IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT
EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR
AIR QUALITY
Central cooling and heating
equipment is only as efficient as the
duct system that carries the cooled or
heated air. To maintain efficiency,
comfort and good indoor air quality, it
is important to have the proper
balance between the air being
supplied to each room and the air
returning to the cooling and heating
equipment.
Proper balance and sealing of the
duct system improves the efficiency
of the heating and air conditioning
system and improves the indoor air
quality of the home by reducing the
amount of airborne pollutants that
enter homes from spaces where the
ductwork and/or equipment is
located. The manufacturer and the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Energy Star Program
recommend that central duct systems
be checked by a qualified contractor
for proper balance and sealing.

auxiliary condensate drain pan
under the entire unit. This
auxiliary drain pan should extend
under any evaporator coil
installed with the furnace and the
open portion of the condensate
drain assembly. See
“CondensateDrain/Neutralizer”
section for more details.
2. IMPORTANT: If using a cooling
evaporator coil with this furnace:
a. be sure the air passes over
the heat exchanger before
passing over the cooling
coil. The cooled air passing
over the warm ambient air
inside the heat exchanger
tubes can cause
condensationinside the tubes
resulting in corrosion and
eventual failure.
b. install a parallel duct system
to divert all the air from the
furnace allowing it to pass
over the cooling coil only. Use
dampers or other means to
prevent chilled air from
passing over the heat
exchanger.
If these are manual dampers, they
must be equipped to prevent heating
or cooling operation unless the
damper is in the full heat or cool
position.

This furnace removes both sensible
and latent heat from the combustion
flue gases. Removal of latent heat
results in condensation of flue gas
water vapor. This condensed water
vapor drains from the secondary heat
exchanger and out of the unit into a
drain trap.
When installed as a non-direct vent
furnace, only exhaust piping is
required and inside combustion air
may be used. Refer to section on
“
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR
FOR FURNACE INSTALLATIONS.”
Direct vent installationsrequire a
dedicated combustion air and venting
system. All air for combustion is taken
from the outside atmosphere and all
combustion products are discharged
to the outdoors.

EXISTING VENT SYSTEMS*
*In Canada see ULC-S636 requirements.
When the installation of this furnace
replaces an existing furnace that is
removed from a vent system serving
other appliances, the vent system is
likely to be too large to properly vent
the remaining attached appliances.
The following steps should be
followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the original
common vent system. Place the
appliance to be tested in operation,
while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common vent
system are not in operation. Test the
operation of each appliance
individuallyby the following method.
1. Permanently seal any unused
openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting
system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine
that there is no blockage,
restriction,leakage, corrosion or
other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building
doors, windows and all doors
between the space where the
appliances remaining connected
to the common venting system
are located.
Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliance not connected to the
common venting system. Turn on
any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts,
so they will operate at maximum
speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace
dampers.
4. Follow the lighting instructions.
Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust
the thermostat so the appliance
will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood
relief opening after 5 minutes of
main burner operation. Use the
flame of a match or candle, or
smoke from a cigarette, cigar
or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that
each appliance that remains
connected to the common
venting system properly vents
(when tested as outlined above),
return doors, windows, exhaust
fans, fireplace dampers and any
other gas-burning appliance to
their previous conditions of use.
7. If improper venting is observed
during any of the above tests, the
common venting system must be
resized. See vent tables in these
instructions

