Minimum Clearances to Combustibles
Table 1
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness, or asphyxiation. When considering
combustion air requirements, enough air must also be
provided to meet the needs of all fuel-burning
appliances and exhaust fans.
W ARNING
Air openings in the front of the furnace must be kept
free of obstructions. Any obstruction may cause
improper operation that can result in a fire hazard or
carbon monoxide injury .
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is defined as “a space whose volume
is more than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space.” When a furnace is installed in an unconfined space
in a building, it can be assumed that the infiltration will be
sufficient to supply the required air . If the furnace is installed
in a ventilated attic or crawl space, it is assumed that the
infiltration is sufficient to supply the required air . However ,
in a building of unusually tight construction, additional outdoor
air should be provided.
506305-01Page 4 of 36Issue 0938
Page 5
Confined Space
A confined sp ace is defined as “a space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of the combined
input rating of all appliances installed in that space.”
If the furnace is installed in a confined space within the
building and combustion air is taken from a heated space,
the combustion air and ventilating air must enter and leave
the space through two permanent openings of equal area.
One opening shall be located within 12" of the ceiling and
the other within 12" of the floor, each having a free area of
1 square inch per 1000 BTU/HR of total input rating of all
appliances within the space and not less than 100 square
inches each.
If the furnace is installed in a space within a building of tight
construction, makeup air must be supplied from outdoors. In
this case, one opening shall be within 12" of the ceiling and
one opening within 12" of the floor. If combustion ducts are
vertical, each opening shall have a free area of 1 square inch
per 4000 BTU/HR of the total input rating of all appliances
within the enclosure. If horizontal combustion ducts are run, 1
square inch per 2000 BTU/HR is required.
Contaminated Combustion Air
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. The
recommended source of combustion air is outdoor air.
However, the use of indoor air in most applications is
acceptable if the following guidelines are followed:
1. If the furnace is installed in a confined space, it is
recommended that the necessary combustion air come
from the outdoors by way of an attic, crawl space, air duct,
or direct opening.
2. If indoor combustion air is used, there must be no exposure
to the substances listed in item 5.
3. All provisions for indoor combustion air must meet the
requirements for combustion air indicated in the
National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition),
and/or any applicable local codes. In Canada, see CSA
B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes
(latest edition).
4. The following types of installation may require outdoorair for combustion, due to chemical exposures:
•Commercial buildings
•Buildings with indoor pools
•Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
•Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
•Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
5. Exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply may also require outdoor air for combustion:
•Permanent wave solutions
•Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
•Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
•Water softening chemicals
•Deicing salts or chemicals
•Carbon tetrachloride
•Halogen-type refrigerants
•Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
•Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
•Cements and glues
•Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
•Masonry acid washing materials
•Chlorinated laundry products
•Hydrochloric acid
Venting
The high efficiency of this furnace is accomplished by the
removal of both sensible and latent heat from the flue gases.
The removal of latent heat results in the condensation of
moisture in the flue gases. This condensation occurs in the
secondary heat exchanger and in the vent system. Therefore,
this furnace requires special venting considerations and the
instructions must be followed to insure proper operation. All
venting must be in accordance with the codes having
jurisdiction in the area and these instructions.
G1D91BU, G1D91BT , G1D93BU, G1D93BT and G1D93BC
models can be installed as either direct vent or non-direct
vent units. A direct vent (two pipe) installation requires that
all the air necessary for combustion be supplied from outside
the dwelling through an air intake pipe. A non-direct vent
(one pipe) installation uses air from inside the dwelling for
combustion.
The furnace is shipped with the air inlet pipe terminated to the
top panel for either inside or outside combustion air . An inlet
air restrictor plate (see Figure 2) is supplied with this furnace
and can be found in the plastic bag containing these Installation
Instructions and the User’s Information Manual. The inlet
restrictor plate must be used in all installations using inside
air for combustion (non-direct vent).
Inlet Air Restrictor Plate
The inlet air restrictor plate must be
installed in all installations using inside
air for combustion (non-direct vent).
Flue Pipe Screen
The flue pipe screen should be
installed at the termination of the flue
pipe in all installations.
506305-01Page 5 of 36Issue 0938
Figure 2
Page 6
The inlet restrictor plate must be installed in the air inlet in
one of three ways:
•Restrictor plate in inlet collar: Install the restrictor plate
in the inlet pipe collar in the top panel of the furnace.
Insert a 3" to 36" section of PVC pipe (field supplied)
into the collar. Use high temperature RTV sealant to
attach PVC pipe to collar. A 90° elbow (field supplied)
may be attached to the PVC pipe, but the elbow is not
required. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach
elbow to PVC pipe (if applicable).
•Restrictor plate in inlet pipe: Insert a 3" to 36" section of
PVC pipe (field supplied) into the collar. Use high
temperature RTV sealant to attach PVC pipe to collar.
Install the restrictor plate in the end of the inlet pipe just
installed. Attach either a field-supplied coupler or 90°
elbow to the end of the PVC pipe to keep the restrictor
plate in place. Use high temperature RTV sealant to
attach the coupler or elbow to PVC pipe.
•Restrictor plate in elbow: Insert a 3" to 36" section of
PVC pipe (field supplied) into the collar. Use high
temperature RTV sealant to attach PVC pipe to collar.
Attach a 90° elbow (field supplied) to the PVC pipe. Use
high temperature RTV sealant to attach elbow to PVC pipe.
Install the restrictor plate into the elbow .
When a furnace is installed as direct vent, provisions for
ventilation air should follow the same requirements as if
installed as non-direct vent. Proper ventilation air is
necessary to maintain furnace component temperatures
within acceptable limits.
All vents passing through floors, ceilings, and walls must be
installed in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFP A 54 (latest edition).
The length of flue pipe exposed to outdoor conditions should
be kept to a minimum. When the installation requires more
than 3 feet of flue pipe be exposed to outdoor conditions,
insulating the exposed flue pipe with 1/2” Armaflex or
equivalent is recommended. In climates with design
temperatures below zero degrees (F), 3/4” Armaflex or
equivalent is recommended.
Materials
All pipe, fittings, primer, and solvent cement must conform
with American National S tandard Institute and the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards.
The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no lumps,
undissolved particles, or any foreign matter that adversely
affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the
Two dif ferent sized inlet restrictor plates are supplied with the
furnace (2" and 3"). Use the proper restrictor plate for the
furnace model.
W ARNING
If at any time in the future the installation of this furnace
is changed to require outside fresh air for combustion,
the inlet air restrictor plate must be removed. Failure to
remove the inlet air restrictor could cause improper
operation that can result in a fire hazard or carbon
monoxide injury .
Also included in the plastic bag containing the inlet air
restriction plate is a flue pipe screen (see Figure 2). In all
installations, this screen sould be installed at the termination
of the flue pipe and is designed to keep objects out of the
flue pipe.
For either type of installation (direct or non-direct vent),
special venting considerations must be followed. Refer to
the proper section in pages 11 – 17 for the type of furnace
and venting being installed.
The venting system must be supported with mounting straps
to prevent any weight load from being applied to the vent
blower. Horizontal vent pipe must be supported every 5'
and vertical pipe should be supported every 10' to prevent
sagging and provide rigid support.

