This furnace must be installed by a qualified installing agency and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Failure to properly install the furnace, base assembly, and venting system as described in the Installation Instructions may damage the equipment and/or the home, can create a fire or asphyxiation hazard, violates U.S. Listing requirements, and will void the warranty.
Testing the Electrical Polarity (See Figure 3)
1. See line voltage connections on unit wiring diagram in the back of this manual.
CAUTION
!
Be careful to avoid electrical shock hazard.
2. With power on at the fuse box, test the line voltage conductors to the ground with a voltmeter set on the proper scale. a. L1 to ground should read 120 Volt AC ±10%. b. Neutral to ground should read zero volts. NOTE: Test with power on and conductors disconnected from furnace connections.
3. If a reading other than above is read, reverse conductors.

Page 4
NOTE: If 120 volts AC + 10% is not read, check power source.
Door Switch (See Figure 3)
The door switch is a safety that will shut off 120 volt power to the furnace when the furnace door is open. It is a 2 position switch.
1. Open furnace door.
2. Attach the voltmeter to the door switch. 120 volt + 10% should be read.
3. Push in on the door switch the reading should go to zero volts.
Remove Door Switch
1. Shut off power to furnace.
2. Disconnect 2 electric wires.
3. Press in at top and bottom of switch.
4. Remove door switch.
5. To reinstall, reverse steps 1 to 4 above.
Fan and Limit Switch Combination (See Figure 4)
Testing the Limit Switch (See Figure 5)
When testing the limit switch with a voltmeter, a 120V +/­10% reading indicates the switch is open and defective. The limit switch should be replaced if cooled below switch setting.
1. Turn off electrical power to the main power source.
2. Disconnect wires from limit switch located inside of control panel. See wiring diagram, located in control panel.
Figure 5
3. Using an ohmmeter, connect leads to limit switch terminals.
4. If limit switch is below temperature, it will read continuity. If there is not continuity, replace limit switch by removing two 1/4" screws.
Removing the Limit Switch
1. Turn power off to the unit.
2. Unwire electrical supply.
3. Remove 2, 1/4" screws.
4. To replace, reverse steps 1-3.* *Limit switch can be either manual or automatic reset. Manual reset limit will be approved on serial date codes of 9706 and later.
Testing the Fan Switch
The steps necessary to check the operation of the fan switch in the air circulation circuit are:
1. Turn off power to unit.
2. Turn voltmeter on and set to scale capable of reading 120V.
3. Place leads from voltmeter on both wires of the fan switch.
4. Turn on 120 volt power supply to furnace. Voltmeter should read 120V ±10%.
5. With voltmeter leads still attached set room thermostat above the room temperature until the burner comes on.
6. Watch the dial on the fan switch as the heat exchanger heats up, the dial should start to rotate. When the fan switch reaches the on temperature setting the blower should come on, and 0 volts should be read indicating a closed switch.

Testing The Oil Burner (See Figures 6, 7 and 8)
The two manual resets should be checked before testing any other CMF Furnace Component. These are the Primary Control and the Burner Motor Manual reset.
Check the incoming power with a voltmeter. Set the voltme­ter at the proper scale, a 120V ±10% should be obtained. If not, check at power cord:
1. Shut off power to the unit.
2. Remove Electric Panel Cover 1, 5/16" screw.
3. Remove 2 wire nuts.
4. Attach voltmeter to incoming power.
5. Turn on power to the unit.
6. Read voltage 120 +/- 10%.
7. Turn off power and reverse steps 1-3.
Figure 6
Test Oil Pump
The fuel(s) used in the oil gun pressure burner applications are No. 1 Fuel, and No. 2 Fuel . It is recommended to use #1 where temperatures fall below 32°.
The oil storage tank may be installed either above or below grade. Check local or state codes. To prevent abnormal tank pressure during fill, the vent pipe should be 1" to 1 1/4" round. On single line systems, bleed all air out of the fuel supply system before lighting the furnace.
Test fuel pump resistance or vacuum with a vacuum gauge. If vacuum reads greater than 10 inches, look for kinked tubing, a plugged oil filter, undersized line, excessive oil lift, heavy oil or a frozen line.
Maximum Values for Vacuum Hq.