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
NON-DIRECT
FURNACE INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
!
THE FURNACE AND ANY OTHER
FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROVIDED WITH
ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR
PROPER COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION OF THE FLUE
GASES. MOST HOMES WILL
REQUIRE THAT OUTSIDE AIR BE
SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE
AREA. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH FROM CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING.
Adequate facilities for providing air for
combustion and ventilation must be
provided in accordance with section
5.3, “Air for Combustion and
Ventilation”of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) or
applicable provisions for the local
building codes, and not obstructed so
as to prevent the flow of air to the
furnace.
IMPORTANT: Air for combustion and
ventilationmust not come from a
corrosive atmosphere. Any failure
due to corrosive elements in the
atmosphere is excluded from
warranty coverage.
The following types of installation
(but not limited to the following) will
require OUTDOOR AIR for
combustion,due to chemical
exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical
storage areas.
Exposure to the following substances
in the combustion air supply (but not
limited to the following) will also
require OUTDOOR AIR for
combustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinatedwaxes and cleaners
• Chlorine-basedswimming pool
chemicals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as
perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers,
varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloricacid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for
clothes dryers
• Masonry curing and acid washing
materials
Combustion air must be free of acidforming chemicals such as sulphur,
fluorine and chlorine. These elements
are found in aerosol sprays,
detergents,bleaches, cleaning
solvents, air fresheners,paint and
varnish removers, refrigerants and
many other commercial and
household products. When burned in
a gas flame, vapors from these
products form acid compounds. The
acid compounds increase the dew
point temperature of the flue products
and are highly corrosive after they
condense.
WARNING
!
ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS
MUST COMPLY WITH THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE AND
LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR FOR THE
FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION,
FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Combustion air requirements are
determined by whether the furnace is
in an open (unconfined) area or in a
confined space such as a closet or
small room.
EXAMPLE 1:
FURNACE LOCATED IN AN
UNCONFINED SPACE
Using indoor air for combustion.
An unconfined space must have at
least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000
BTUH of the total input for allappliances in the space. Here are a
few examples of the room sizes
required for different inputs. The sizes
are based on 8-foot ceilings.
BTUH Minimum Sq. Feet Typical Room Size
InputWith 8' CeilingWith 8' Ceiling
45,00028114' x 20' OR 16' x 18'

90,00056320’ x 28’ OR 24’ x 24’
105,00065720' x 33' OR 26' x 25'
If the open space containing the
furnace is in a building with tight
construction,outside air may still be
required for the furnace to operate
and vent properly. Outside air
openings should be sized the same
as for a confined space.
EXAMPLE 2:
FURNACE LOCATED IN A
CONFINED SPACE
A confined space (any space smaller
than shown above as “unconfined”)
must have openings into the space
which are located in accordance with
the requirements set forth in the
following subsections A and B. Size
the openings by how they are
connected to the heated area or to
the outside,
and by the input of all appliances in
the space.
If confined space is within a building
with tight construction, combustion air
must be taken from outdoors or area
freely communicating with the
outdoors.
A. USING INDOOR AIR FOR
COMBUSTION
IMPORTANT: Air should not be
taken from a heated space with a
fireplace, exhaust fan or other
device that may produce a
negative pressure.
If combustion air is taken from the
heated area, the openings must
each have at least 100 square
inches of free area. Each opening
must have at least one square inch
of free area for each 1,000 BTUH
of total input in the space. Here
are some examples of typical
openings required.

THIS FURNACE CAN CAUSE
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
OR AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE,
RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH.
Direct vent installationsrequire a
dedicated combustion air and venting
system. All air for combustion is taken
from the outside atmosphere and all
combustion products are discharged
to the outdoors. Therefore, no
ventilation or combustion air
openings are required.
IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion
air and venting components are of
Schedule 40 PVC. If using ABS
piping ensure that the solvent cement
is compatible for joining PVC to ABS
components or use a mechanical
connection that can withstand the
vent temperatures and are corrosion
resistant.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All exhaust piping must be installed in
compliance with Part 7, “Venting of
Equipment,”of the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code NPFA54/
ANSI Z223.1-, local codes or
ordinances and these instructions.
1. Vertical piping is preferred.
2. All horizontalpipingmust slope
upwarda minimum of
per foot of run so that condensate
drains toward the furnace.
3. All horizontal runs must be
supported at least every 4 feet.
No sags or dips are permitted.
4. IMPORTANT: Do not common
vent with any other appliance. Do
not install in the same chase or
chimney with a metal or high
temperatureplastic pipe from
another gas or fuel-burning
appliance unless the required
minimum clearances to
combustiblesare maintained
between the PVC pipe and other
pipes.