Refer to Table 2 for approved piping and fitting materials.
Canadian Applications Only: PVC pipe, fittings, primer
and solvent cement used to vent this applicance must be
certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manufacturer
as part of an approved venting system. In addition, the first
three feet of vent pipe from the furnace flue collar must be
accessible for inspection. Models that may be installed as a
horizontal furnace include a horizontal drain kit. In Canada
this drain kit must be replaced by a locally available IPEX
Drain Kit # 196014. For Local IPEX Canadian Customer
Service Center and Kit abailability call IPEX at 1-866-473-
9462.
The primers and solvents used must also meet ASTM
specifications. PVC primer is specified in ASTM F656. Use
PVC solvent as specified in ASTM D2564 and ABS solvent
cement as specified ASTM D2235. Low temperature solvent
cement is recommended. Metal or plastic strapping may
be used for vent pipe hangers.
When making ABS joint s, pieces can be prepared with a clean
dry cloth to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end
of pipe to depth of socket. Refer to procedure specified in
ASTM D3138. When joining ABS to PVC materials, use
transition solvent.
Preferred fittings are DWV style or long sweep. Seal all joints
gas tight with appropriate cement. In areas where vent and
air intake pipes are exposed to abnormal stress or are subject
to damage, schedule 80 pipe should be used.
Category IV Furnace Limitations
This furnace shall not be connected to any Type B, BW, or L
vent or vent connector and shall not be connected to any portion
of a factory-built or masonry chimney . This furnace is not to
be common vented with any other appliance. The vent
pipe must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
Concentric Vent Kit
A concentric vent kit (see Accessories section on p age 31 for
correct kit) is available for use when installing this furnace as
a direct vent furnace and the air intake and vent pipe are to be
run through the same hole, whether horizontally through the
wall or vertically through the roof (see Figure 3). Refer to the
instructions included with the concentric vent kit for installation
specifics.
Vent Pipe Size and Length
The vent pipe and air intake pipe (in direct vent installations)
should be sized in accordance with the information found in
the appropriate table in Figure 4. One 90° elbow is equivalent
to 5' of pipe. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90°
elbow. The minimum length certified for use with this furnace
is 5' and one elbow, not including the vent and air intake
terminals.
In the event that the pipe length is in between the lengths
listed in the table, use the next larger length listed. For
example, if a length of pipe needed to install the furnace is
27', use the diameter values for the 30' row in the tables.
For direct vent installations, if the vent and air intake pipe
are not equal in length and number of elbows, then determine
the minimum pipe diameter for both the vent and air intake.
If the results indicate different diameters, use the larger of
the two for both the vent and air intake. Under no
circumstances should the vent and air intake pipe size
be different in diameter. For installation details, refer to
the appropriate section in pages 11 – 17 for the unit model
and type of installation.
High Altitude Installation: 2” pipe not recommended at
altitude above 4,000 feet. 3” pipe required for altitude above
5,000 feet.
Horizontal Venting
The vent for this appliance shall not terminate over public
walkways; or near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other
areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or
hazard or cause property damage; or where condensate vapor
could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation
of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

