WARNING

Electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF electrical power supply at service panel before opening blower access door. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

If furnace is to be shut down for extended period of time, close oil supply valve to burner.

22. Maintenance And Service

Routine Maintenance By Home Owner

• Arrange for professional servicing of furnace by the service or installation contractor annually.

• Homeowner is to maintain air lter or lters. A dirty lter can cause furnace to over-heat, fail to maintain

indoor temperature during cold weather, increase fuel consumption and cause component failure.

• Inspect, clean or replace lter monthly.

• Furnace is supplied with semi-permanent type lter. If lter is damaged, replace with lters of same size

and type.

• During monthly lter inspection, inspect general

condition of furnace. Watch for signs of oil leaks in vicinity of oil burner, soot forming on any external part of furnace, soot forming around joints in vent pipe, etc. If any of these conditions are present, please advise your service or installation contractor.

Annual Service By Contractor

NOTICE

Combustion chamber (repot) is fragile. Use care

when inspecting and cleaning this area

• Inspect heat exchanger periodically and clean if necessary.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF electrical power supply at service panel before service or maintenance Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

• If cleaning is necessary, shut off oil supply, shut off power to the furnace and remove burner.

• Use stiff brush with wire handle, brush off scale and soot from inside drum and ue pipe.

• Clean radiator, remove clean-out cap screws.

Remove caps carefully to avoid tearing gaskets.

• Wire brush can be used to loosen dirt and debris on the inside surfaces of radiator. Clean out all accumulated dirt, soot and debris with a wire handled brush and an industrial vacuum cleaner.

• Before replacing clean-out caps, inspect gaskets. If gaskets are broken, remove remnants and replace with new gaskets.

• Blower motor is factory oiled and permanently sealed. Do not lubricate. Excess oil causes premature electric motor failure.

• Inspect blower fan. Clean if necessary.

• Oil Burner Maintenance: Follow oil burner

manufacturer instructions.

• Change oil burner nozzle and oil lter annually.

• Clean and inspect venting system for signs of

deterioration. Replace pitted or perforated vent pipe

and ttings.

• Barometric damper should open and close freely.

• Check electrical connections to ensure tight

connections. Safety controls such as the high limit controls should be tested for functionality.

• Check fan control to ensure fan on and off delay function continues to start and stop blower fan at optimal settings.

WARNING

Fire, burn, explosion, asphyxiation hazard.

• Do not start burner when excess oil has accumulated, furnace is full of vapor, or combustion chamber is very hot.

• Do not burn garbage or paper in furnace.

• Do not leave paper or rags around furnace.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