COMBUSTION AIR FOR
DIRECT VENT
INSTALLATIONS
THE COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM
DESIGNED FOR THIS FURNACE
MUST BE USED.
When this furnace is installed as a
direct vent forced air furnace, all
combustion air is supplied directly to
the burner through a special air inlet
system outlined in these instructions.
This system consists of field-supplied
Schedule 40 or 26 SDR-PVC pipe
and one of the following horizontal
vent termination kits: RXGY-D02 or
D02A, RXGY-D03 or D03A, or
RXGY-E03A.
NOTE: Schedule 40 ABS-DWV pipe
and fittings may be used as an
alternate to PVC pipe for the
combustion air inlet and vent pipes.
The combustion air for this furnace is
supplied directly from the outdoors
through the combustion air inlet
system.
When the furnace is installed in the
same space with other gas
appliances,such as a water heater,
be sure there is an adequate supply
of combustion and ventilation air for
the other appliances. Do not delete or
reduce the combustion air supply
required by the other gas appliances
in this space. See Z223.1, National
Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54) for determining the combustion air
requirementsfor gas appliances. An
unconfined space must have at least
50 cubic feet (volume) for each
1,000 BTUH of the total input of all
appliances in the space. If the open
space containing the appliances is in
a building with tight construction
(contemporaryconstruction), outside
air may still be required for the
appliances to burn and vent properly.
Outside air openings should be sized
the same as for a confined space.
STANDARD TERMINATIONS
STANDARD VERTICAL
TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING
Use two medium-radius sweep
elbows to keep the inlet downward to
prevent entry of rain. See Figure 20
for the proper relationship of
combustion air to exhaust
termination.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING
When 3-in. pipe is used between the
furnace and outside wall, reduce it
to 2 inches before penetrating the
wall. Up to 18 inches of 2-in. pipe
may be used inside the wall.
The standard horizontal intake air
terminationfor all models is a 2-in.
PVC coupling with a wind deflector
vane (provided) attached. Cut a
1
2
⁄4-in. length of 2-in. PVC pipe.
Connect this pipe and another 2-in.
PVC coupling to the coupling at the
wall. The outer coupling must
terminate 4 inches from the wall. See
Figure 21, Detail B, for vane location.
Attach vane in vertical position with
PVC solvent.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper
furnace operation, the supplied vane
must be installed in the vertical
position as shown in Figure 21, Detail
B.
The combustion air inlet terminal
must be located with respect to the
exhaust terminal as shown in Figure
21, Detail C.
IMPORTANT: All furnaces with
horizontal air intakes, except those
using concentric vent kit RXGY-E03A,
must have a drain tee assembly and
trap installed as close to the furnace
as possible. This is to drain any water
that may be in the combustion air
pipe to prevent it from entering the
furnace combustion chamber.
These parts are included in kits
RXGY-D02 or D02A (for 2-in. pipe),
RXGY-D03 or D03A (for 3-in. pipe).
Attach the trap to the bottom of the
tee with PVC solvent. Connect the
other end to a suitable drain, as to the
downstream of a condensate trap on
the furnace.
STANDARD VERTICAL
TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST VENT PIPING
Vertical through-the-roofvent
applicationsdo not require an
exhaust terminal. The exhaust vent
must terminate at least 12 inches
above the combustion intake air
termination.The exhaust vent for
models with inputs of 60,000 through
105,000 BTUH is 2-in. PVC pipe.
Refer to Table 2 for proper
application.See Figure 24.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST PIPING
For direct vent systems the standard
terminationis 2-in. PVC pipe
extending 12 inches from the wall for
furnaces with inputs from 60,000 to
105,000 BTUH. Install a 2-in. coupling
at the outside wall to prevent the
terminationfrom being pushed
inward. When 3-in. pipe is used
between the furnace and outside wall,
reduce to 2 inches before penetrating
the wall. The standard termination is
2-in. PVC pipe extending outward 12
inches from the wall for models with
inputs of 45,000 to 105,000 BTUH.
See Figure 21, Detail B.
The combustion air and exhaust
terminationsmust be at least 12
inches above grade and must be
oriented with respect to each other as
shown in Figure 21. Refer to section
on alternate venting options when
higher snow levels are anticipated.