this furnace and can be found in the plastic bag containing these
Installation Instructions and the User’s Information Manual. This
restrictor plate is to be used only in non-direct vent
applications. See pages 5 and 6 for more information on installing
the restrictor plate in non-direct vent applications.
The flue pipe screen (see Figure 2 on page 5) should be
installed at the termination of the flue pipe and is designed to
keep objects out of the flue pipe. An additional screen should
not be placed in the intake termination. If a screen is installed,
the air intake may freeze shut.
For horizontal venting, refer to Figure 7. For vertical venting,
refer to Figure 8. It is permissible to run the vent vertically
through the roof and terminate it as shown in Figure 8, and
to run the combustion air intake pipe horizontally through a
side wall and terminate as shown in Figure 7. The vent pipe
on horizontal runs must slope upward, away from the furnace,
at a minimum pitch of 1/4" per foot of run, to prevent
accumulation of condensate.
Do not cement air intake into the connector on burner
box. Use high temperature RTV silicone sealant so
intake pipe can be removed if service is required.
In horizontal venting applications, the vent and air int ake
pipe must be installed on the same side of the house
within the parameters shown in Figure 7.
Prime the trap system by slowly pouring 1 cup of water down
the vent pipe. On initial start-up of the unit, some of the
water used to prime the trap system may run down into the
combustion blower and cause noise.

Condensate Disposal Installation
The condensate drain should be routed directly to a locally
acceptable disposal area. The condensate drain line should
not be run directly to the outdoors especially in colder
climates where temperatures may cause the condensate to
freeze in the drain line.
In horizontal installations where clearance beneath the unit
is limited, an alternate method for condensate disposal trap
installation may be used (see Horizontal Installation – Tight
Clearance Below Unit on page 20).
Upflow or Counterflow Installation
Install the condensate drain line to the unit as follows. The
condensate can be drained from either the right or left side
of the furnace. Install the 1/2" NPT x 3/4" PVC adapter
(supplied) in the drain on the side that the draining will occur.
Install the plastic pipe plug opposite of the drain. Using 3/4"
PVC pipe, make a connection from the adapter just installed
to extend just outside the unit. Install a 3/4" PVC tee as
shown in Figure 21. From the tee, install the drain to the
disposal area. The top of the tee must be left open for proper
condensate drainage.