Single Stage - Single Line (M units) 6"
Single Stage - Two Line (M units) 10"
Two Stage (2 M units) 15"
Figure 7
The second fuel pump test is to check the pump efficiency or capacity. With the burner running, the efficiency is satisfactory if the oil pressure can be adjusted to 140 PSI. After checks, adjust the oil pressure for normal operation to 100 PSI.
Figure 8
5
Page 6
Figure 9
The third fuel pump test is for cut-off. Start the burner and after a few moments of operation shut off the burner. Upon shutdown, pressure should drop approximately 15 to 20 PSI. The two common reasons for inefficient cut-off on fuel pumps are a defective check valve ball in the pump, or poor connectors allowing air into the piping system.
Replacing Oil Pump (See Figure 19, page 8)
1. Shut off and disconnect power to the unit.
2. Shut off oil to pump.
3. Remove oil line.
4. Using a 7/16" wrench, loosen oil lines from pump open to drain assembly.
5. Remove oil lines from pump and move out of the way.
6. Remove 1/4" x 20" x 7/8" hex head screws with 3/8" open end.
7. Pull pump out slowly.
8. To replace, reverse steps 1-7.
When installing single-line systems, the only connections on the burner fuel pump is at the intake port. It is important not to install the “by-pass” plug in the fuel pump return port. A quick rule which can be used for checking an installation with the oil storage tank below the fuel pump is to figure:
1. 1" of vacuum for every 10' of horizontal run.
2. 1" of vacuum for every 1' of vertical lift.
3. 1/2" of vacuum for every 90° elbow fitting.
Conversion from Natural Gas to Propane

5. Remove jumper wires and allow two minutes for the safety heater to cool off.
6. Test running circuit by jumpering out T1 and T2 and reset the primary control. The burner will come on.
7. Immediately jumper F1 and F2 to bypass the cad cell. The burner should run continuously after 45 seconds with the cad cell safety circuit by-passed.
8. Shut off power to the unit, remove all jumpers, and then reconnect the thermostat and cad cell.
9. If any one of these test fails, replace the primary control.
Figure 18
dark condition should give a reading of 100,000 ohms or infinity. If the reading is lower, let the refractory cool down or look for stray light that might be entering the burner through the air inlet, or around the transformer base plate. If the cad cell is not performing within these guidelines, replace it.
Removing the Primary Control
1. Shut off power to the unit.
2. Open ignition transformer by removing 2 5/16" screws.
3. Remove the black, white and orange wires leading from the primary control.
4. Remove cad cell wires from F1 and F2, and remove thermostat wires from T1 and T2.
5. Loosen 2, 1/4" screws and remove primary control.
6. To replace, reverse steps 1-5.
Testing Cad Cell
The cad cell is a light sensing resistor. Its function is to cut power to the burner motor in the event the electrodes fail to establish flame.
To check the CAD cell start the burner and unhook both cad cell leads from the FF terminals on the primary control. After the burner lights jump the FF terminals to keep the burner running. Measure the ohms resistance across the cad cell lead as it views the flame. This should be 1,600 ohms or less. A preferred reading is 300-1000 ohms. Next, with the meter still connected to the cad cell leads, turn the burner OFF. The
Removing the Cad Cell (See Figures 17 and 18)
1. Shut off power to the unit.
2. Remove wires from primary control.
3. Open ignition transformer.
4. Turn cad cell 1/2 turn in retainer and lift out.
5. To replace, reverse steps 1-4.
Testing Ignition Transformer (See Figure 20)
!
WARNING
In testing the ignition transformer extreme caution should be exercised because 10,000 to 14,000 volts are present.
The most common field test of the ignition transformation spark is using a service test cord connected to the primary winding wiring and an INSULATED screw driver. The tests should indicate an arc:
1. 1/2" long ARC from the terminal post to the casing.
Figure 19
8
Figure 20
Page 9
Figure 21 Figure 22
2. 1/2" long ARC from the alternate terminal post to the
casing. The first test of the ignition transformer is to check for continuity using an ohmmeter. An infinity reading indicates a defective transformer. A 10,000 volt voltmeter is recommended to test the ignition transformer spark.
3. 1" long ARC from terminal to terminal.
Removing the Ignitor Transformer
1. Shut off power to the unit.
2. Remove white and black wires coming from transformer.
3. Loosen 2, 5/16' screws and turn on tie-down plates.
4. Fold back transformer and remove 2 Phillips head
screws and transformer.
5. To replace, reverse steps 1-4.
Electrode Setting (See Figure 21)
The electrode setting is carefully checked at the factory. When servicing the burner electrodes, three procedures should be performed:
1. Set the spacing.
2. Set the gap.
3. Remove the carbon accumulation.
4. Refer to Installation Instructions.
Removing Drawer Assembly
1. Shut off and disconnect power to unit.
2. Remove copper oil line from drawer assembly and
loosen at pump using a 7/16" open end wrench and move out of way.
3. Mark position of lock plate.
4. Loosen 5/16" screw on lock plate.
5. Remove drawer assembly and set the spacing, gap and
remove any carbon accumulation.
6. To replace, reverse steps 1-5.
The three functions of the atomizing nozzle are atomization, creating the oil spray pattern and metering the fuel . (See Figure 22.)
Several precautions should be observed when installing an oil nozzle. (See Figure 22).
1. Do not clean a dirty nozzle, replace it.
2. Do not bump nozzle with a wrench.
3. Do not touch nozzle with your fingers.
4. Install nozzle with a nozzle wrench.
5. Be sure strainer is in place and tight.
6. Do not over-tighten nozzle during installation.
Low Burner Pressure and Poor Combustion
A flex coupler can contribute to low burner pressure and poor combustion if the following occurs:
1. The coupler is too long and causes a high amperage burner motor reading.
2. The coupler is worn and slipping.
3. The fuel pump shaft is worn and rounded causing the coupler to slip. (See Figure 23)
The proper mixture of fuel and air is delivered to the burner through an air adjustment band located on the burner housing. (See Figure 24)
The primary purpose of the combustion chamber liner is to isolate the combustion process from the rest of the furnace and prevent damage to the components and the cabinet.
Removing Combustion Air Adjustment Band
1. Remove oil pump. (See oil pump replacement.)
2. Remove 2 5/16" screws from air band.
3. Loosen 1 5/6" screw and remove band housing.
4. To replace, reverse steps 1-3.

5. Remove motor and blower wheel.
6. Loosen 1/8" Allen screw and remove wheel. The wheel will be down 3/4" on the shaft.
7. To replace, reverse steps 1-6. (See Figure 9, page 6 and Figure 16, page 7)
Installation Instructions CB-200A Base
The model CB-200A (901696) base allows for a non-sealed combustion, central heating (without warm air ducts) instal­lation of the CMF Series furnaces. This installation must be done by a qualified installing agency in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Location
Allow clearance from adjacent materials as stated under “Minimum Clearances.” Ample clearance should be pro­vided to permit easy access for removal of filters, blower, motors, controls and vent connections. Unit must be installed in a level position on NORDYNE base model CB-200A.
Minimum Clearances To Adjacent Materials
The furnace may be installed in a corner, or against an open wall with the clearances not less than: Front 36 inches; Top 17 inches; Vent 9* inches for oil units, 6 inches for gas units; 3* inches for rear; and 2** inches for one side if in corner.
* Rear clearance may be 0 inches but vent clearance will be reduced to 6 inches. Refer to table 8, appendix B of NFBA No. 31 for requirements to achieve 6 inches vent clearance.
** The minimum clearance from warm air register in base must be 36 inches. Use a 15 5/8" L x 7" W sheet metal blank off panel to replace register when clearance is less than 36 inches.
Venting (CB-200A Base)
Unit must be vented through a permanent chimney or 4" type L, low temperature venting system (oil units) or 4" type BW venting system (gas units) selected and installed by the installer. Check chimney for soot, leaks, obstructions and proper height. If it is necessary to construct a new chimney, local conditions such as necessary height, draft, and num­ber of appliances served should be checked with local building codes.
Barometric regulator (oil units)* is to be installed at the vent connection of the furnace. All flue pipe joints should be fastened with sheet metal screws for rigidity.
To prevent down-draft, the chimney should extend at least 2' above the peak of roof. The internal area of the chimney should equal the area of the flue outlet on the furnace. The chimney should have no obstructions or sharp bends where soot and other foreign matter can accumulate. If inspection shows it to be obstructed, the chimney should be cleaned. The existing flue pipe should be cleaned or a new pipe should be installed. Connect the flue pipe to the chimney with few elbows as possible. Do not install hand dampers of any type.
It is desirable that the furnace flue serves no other appli­ances. However, when two or more appliances must vent into a common flue, the area of the common flue should at least equal the area of the largest flue connector, plus 50% of the area of the additional flue and vent connectors. The flue or vent connector must be inserted into, but not beyond, the inside wall of the chimney flue liner.
Provisions must be made for adequate ventilation to prop­erly support combustion and to maintain safe ambient tem­peratures.
When buildings are so tight that normal infiltration does not meet air requirements, one or more permanent openings must be provided to supply outside air. The minimum cross section of the duct is to be 1 sq. inch area-free for each 2000 Btuh input for horizontal duct installations, or 4000 Btuh input for vertical installations. Refer to gas code book.
Installation
Base: The base must be located on a hard surface. When
the furnace location is carpeted, use a hard surface platform under the base.
Furnace: Set the furnace on the base without damaging the foam gasket material on the base top. Making sure the furnace is seated on the back of the base, fasten the front of the furnace to the base with 1/2" long sheet metal screws.
NOTE: Front register is not adjustable and remains fully open.
Fuel line piping, wiring, and thermostat: Refer to the instal­lation and operation manuals provided with the furnace.
Horizontal distances to an existing chimney should be as short as possible and the connecting pipe should slope upward to the chimney at not less than a 45° angle. Total length of the sloping pipe must not exceed 6 feet.
10
DANGER: When using CB-200 A (Cottage Base), do not install the furnace in a mobile home. Do not install the furnace in a closet, alcove or other enclosed area. Violation of the above may cause incomplete combus­tion which may produce poisonous gases causing as­phyxiation and resulting in sickness or death.

To Turn Off Gas to the Appliance
1. Set the thermostat to OFF or to its lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.
3. Turn the latch and open the furnace door.
4. Push in the gas control lever and move to OFF. DO NOT FORCE.
5. Close the furnace door and turn the latch.
Operating Sequence
On a call for heat, the thermostat contacts close which energizes the combustion blower motor. When motor op­eration reaches 80% of full rpm, the centrifugal switch, located in the motor end cap, closes. A thirty (30) second pre-purge cycle will occur before supplying power (24v) to the gas valve.
20
Figure 5. Direct Ignition Gas Valve
When the ignition control is powered, the ignition sequence is started with an internal safe start check. After the safe start check is complete, the control will initiate a timed ignitor warm-up period. During this time, the ignitor is heated to ignition temperature. When the warm-up period is com­pleted, the control will open the gas valve for a timed trial ignition period. The ignitor will light the gas and detect the presence of flame using the flame rectification principle. If flame is detected the control will keep the gas valve open until the call for heat is completed. If no flame is detected, the control will close the gas valve at the end of the trial for ignition period.
Page 21
The ignition control is equipped with a relight feature. If the flame is extinguished during the run cycle, the control will close the gas valve and repeat the ignition sequence as previously described. Once in lockout, the control can be reset by interrupting the 24 VAC power. This can be easily accomplished by setting the thermostat below room tem­perature for at least forty-five (45) seconds, and then return­ing it to desired setting.
If adjusting the thermostat does not reset the ignition control, turn power to the appliance off for forty-five (45) seconds, and then turn it back on.
NOTE: If the gas control has been replaced or serviced, lighting may not be satisfactory until air has been purged from the gas line or the gas input and combustion air have been adjusted.
Checking Natural Gas Input
Check the label on the burner to be sure the burner is equipped with orifices for type of gas being used. Alternate orifices are in bag attached to the burner. Instructions for changing orifices are covered later herein.
To check the input, time the dial on the meter for one revolution while the burner is operating. Be sure to isolate all other gas consuming appliances except pilots. If the time varies more than 5% from the times shown on the chart, check the gas pressure according to the procedure stated in GAS BURNER CONTROLS. If the pressure reading matches the pressure shown on the chart; check to be sure the proper burner orifice is being used. Further gas prob­lems should be referred to the local gas supplier. Natural gas varies in BTU value from 950 to 1,050 BTU per cubic foot. The chart is based on natural gas at an average of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot, burner manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C. and meter dial size of 1 cubic foot.