maximum of 60/24 inches above the
wall penetration to maintain the
required 12 inch clearance above
grade or snow level respectively. See
Figure 18. Size the pipe length
according to Table 2.
IMPORTANT: The following
guidelines must be met when
extending beyond 24 inches of pipe
on the exterior of the structure:
• Sizethe entire vent system
according to the alternate, not
standard, termination shown in
Table 2.
23
• Insulate the entire length of vent
pipe, between the elbow where the
pipe exits the wall and the elbow
where the termination is made, with
a closed-cell insulation,such as
“Arm-a-Flex”or “Rub-a-Tex” with a
minimum of 1/2” thickness.
• Allelbows installed on the exterior
of the building must be of the long
sweep nature.
• As required for the horizontal piping
ran within the structure, any pipe
ran horizontal outside the structure
must slope upward a minimum of
1/4” per foot run so that condensate
drains toward the furnace.
From the top elbow in the exhaust
pipe, extend a length of PVC pipe
outward so that it terminates exactly
12 inches from the wall. See Figure
18.

The vent must be installed with the
following minimum clearances. See
Figures 22 & 23.
1. The bottom of the vent terminal
and the air inlet shall be located
at least 12 inches above grade.
Increase the 12-in. minimum to
keep the terminal openings
above the level of snow
accumulation,where applicable.
2. The vent shall not terminate over
public walkways or over an area
where condensate or vapor could
create a nuisance or hazard.
3. The vent terminal shall be
located at least one foot from any
opening through which flue
gases could enter a building.
4. The vent terminal shall be at
least 3 feet above any forced air
inlet located within 10 feet,
except the combustion air inlet of
a direct vent appliance.
5. The vent terminal shall have a
minimum horizontal clearance of
4 feet from electric meters, gas
meters, regulators and relief
equipment.
6. Locate the furnace combustion
air inlet minimum of 3 feet from
the vent of any other gas or fuel
burning appliance or clothes
dryer to prevent recirculation of
the flue gases into the furnace
combustion air inlet. The only
exception to this requirement is
the case of multiventing two or
more furnaces, which is covered
in the section on multiventing in
these instructions.
In addition to the minimum
clearances listed above, the vent
location should also be governed
by the following guidelines.
1. Do not terminate under any
kind of patio or deck. If running
the vent under a deck, insulate
it to insure no condensate
freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not terminate behind any area
that may allow the flue products
to become stagnant and
recirculate.
3. Do not locate on the side of a
building with prevailing winter
winds. This will help prevent
moisture from freezing on walls
and overhangs (under eaves).
4. Do not extend vent directly

GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
!
DO NOT RUN DRAIN OUTDOORS.
FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a
common drain line with an air conditioner evaporator coil drain located
below the furnace. A blocked or
restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the
furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
FILL TRAP ASSEMBLY WITH WATER
BEFORE OPERATING THE
FURNACE. This can be done by
removing the drain hose
from the trap and pouring about a
cup of water into the vent trap. Water
will flow into the house drain when the
trap is full.
If local codes require, install a
condensate neutralizer cartridge in the
drain line. Install cartridge in horizontal
position only. Also install an overflow
line if routing to a floor drain. See
Figures 30 and 31.
If no floor drain is available, install a
condensate pump that is resistant to
acidic water. Pumps are available from
your local distributor. If pump used is
not resistant to acidic water, a
condensate neutralizer must be used
ahead of the pump. The condensate
pump must have an auxiliary safety
switch to prevent operation of the
furnace and resulting overflow of
condensate in the event of pump
failure. The safety switch must be wired
through the “R” circuit only (low voltage)
to provide operation in either heating or
cooling modes.

minimum of 10
13
⁄16”. If the furnace is
installed in an attic, crawlspace or other
area where freezing temperatures may
occur, the furnace drain can freeze

Use a solvent cement that is compatible
with PVC material. Cut the drain hoses
to the appropriate length and connect to
the trap with hose clamps. Tighten the
clamps with pliers and check for leaks
after attaching.

Install the gas piping according to all
local codes and regulations of the
utility company.
If possible, run a separate gas supply
line directly from the meter to the
furnace. Consult the local gas
company for the location of the
manual main shut-off valve. The gas
line and manual gas valve must be
adequate in size to prevent undue
pressure drop and never smaller
than the pipe size to the combination gas valve on the furnace.
Refer to Table 3 for the recommended gas pipe size. See Figure 37
for typical gas pipe connections.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN A FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTOR INSIDE THE
UNIT. Extend the 1/2" black pipe from the gas valve to the outside of the cabinet.
Connect any flexible gas connector from there to the gas piping.
Install a ground joint union inside
the cabinet to easily remove the
control valve assembly. Install a
manual shut-off valve in the gas
line outside the furnace casing.
The T-valve should be readily
accessible to turn the gas supply on
or off. Install a drip leg in the gas
supply line as close to the furnace as
possible. Always use a pipe
compound resistant to the action of
liquefied petroleum gases on all
threaded connections.
IMPORTANT: When making gas pipe
connections,use a back-up wrench to
prevent any twisting of the control
assembly and gas valve.
Any strains on the gas valve can
change the position of the gas orifices
in the burners. This can cause erratic
furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: Do not run a flexible
gas connector inside the unit. 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.
Massachusettslaw requires that all
flexibile connectors be less than 36ⴖ.
The gas pipe gasket in the cabinet
does not seal around a flexi-ble gas
connector. It is important to have all
openings in the cabinet burner
compartment sealed for proper
furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE that the
furnace gas control valve not be
subjected to high gas line supply
pressures.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
UT ELECTRONIC CONTROLS &
INVESYS CLIMATE CONTROLS
Integrated Controls with Hot Surface
Ignition.
1. Each time the thermostat “W”
(Heating) contacts close, the
induced draft blower (inducer)
begins a prepurge cycle.
2. The air proving negative pressure
switch(es) closes.
3. 5 seconds after the pressure
switch(es) close, the hot surface
igniter begins heating for 30
seconds to full temperature. The
induced draft blower operates for the
complete heating cycle.
4. After the 30-second igniter warm up,
the gas valve opens for an
8-second trial for ignition.
5. The igniter lights the gas burners
and stays energized for the first 7
seconds after the gas valve
opens.
6. 8 seconds after the gas valve opens
the remote flame sensor must
prove flame ignition for one
second using the process of flame
rectification. If the burners don’t light,
the system goes through another
ignition sequence. It does this up tofour times.
7. The main blower starts
approximately 20 seconds after the
burners ignite.
8. When the thermostat “W” (Heat Call)
ends, the gas valve closes, the
burners go out, the induced draft
blower stops after a 10-secondpost-purge, and the negative
pressure switch(es) open.
9. The main blower continues until
timed off by the setting on the
integrated furnace control board.
Sequence if the system doesn’t light
or doesn’t sense flame:
1. On a call for heat, the control runs
the inducer for 35 seconds to
prepurge.
2. 5 seconds into prepurge, the hot
surface igniter heats for 30 seconds.
The inducer continues to run.
3. After the 30-second igniter warm up,
the gas valve opens for an
8-second trial for ignition. The
inducer continues and the igniter
stays energized.
4. If flame is not sensed during the 8th
second after the gas valve opens,
the gas valve closes, and the igniter
de-energizes.
5. After a 10-second post-purge, the
inducer stops and the control verifies
that the pressure switch has opened.
Once the open pressure switch is
confirmed, the control begins the
next ignition cycle by energizing the
inducer for a pre-purge of 30
seconds. After the 30-second prepurge, the igniter energizes and
begins a 30-second warm-up period
(inducer is still running). After a 30second igniter warm-up period (60
sec. of ind. running), the gas valve
opens and the control looks for a
flame signal for up to 8 seconds. If
no flame is sensed, the control goes
into “self-healing” mode, in which the
blower and inducer both run for three
minutes before another ignition
attempt is made.
NOTE: The following applies only
to units manufactured before third
Quarter 2003: After 5-second inter-
purge, the control begins a 30second pre-purge followed by a 30second igniter warm-up period
(inducer is still running). After the 30-
second igniter warm-up period, the
gas valve opens and the control
looks for a flame signal for up to 8
seconds. If no flame is sensed, the
control goes into “self-healing”
mode, in which the blower and
inducer both run for three minutes
before another ignition attempt is
made.
6. The control attempts to ignite up to
four times (first attempt followed by
three retries). After the fourth
failure to ignite, the control goes
into a one-hour “soft-lockout,”
during which the control will not
respond to the thermostat heat call
(W). The lockout can be reset by
shutting off main power to the
furnace for five seconds, or by
turning the heat call (W) from the
thermostat off and then back on.
Note that second and fourth
ignition attempts will have a 30second pre-purge followed by a 30second igniter warm-up period.
This prevents the igniter from
overheating.
7. The above sequence will repeat
after a one hour delay. It will
continue repeating until ignition is
successful or the call for heat is
terminated.
8. To reset the lock out, make and
break power either at the
thermostat or at the unit
disconnect switch for 5 to 10
seconds. It then goes through
another set of trials for ignition.