Circulating Air Supply
When the furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry
air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space
containing the furnace, the return air shall be handled by a
duct or ducts sealed to the furnace casing and terminated
outside the space containing the furnace.
Combustible Floor Installation
(G1D93BC Counterflow Models Only)
Base
Assembly
Furnace
A return air duct system is recommended. If the unit is
installed in a confined space or closet, a return connection
must be run, full size, to a location outside the closet. The
air duct in the closet must be tight to prevent any entrance
of air from the closet into the circulating air.
If there is no complete return air duct system, the return air
connection must be sealed to the furnace casing and run,
full size, to a location outside the utility room or space housing
the furnace to prevent a negative pressure on the venting
system.
CAUTION
When an air conditioning unit is used in conjunction with
the furnace, the evaporator coil must be installed in the
discharge (supply) air. Do not install an evaporator coil
in the return air; excessive condensation will occur within
the furnace.
Outlet Duct
For installations not equipped with a cooling coil, a removable
access panel must be provided in the outlet duct. The
opening should be accessible when the furnace is placed in
service. Smoke or reflected light may be observed inside
the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat
exchanger. The cover for the opening shall be attached in
such a manner as to prevent leaks. The recommended
opening size is 6" x 14" for all sizes.
Duct Connection – G1D93BC Counterflow Models
If a unit is installed on a noncombustible floor , it may be installed
directly over the supply duct or plenum. For installations on
combustible flooring, a special base must be ordered and used.
(See the Accessories section on page 31 for more
information.) To install using the special base assembly, see
Figure 34 and the following instructions:
1. Cut a hole in the floor, sized to provide 1" clearance
between all four sides of the duct and the edge of the
flooring. The four angles on the base assembly should
recess into the floor joists and the base should rest on
all four outside flanges.

3. Drop the duct connections through the top of the base
assembly with the right angle flanges in good contact
with the glass tape on top of the base assembly.
4. Carefully position the furnace over the right angle duct
flanges.
Gas Supply and Piping
Refer to the furnace rating plate to make sure the furnace is
equipped to burn the gas supplied (natural or propane).
W ARNING
Any conversion of a natural gas unit to propane gas must
be done by qualified personnel using a conversion kit
available from the manufacturer, following the instructions
in the conversion kit. If done improperly , overfiring of the
burners and improper burner operation can result. This
can create carbon monoxide which could cause
asphyxiation.
2. Construct duct connections with right angle flanges.
506305-01Page 22 of 36Issue 0938
Page 23
Gas supply piping should be installed in accordance with local
codes and the regulations of the utility. Piping must be of
adequate size to prevent undue pressure drop. Consult the
local utility or gas supplier for complete details on special
requirements for sizing gas piping.
Gas Piping Connection
Manual Gas Valve
1/8" NPT Plugged Tapping
Union
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance
connector, always use a new listed connector . Do not use a
connector which has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Pipe connections must be tight, and a non-hardening pipe
compound resistant to liquefied petroleum gases should be
used.
Connect the gas pipe to the furnace controls providing a
ground joint union as close to the controls as is possible to
facilitate removal of controls and manifold. Provide a drip
leg on the outside of the furnace. A manual shutoff valve
shall be installed in the gas line, outside the unit, 5' above
the floor, or in accordance with any local codes. A test
gauge connection must be installed with a 1/8" NPT plugged
tapping immediately upstream of the shutoff valve (see
Figure 35).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or 14" W .C.
If the piping system is to be tested at pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the furnace and its appliance main gas
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system.

The gas valve supplied with this furnace is rated at 1/2
psig maximum. Any higher pressure may rupture the
pressure regulator diaphragm and may cause overfiring
of the burners and improper burner operation. The
overfiring may result in the creation of carbon monoxide
which could cause asphyxiation.
After gas piping is complete, carefully check all piping
connections (factory and field) for gas leaks. Use a leak
detecting solution or other preferred means. Some soaps
used for leak detection are corrosive to certain metals.
Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak detection has
been completed.

WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in serious injury , death, or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made specifically
for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A
fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury , or loss of life.

position for at least 5 minutes before starting the unit.
Do not attempt to manually light the burners.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury , or loss of life.
These furnaces are equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the
burners by hand.
Before operating, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
What to do if you smell gas:
•Do not try to light any appliances.
•Extinguish any open flame.
•Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor ’s

OPERATION
Sequence of Operation
Heating
During a call for heat the thermostat closes the R-W circuit of
the control board. The control board verifies limit switches are
closed and pressure switch is open. The induced draft blower
relay closes causing the blower to run. As vent pressure is
developed by the induced draft blower, the pressure switch
closes. Af ter a 15-second pre-purge, the control energizes the
hot surface ignitor. After the 7-second warmup time, the control
energizes the gas valve causing the burners to ignite. The hot
surface ignitor is de-energized 3 seconds after the valve opens.
If flame is sensed during this time the valve remains energized
and the control starts the 30-second heat blower “on” delay.
As heating demand is met, the thermostat de-energizes the
R-W circuit. The control de-energizes the gas valve causing
the burners to shut off. The induced draft blower shuts off
after a 15-second post-purge delay . The circulating air blower
will continue to operate until the user-selectable heat blower
“off” delay expires. The control return to standby mode once
the heat blower “off” delay expires.
As cooling demand is met, the thermostat de-energizes the
R-Y circuit of the control board. After a 60-second cooling
“off” delay, the control de-energizes the cooling speed fan.
At the end of the cooling “off ” delay period, the control returns
to the standby mode.
Controls
Following is a description of the operation of some of the
controls used in this furnace. All models use one of each
control, except as noted.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is a normally open switch that monitors
combustion air flow. Inadequate air flow resulting from
excessive venting system restriction or a failed combustion
blower will cause the switch to remain open.
Rollout Switch
The rollout switch is a normally closed switch that opens when
abnormal temperatures exist in the burner area. This can be
caused by a restricted heat exchanger causing burner flame
to “roll out” into the vestibule area or burner box.
Fan “On”
During a fan “on” call, the thermostat energizes the R-G
circuit of the control board, immediately causing the fan to
energize the heat speed. The fan remains energized as long
as the thermostat calls for fan “on” operation.
If a call for heat is energized during a fan “on” call, the fan
continues to operate at the heat speed. If a call for cooling is
energized during a fan “on” call, the fan switches to cooling
speed.
At the end of the fan “on” call the thermostat de-energizes
the R-G circuit of the control, causing the fan to be deenergized immediately .
Cooling
During a call for cooling, the thermostat energizes the R-Y
circuit of the control board. After a 1-second cooling “on” delay ,
the control energizes the cooling fan speed. If the fan is already
energized, it remains running and does not de-energize for
the 1-second cooling fan “on” delay .
The call for cooling has priority over continuous fan operation
while a call for heating has priority over both a call for cooling
or continuous fan. Ignition lockouts for any reason do not
affect cooling operation.
This switch must be manually reset by pushing the button
on top to restore furnace operation.
Primary Limit Control
This is a normally closed control that opens if abnormally
high circulating air temperatures occur. It is an automatic
reset control.
Auxiliary Limit Control
This is a normally closed control that opens under abnormal
“reverse air flow” conditions that could occur in a counterflow
or horizontal installation if the circulating blower fails. It is an
automatic reset control.
G1D91BT and G1D93BT models have two auxiliary limit
controls.
G1D91BU and G1D93BU upflow models do not include an
auxiliary limit control.
Interlock (Blower Door) Switch
When the blower door is removed, the interlock switch
breaks the power supply to the burner controls and blower
motor. The switch operation must be checked to confirm it
506305-01Page 27 of 36Issue 0938
Page 28
is operating correctly .
Integrated Ignition/Blower Control Board
The integrated ignition/blower control board operates all
functions of the furnace and any accessories connected to it.
These models feature user-selectable blower “off” delay times
(60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds) that are factory set to provide
a 120-second blower “off” delay on heating (see connection
diagram on page 33).
Refer to the furnace wiring diagram while using the following
procedure to change motor speed:
1. Turn of f electrical power to the unit.
2. Connect the desired speed tap for cooling on the
control board.
3. For heating speed, check the temperature rise and, if
necessary, adjust blower speed tap to maintain
temperature rise within the range shown on the furnace
rating plate.
T o use the same speed tap for both heating and cooling,
install a piggyback terminal on the speed tap using a
short jumper. Wire 1/4" quick connect terminals on both
ends to jumper the “HEAT” and “COOL” speed on the
control board.
4. The remaining speed taps must be connected to dummy
terminals marked “P ARK” on the control board.
Checking and Adjusting Gas Input
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure for the purpose
of input adjustment is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 1 1" W .C. for
propane gas. This furnace requires conversion for use with
propane (see Accessories section on page 29 for correct
kit). The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10.5" W .C. for
natural gas and 13" W.C. for propane.
Gas input must never exceed the value shown on the furnace
rating plate. The furnace is equipped for rated input at
manifold pressures of 3.5" W.C. for natural gas or 10.0" W .C.
for propane gas.
To measure inlet or outlet pressure, remove plug from
desired pressure tap (inlet or outlet) as shown in Figure 38
and connect a water manometer or gauge to the proper
pressure tap.
To adjust the regulator, disconnect the hose and remove
the barbed fitting from the gas valve. Turn the adjusting screw
on the regulator clockwise to increase pressure and input;
counterclockwise to decrease pressure and input.
Replace the barbed fitting and reconnect the hose after adjusting
the regulator. Be sure to replace the inlet and outlet pressure
tap plugs after testing and/or adjusting gas input.
CAUTION
The furnace rate must be within +/- 2% of the appliance
rating input.
For Natural Gas: Check the furnace rate by observing the
gas meter, when available, making sure all other gas
appliances are turned off. The test hand on the meter should
be timed for at least one revolution. Note the number of
seconds for one revolution.

