1. Safety Information
The furnace area and the vicinity of any other
gas appliance must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Do not store or
use flammable items such as paint, varnish, or
strippers in the vicinity of the furnace.
Do not use the furnace closet or area next to the
furnace as a storage area. This area must be
kept clear, clean, and free of lint. The furnace
must also be kept clear of loose or exposed
insulation materials. Examine the furnace area
when the furnace is installed or when insulation
is added. Some insulation materials may be
combustible.
For proper and safe operation, the furnace
needs air for combustion and ventilation. Do not
block or obstruct air openings on the furnace, or
any air openings where the furnace may be
installed, including any surrounding spaces.
under water. A flood-damaged furnace is
extremely dangerous. Attemps to use the furnace
can result in fire or explosion. A qualified service
agency should be contacted to inspect the
furnace and to replace all gas controls, control
system parts, electrical parts that have been
wet or the furnace if deemed necessary.
Familiarize yourself with the controls that shut
off the gas and electrical power to the furnace.
If the furnace is to be shut down for an extended
period of time, turn off both the gas and electrical
power. For your safety always turn off both the
gas and electrical power before performing
service or maintenance on the furnace.
2. Combustion Air Supply
A furnace needs an adequate supply of
combustion and ventilation air for proper and
safe operation. Follow the installation
instructions included with the furnace to
properly vent air to the combustion air inlet
and exhaust the products of combustion to
the outside from the exhaust vent.
For 90+ and 93+ Models: If the furnace is
operated with a restricted combustion air supply,
the pressure switch will open, turning off the gas
supply to the burners. (See Figures 2 and 3).
DO NOT install a jumper wire across this switch
to defeat its function. If this switch must be
replaced, use only the replacement part specified
in the Replacement Parts List.
For 80+ Models: If the furnace is operated with
inadequate combustion air supply, the flame rollout control switch located above the burners may
open, turning off the gas supply to the burners.
The flame roll-out control is a manually resettable
device (See Figure 1 and 4). DO NOT install a
jumper wire across this switch to defeat its function.
DO NOT reset the control without identifying and
correcting the fault condition which caused the
control to trip. If this switch must be replaced, use
only the replacement part specified in the
Replacement Parts List.
Air openings in warm air registers, and return air
grilles must not be restricted.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if
overheating occurs, shut off gas valve to the
furnace before shutting off electrical supply.
Do not use this furnace if any part has been
!
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn
from a corrosive atmosphere.
7
Page 8
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion
air must be free of chemicals which form corrosive
acidic compounds in the combustion gases.
Some examples of these chemicals are chlorine,
fluorine, and sulphur. Some common sources of
these chemicals are detergents, bleaches,
aerosol sprays, cleaning solvents, and a wide
variety of commercial and household products.
be connected to any other heat producing device
such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. Doing so
may result in fire, explosion, personal injury,
carbon monoxide poisoning, or property damage.
Use a type high velocity air filter in the return air
duct to maintain a clean heat exchanger.
3. Return Air Supply
In applications where the supply ducts carry
heated air to areas outside the space in which
the furnace is installed, the return air must be
delivered to the furnace by duct(s) sealed to the
furnace casing. These duct(s) must be full size
and without interruption in the spaces outside of
where the furnace is installed.
The return air duct connection(s) must be
physically sound and sealed to the furnace
casing to prevent products of combustion from
entering the living space.
The floor or platform on which the furnace is
mounted must provide sound physical support
of the furnace with no gaps, cracks, or sagging
between the furnace and floor or platform. The
return air and circulating air ductwork must not

W ARNING:
Failure to prevent products of combustion from being circulated into the
living space can create potentially
hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning that could
result in personal injury or death.
4. Vent System
The furnace must always be connected to an
approved vent pipe to carry the furnace
combustion products outdoors. At the beginning
and end of each heating season, inspect the

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance is most important to achieve
the best performance from this furnace and
should be performed by a qualified service
technician. Follow the maintenance schedule
(see Table 1) and the following instructions for
years of safe, trouble free operation.
• Do not place combustible materials on
or against the furnace cabinet.
• Do not store gasoline or any other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of the furnace.
• Annually inspect the furnace, ductwork,
and vent system for signs of physical
deterioration.
• Change or replace the air filters monthly
during any period when the circulating
blower is operating regularly.
• Always replace the doors on the furnace
after servicing or cleaning/changing the
filters. Do not operate the furnace
without all doors and covers in place,
except to check burner operation.
• Avoid operating the furnace when
windows and doors are open.
• Be sure that the thermostat is properly
installed and is not being affected by
drafts or heat from lamps or other
appliances.
air blower motors used in these furnaces are
pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. No
further oiling of the bearings is required for the
life of the motor.
Blower Compartment — The blower
compartment should be cleaned monthly during
the heating and cooling seasons to remove any
dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the
compartment or on the blower and motor. Buildup of dirt and lint on the blower and motor can
create excessive loads on the motor resulting in
higher than normal operating temperatures and
possible shortened service life.
Burner Maintenance — Check the burner
flames at the start of every heating season. Set
the thermostat to a temperature setting above
the room temperature. Remove the top door
from the furnace and visually inspect the burner
through the view hole to make sure that the
flame is drawn into the center of the heat
exchanger tube (See Figure 5). In a properly
adjusted burner assembly, the flame bends
down and to the right at the end of the heat
exchanger tube, and the end of the flame will be
out of sight around the bend. The flame color
should be blue, however some light yellow streaks
may occur on the outer portions of the flame.
Air Filter(s) — Air filter(s) are not supplied with
the furnace as shipped from the factory. The
installer must provide a high velocity filter and
rack in the return air duct adjacent to the furnace,
or in a return air grille to the furnace. The filter(s)
must be removed and cleaned monthly during the
heating season to ensure proper furnace
operation. New or newly renovated homes may
require more frequent changing until the
construction dust has been removed.
!
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a
filter in place. Dust and lint in the
return air can build up on the internal
components, resulting in a loss of
efficiency, equipment damage, and
possible fire.
Always replace the door(s) on the furnace after
servicing or cleaning/changing the filters. Do not
operate the furnace without the door(s) in place.
Lubrication — The bearings in the circulating

Burner Maintenance (NOx), If the second or
eighth character of the model number is an “N”
the furnace has factory installed NOx reduction
inserts. The inserts reduce the NOx emissions
of the furnace. The NOx reduction inserts are
located in the first pass of the top portion of the
heat exchanger. When the burners are
operating, the flame should extend through the
center of the NOx reduction inserts. The flame
color should be blue, however some light yellow
streaks may occur on the outer portions of the
flame.

These furnaces are equipped with roll-out limit
switch(s), a vent safety switch, and a pressure
switch (See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4). The pressure
switch verifies that the flame is receiving
combustion air. If the flame is not drawn into the
heat exchanger tube, the roll out limit switch or
flame sensor, will shut the furnace down.
Inspect the burners, mounting brackets, and all
other parts in the vestibule for signs of
deterioration. The burner vestibule should be
vacuumed clean and inspected annually.
!
CAUTION:
