate locations may be a remote filter rack attached

to the outside of the furnace, a separate return air cabinet attached to furnace or a remote filter grille.

Remote filter grilles and return air cabinets wil! usual- ly have a hinged door or removable panel to be able

to remove filter. Filter racks attached to the furnace will usually be made so the filter simply slides out one

side for removal. Use only the same size filter. The

type must be the same unless replacing a disposable tow velocity type, with a washable high velocity type.

AIR FILTERS -- Monthly

The air fi!ter(s) should be inspected at least monthly and cleaned or replaced as required. There are two

types of filters most commonly used. The most widely

used is the fiberglass disposable type which should

be replaced before it becomes clogged. The other type commonly in use is the washable type constructed of aluminum mesh, foam, or reinforced fibers. Washable

filters may be cleaned by soaking in mild detergent and rinsing with water.

, NOTE ....

Some filters are marked with an arrow to indicate the proper direction of air flow through the filter.

"When installing the arrow must point in the direc-

tion of the air flow. Remember that dirty fitters

are the most common cause of inadequate heating or coo}ing performance.

. immm

The table on page 10 lists recommended sizes and types of filters that may be used with your furnace, based on the input rating and nominal tons of air con-

ditioning that may be used with the furnace. However, the furnace installer may have used a larger

filter for additional air volume or if the furnace was

installed for Heating Only with a remote filter cabinet or central return he may have installed a smaller filter. If air conditioning has been added since your furnace

was installed, make sure the filter size is adequate.

Replacement filters should be of the same type and

size to ensure adequate air flow and filtering, unless a disposable low velocity filter is replaced with a

washable high velocity type.

CONDENSATE DISPOSAL

MonthlylAnnually

Your furnace has a condensate trap as part of the vent system: The moisture in the flue gases will condense and collect in the trap to go to an inside drain or be

pumped to a sewer line using a condensate pump.

]:he Condensate Trap and Condensate Neutralizer Car-

tridge (_{ used) in the drain line leading from the trap will require some maintenance. Disassemble and clean trap and cartridge prior to each heating season or if

drain line becomes plugged. Inspect the drain fine and overflow line at least mon-

thly. If the Condensate Neutralizer Cartridge becomes

plugged the condensate will flow through the

overflow line. If this happens clean both cartridge and trap.

TO CLEAN: Disconnect the drain line cartridge and unscrew end cap from cartridge. Pour the neutralizer

out and thoroughly flush neutralizer and inside of car- tridge with water. Pour neutralizer back into cartridge, adding neutralizer if cartridge is less than ¾ full.

Unscrew trap from _/ent Connecting Tee and flush throughly with water, use soap if necessary to clean,

DO NOT USE any kind of solvents. Make sure float is reinstalled in trap, Ref. Fig. 7.

Reassemble and sea[ threaded connections with silicone rubber (bathtub caulk)or pipe dope approved

for plastic pipe. See repair parts section in the Furnace Technical Sup-

port Manual, to order replacement neutralizer. Do not use Condensate for any reason as it is acidic.

5. Reinstall felt filter first. If filter is marked for air flow direction make sure it's installed correctlY,

FURNACE CONDITION AND

FLUE GAS PASSAGES/Monthly

A properly adjusted gas furnace.should not require cleaning at frequent intervals, but it should be in- spected regularly to ensure safe and efficient opera-

tion. A brief monthly inspection is recommended that does not require disassembly, in addition you should

have the furnace inspected, and cleaned if required, by a qualified service technician annually.

During the monthly inspection check the vent pipe and fresh air intake (if installed), to be sure they are clear

and free of obstructions. Check vent pipe for evidence of condensate leakage, tight joints, secure attachment

to furnace and sagging pipe.

Horizontal sections of pipe must slope upward 1/4"

per foot except sections between furnace and drain trap when trap is not mounted directly on furnace. Any horizontal section (max. 4" long) must slope down

a minimum of 1/4" per foot to trap. Vertical sections to trap can be a maximum of 5 feet.

Check return air duct to make sure it is sealed to fur-

nace casing and that it is in good physical condition.

It must terminate outside the space containing the

furnace with no holes or inlets in furnace space.

Furnace Maintenance

FIG. 7 TYPICAL INSTALLATION

(Cont.)

The floor or furnace base must be in good physical condition. For Upflovv Furnace with a bottom return

the floor or base area around the furnace must form a seat (no sagging, cracks defects etc.) to prevent air-

from being pulled in from furnace area, or any defect area must be sealed between floor or base and

furnace.

Remove the front panel and use a flashlight to inspect

the visible part of the heat exchanger, burners and ig- nitor. Check for loose soot and give particular atten-

tion to obvious deterioration from corrosion or other sources. Check for any signs of condensate leakage

inside furnace cabinet.

tf soot or deterioration is found or if there is evidence of condensate leakage inside furnace DO NOT

OPERATE FURNACE.

Calt a qualified service technician.

/ AIN BURNER 8L PILOT FLAMESI! onthly

Allow furnace to run approximately 1 0 minutes then inspect the main burner flames and pilot flame (ex- cept furnaces with Hot Surface Ignition).

MAIN BURNER FLAMES should be stable, soft and

blue, (dust may cause orange tips or they may have ,wisps of yellow but they must not have solid yellow

tip_). They should extend directly upward from burner

without curling, floating or lifting off. They must not

touch the sides of the heat exchanger.

Con'tact a qualified service agency at once if an ab-

normal flame appearance should develop.

FIG. 8 MAIN BURNER FLAME

PILOT FLAME should surround 3/8"' to 1/2" of the ignitor/sensor tip.