MAINTENANCE
W ARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in dangerous operation, serious injury , death, or property
damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury , death, or property damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to
furnace.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly .
Burners
Light the burners and allow to operate for a few minutes to
establish normal burning conditions. Observe the burner
flames. Compare this observation to Figure 39 to determine if
proper flame adjustment is present. Flame should be
predominantly blue in color and strong in appearance. Check
that all burners are lit, and that the flame does not impinge on
the sides of the heat exchanger.
Distorted flame or yellow tipping of the natural gas burner
flame, or long yellow tips on propane, may be caused by lint
accumulation or dirt inside the burner or burner ports, at the
air inlet between the burner and manifold pipe, or
obstructions over the burner orifice.
Use a soft brush or vacuum to clean the affected areas.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
It is recommended that this furnace be inspected by a
qualified service technician at the beginning of each heating
season.
Filters
Filters should be checked at least every 6 weeks. Disposable
filters should be replaced when dirty, and cleanable filters
should be cleaned regularly. It is important to keep the air
filters clean, as dirty filters can restrict airflow and the blower
and induced draft motors depend upon sufficient air flowing
across and through them to keep from overheating.
Lubrication
The blower motor and induced draft motor are pre-lubricated
by the manufacturer and do not require further lubricating
attention. However, the motors should be cleaned periodically
to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation
of dust and dirt on the windings or on the motor exterior.

Condensate Collection and Disposal System
Check the condensate drain line periodically for blockage.
Visual inspection of condensate flow can be done easily while
the furnace is in operation. Use a flashlight to illuminate the
discharge end of the condensate drain that is placed in the
sewer opening. If the condensate drain line becomes
blocked or plugged, the furnace will not operate properly .

SYSTEM SENTRY™ CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
Troubleshooting
The following visual checks should be made before
troubleshooting:
1. Check to see that the power to the furnace and the
integrated ignition/blower control board is on.
2. The manual shutoff valves in the gas line to the furnace
must be open.
3. Make sure all wiring connections are secure.
4. Review the Sequence of Operation (see page 27).
Start the system by setting the thermostat above the room
temperature. Observe the system’s response. Then use
the information provided in this section to check the system’s
operation.
The furnace has a built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a
system problem occurs, a fault code is shown by an LED on
the control board. The control continuously monitors its own
operation and the operation of the system. If a failure occurs,
the LED will indicate the failure code. The flash codes are
presented in Table 5.
Failure Codes
Fault Code History Button
The control stores the last five fault codes in memory. A
pushbutton switch is located on the control (see Figure 40
on page 33). When the pushbutton switch is pressed and
released, the control flashes the stored fault codes. The
most recent fault code is flashed first; the oldest fault code
is flashed last.
To clear the fault code history, press and hold the pushbutton
switch in for more than 5 seconds before releasing.