Adjusting the Burner
1. Air shutters are factory preset for installation in a given
furnace. (See Figure 15) Local conditions may require fine tuning. Rotate the air shutter disc at the left of the burner housing to adjust the combustion air. Rotate the disc counterclockwise to increase combustion air. Rotate the disc clockwise to decrease combustion air.
The combustion air for the power gas burner is taken from the outside of the manufactured home.
Operating at high altitudes — for operation at elevations of more than 2,000 feet above sea level, the input should be de-rated 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level by reducing orifice size, or decreasing the manifold pressure.
1. Observe combustion flame through observation door on
CMF series furnaces immediately after burner is placed in operation. Yellow flame tips should be visible above combustion chamber.
2. Burner should run quietly. Excessive updraft may cause
burner to rumble; rotate disc to decrease air supply. (CAUTION: See Note below.)
3. After checking the flame pattern and for noise level, lock
disc in position by tightening slotted head screw.
NOTE: It is very important that air supply be ample without decreasing efficiency of burner. An inadequate amount of air can cause carbon monoxide (CO). The carbon dioxide (CO2) content of the flue products should be in the range of
8.0 to 9.0 percent for natural gas and 9.0 to 10.0 percent for LP gas.
Adjusting Heat Distribution
1. Set the room thermostat for the desired room
temperature.
2. Balance the heat distribution by adjusting the register
openings.

Air Supply for Sealed Combustion
1. Close and latch burner access door to complete the outdoor combustion air passage.
2. If the space below the home is enclosed, be sure a vent or duct of at least 18 square inches of free area is provided from the outside to provide sufficient air for combustion. Make sure the combustion air duct extends through the floor and is unobstructed.
Gas Burner Controls (Direct Ignition Series) Combination Electric Gas Valve and Pressure Regulator
The combination electric gas valve and pressure regulator performs several functions. The gas valve control lever has two positions. The OFF position completely shuts off the gas supply. The ON position allows gas flow through the redundant gas valve when it is energized electrically.
Gas to LP Conversion
This gas fired heating appliance was shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. However, the appliance can be converted to be used with LP gas. Use the following procedure for gas conversion of the burner.
Remove the Burner Assembly:
1. Follow instructions “To Turn Off Gas To Appliance.”
2. Shut off gas supply at meter.
3. Disconnect gas burner electric cord, gas piping to burner, and thermostat leads.
4. Remove three (3) hexagon nuts holding burner in place.
Reassemble Appliance:
1. Reassemble the burner assembly into the furnace.
2. Reconnect the gas piping and electrical wires to the gas valve.
3. Open the manual shut-off valve and follow the “Operating Instructions” as outlined previously in this manual to put the furnace into operation.
Centrifugal Switch
The electric motor for the blower which supplies combustion air to the burner is equipped with a centrifugal switch wired in series with the burner controls. This switch is normally open until the speed of the blower motor closes it thereby powering the burner controls. The burner controls will not function until the blower motor is operating at full speed.
Firing Rate Conversion
The rated firing rates of the CMF80 convertible furnaces (PO & PG) can be adjusted from the factory setting of 75,000 BTU/hr.
The firing rate can be changed to either 65,000 BTU/hr. or to 90,000 BTU/hr. using the appropriate certified NORDYNE conversion kit installed by a NORDYNE distributor or Ser­vice PRO. See the Replacement Parts Listing for the appro­priate kit number to order.
Change the Main Burner Orifice:
1. Disconnect inlet pipe union at burner. Disconnect burner power cord.
2. Disconnect the two wires leading to gas control valve.
3. Remove three (3) bolts from U-shaped manifold plate and orifice assembly.
4. Remove the main orifice and replace it with the alternate fuel orifice supplied in the plastic bag with this burner.
Change the Pressure Regulator:
1. Remove the regulator converter and its black cover located on top of the gas valve and invert. (See Figure 16 — For LP, the red ring will be located at the bottom and the “LP” stamping on the converter will appear right side up.)
2. Screw converter back into the regulator, hand tight plus 1/8 turn, and replace the black cover onto the converter top to protect the threads.