Ignition
1. Each time the thermostat contacts
close, the induced draft blower
(inducer) begins a prepurge cycle.
2. The air proving negative pressure
switch(es) closes.
3. 30 seconds after the pressure
switch(es) close, the spark
igniter energizes. The induced
draft blower operates for the
complete heating cycle.
4. After the spark igniter energizes,
the gas valve opens for a 8
second trial for ignition.
5. The igniter lights the gas burners.
6. After the gas valve opens the
flame sensor must prove flame
ignition for one second using the
process of flame rectification. If the
burners don’t light, the system
goes through another ignition
sequence. It does this up to four
times.
7. The main blower starts 20 seconds
after the burners ignite.
8. When the thermostat cycle ends,
the gas valve closes, the burners
go out, the induced draft blower
stops after a 10-second post-purge, and the negative pressure
switch(es) open.
9. The main blower continues until
timed off by the setting on the
integrated furnace control board.

Sequence if the system doesn’t
light or doesn’t sense flame:
1. On a call for heat, the control
runs the inducer for 30 seconds
to pre-purge.
2. After the 30-second pre-purge,
the spark igniter energizes. The
inducer continues to run.
3. After the spark igniter energizes,
the gas valve opens for an 8second trial for ignition. The
inducer continues and the igniter
stays energized.
4. If flame is not sensed within 8
seconds after the gas valve
opens, the gas valve closes, the
igniter de-energizes and:
5. The inducer completes a 10second post-purge, the inducer
stops, and the control verifies that
the pressure switch has opened.
Once the open pressure switch is
confirmed, the control begins the
next ignition cycle by energizing
the inducer for a pre-purge of 30
seconds. After the pre-purge, the
igniter energizes and the gas
valve opens (inducer continues to
run). If no flame is sensed on the
second attempt, the control goes
into a “self-healing” mode, in
which the blower and the inducer
run for 3 minutes before another
ignition attempt is made.
NOTE: The following applies
only to units manufactured
before third Quarter 2003: After
a 30-second inter-purge (inducer
runs continuously), the igniter is
energized, and the gas valve
opens for 8 seconds. If flame is
not sensed in 8 seconds, the gas
valve is closed and the igniter deenergizes. If no flame is sensed
on this second attempt, the
control goes into a “self-healing”
mode, in which the blower and
inducer run for 3 minutes before
another ignition attempt is made.
6. The control attempts to ignite up
to four times (first attempt
followed by three retries). After
the fourth failure to ignite, the
control goes into a one-hour
“soft-lockout” during which the
control will not respond to the
thermostat heat call (W). The
lockout can be reset by shutting
off main power to the furnace for
five seconds, or by turning the
heat call (W) from the thermostat
off and then back on.
7. The above sequence will repeat
after a one hour delay. It will
continue repeating until ignition is
successful or the call for heat is
terminated.
8. To reset the lock out, make and

disconnect switch for 5 to 10
seconds. It then goes through
another set of trials for ignition.

TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK
To determine if the air flow is correct,
make a temperature rise check.
1. Insert a thermometer in the supply
air duct as close to the furnace as
possible yet out of a direct line from
the heat exchanger. See Figure 49.
2. Insert a thermometer in the return air
duct as close to the furnace as
possible.
3. Operate the furnace.
4. When the thermometer in the supply
air duct stops rising (approximately
five minutes), subtract the return air
temperaturefrom the supply air
temperature.The difference is the
temperaturerise.
5. Compare the measured temperature
rise to the approved temperature rise
range listed on the furnace name
plate. See Figure 50.
If the measured temperature rise is above
the approved range, the air flow is too
low. More air must be moved by speeding
up the blower, by removing restrictionsin
the duct system, or by adding more
supply or return air duct. If the measured
temperaturerise is below the approved
range, the air flow is too much. Use lower
speed tap on the multi-speed blower.

DUCT RUNS AND AT THE SUPPLY
REGISTERS. ANY RECIRCULATED
DUST PARTICLES WILL
BE HEATED AND CHARRED BY
CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE
HEAT EXCHANGER.
THIS RESIDUE WILL SOIL
CEILINGS, WALLS, DRAPES,

HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to
lubricate the bearings on the blower
motor or the induced draft blower
motor. Addition of lubricants can
reduce the motor life and void the
warranty.
The blower motor and induced draft
blower motor are permanently
lubricated by the manufacturer and do
not require further attention.
The blower motor and induced draft
blower motor must be cleaned
periodicallyby a qualified installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier to
prevent the possibility of overheating
due to an accumulation of dust and
dirt on the windings or on the motor
exterior. And, as suggested
elsewhere in these instructions, the
air filters should be kept clean. Dirty
filters can restrict airflow. The motor
depends upon sufficient air flowing
across and through it to keep from
overheating.
SYSTEM OPERATION
INFORMATION
Advise The Customer
1. Keep the air filters clean. The
heating system will operate
better, more efficiently and more
economically.
2. Arrange the furniture and drapes
so that the supply air registers
and the return air grilles are
unobstructed.
3. Close doors and windows. This
will reduce the heating load on
the system.
4. Avoid excessive use of kitchen
exhaust fans.
5. Do not permit the heat generated
by television, lamps or radios to
influence the thermostat
operation.
6. Except for the mounting platform,
keep all combustible articles 3
feet from the furnace and vent
system.
7. IMPORTANT: Replace all blower
doors and compartment covers
after servicing the furnace. Do
not operate the unit without all
panels and doors securely in
place.
8. Explain proper operation of the
system with constant air
circulation.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
• The furnace should operate for
many years without excessive scale
build-up in the flue passageways.
However, it is recommended that a
qualified installer, service agency, or
the gas supplier annually inspect
the flue passageways, the vent
system and the main burners for
continued safe operation. Pay
particular attention to deterioration
from corrosion or other sources.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that at the beginning and at
approximatelyhalf way through the
heating season, a visual inspection
be made of the main burner flames
for the desired flame appearance by
a qualified installer, service agency
or the gas supplier. If the flames are
distorted and/or there is evidence of
back pressure, check the vent and
inlet air system for blockage. If there
is carbon and scale in the heat
exchanger tubes, the heat
exchanger assembly should be
replaced.
WARNING
!
HOLES IN THE VENT PIPE OR
HEAT EXCHANGER CAN CAUSE
TOXIC FUMES TO ENTER THE
HOME, RESULTING IN CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING OR
DEATH. THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT
EXCHANGER MUST BE
REPLACED IF THEY LEAK.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that at the beginning of the heating
season, the flame sensor be
cleaned with steel wool by a
qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that at the beginning of the heating
season, the condensate trap be
inspected for debris or blockage. A
blocked condensate trap can cause
water to back up into the primary
heat exchanger and lead to
nuisance tripping of the
overtemperature switches.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that at the beginning of the heating
season, the condensate neutralizer
if used be replaced by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that an annual inspection and
cleaning of all furnace markings be
made to assure legibility. Attach a
replacementmarking, which can be
obtained through the distributor, if
any are found to be illegible or
missing.
