II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. VENTING:
The OHC furnace venting system must be installed by a qualified service person in accordance with
local installation codes and these instructions. In the absence of applicable local codes, conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or latest edition.
Installation shall, at least, conform to the following requirements.
1. The exhaust vent/combustion air intake termination specified by Thermo Products, in this
manual, shall be used.
2. All plastic pipe and pipefittings sourced to complete the exhaust vent and air intake
systems shall be constructed of rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic. All components
shall have a wall thickness equivalent to Schedule 40 series materials.
In addition, all sourced PVC components shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing
agency (e.g. NSF, UL, etc.) as conforming to one (1) or more of the following design standard.
3. The exhaust vent pipe and combustion air pipe shall be at least as large as the exhaust vent/
air intake pipe specified by Thermo Products. Size reduction is never permissible. The
required exhaust vent/ air intake pipe size is 3”.
4. The furnace model series OHC shall not be common vented with any other appliance,
including those burning solid fuels.
5. All horizontal runs of exhaust vent pipe shall slope upward at least ¼ inch per foot from the
outlet of the furnace to the venter connection. This slope will permit proper drainage of the
condensate.
6. The exhaust vent pipe shall be supported at every joint ( no more than 4-feet between
supports) to prevent pipe blockage due to condensate trapped at a local low point, or sag,
in the vent system.
7. The maximum permissible length of piping (consisting of a combination of straight pipe
and a corresponding number of elbows) permitted is: (Each elbow equals 5 ‘ of straight pipe).
•55 equivalent feet, for the exhaust vent system,( eg. 25’ of straight pipe & 6 elbows)
65 equivalent feet, for the combustion air intake system, (eg. 35’ of straight pipe &
•
5 elbows).
8. When counting pipe elbows, all e lbo ws used in the exh aust
vent or combustion air intake systems must be considered. This includes all elbows, or
equivalent pipefittings, used inside the furnace jacket. Allow 5’ for each elbow.
Note: Two (2), 45
0
elbows can be substituted for one (1), 900 elbow.
5
Care should be taken to design the shortest possible intake and exhaust systems. Each system
should contain as few elbows as possible to insure the satisfactory operation of the furnace.
However, system length should never be less than 8 ft of pipe with two (2), 90 deg. el b o ws.
For best overall operation of the combustion system, we recommend the actual equivalent
lengths for both the constructed intake and the exhaust systems have approximately the same
value.
9. The furnace comes with two 3” street elbows. The first street el shall be affixed to the secondary
outlet collar either for left or right hand venting direction. First slide the black radiator hose
(parts bag) over the metal exhaust collar. Next, slide 2 band clamps over the radiator hose. Then
insert the PVC street el into the collar making sure to push the elbow all the way in until it stops.
Finally the band clamps can be positioned and tightened. If you are venting left or right, simply
continue venting with 3” PVC making sure to seal all connections. If you desire to vent thru the
top right of the cabinet, utilize the second street el and line it up accordingly. (See Figure 1)
Fig-1
10. Use a saw designed to cut thermoplastic pipe. All cuts should be made at right angles to the pipe
wall. Smooth jagged edges and remove all burrs and strings. Clean all pipe surfaces at connections
using a fine abrasive material or approved PVC cleaner (primer). Secure all pipe joints using suitable
permanent PVC pipe solvent cement. Joints are NOT to be made by simply gluing raw edges of
butted together vent pipe.
Notice: Piping joints inside the fu rnace vestibule should be sealed with si licone caulk, rather
than pipe cement, to allow for disassemble and removal of piping, if necessary, during
maintenance.
Notice: Use silicone caulk to seal the p ipe to the metal air intake collar on the burner, and then
secure with a sheet metal screw.
11. Vent connections shall be visually checked for leakage.
12. Vent pipe passing through an unheated space shall be insulated with 1-inch thick, foil-faced
6
fiberglass insulation, or equivalent, to prevent freezing of condensate within the pipe.
13. No clearance is required from the outer surface of the thermoplastic piping to combustible materials
for fire hazard prevention. No clearance is required from the outer surface of the ventor assembly
either.
14. When attaching the 3” PVC to the burner combustion air inlet collar, first apply a bead of RTV
sealant to the burner inlet collar only to ensure an airtight seal. Next, affix the PVC to the collar
with a ¾ x #8 sheet metal screw. This can be driven right into the collar and may protrude
into the airway.
B. INSTALLATION OF VENTOR:
Fig-2
7
NOTICE: Ventor assemb ly must be installed so that it is level. If unit is not level, condensate will
leak in to ventor box thru inducer and potentially freeze.
1. The OHC must be installed with the side-wall ventor/ blower assembly. Do Not attempt to operate the
OHC without the ventor assembly as this could result in damage to the appliance or home.
2. No clearance is required from the outer surface of the ventor assembly to combustible materials
for fire hazard prevention.
3. The ventor is designed to fit in between the joist space of 16 O.C.
4. Maximum wall thickness for the ventor assembly is 12”.
Fig-3
5. Remove vent system components from box and inspect for damage. If the carton has been crushed
or mutilated, check components very carefully for damage. DO NOT install if any damage is apparent.
6. Remove the vent tee from the vent pipe. Set the tee aside for now. Remove the exterior plate also.
7. See Fig. 3 for vent terminal location. As a general rule, location of the termination of the venting
system should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1,
manufacturer’s recommendations, and/or local codes that are applicable. Refer to the following
requirements or See Fig. 3 for typical locations.
8
A. The exit termination of the draft system shall not be less than 7’ above grade when located
adjacent to public walkways.
B. The venting system shall terminate at least 3’ above any forced air inlet located within 10’
horizontally.
C. The venting system shall terminate at least 4’ horizon tally from, or 1’ above an y door, window or
gravity air inlet into the building.
D. The vent termination sh all be located at least 12” from any opening throug h which vented gases
could enter the building.
E. The vent termination point shall not be installed closer than 3’ from an inside corner of an L-shaped
structure.
F. The vent termination should not be mounted directly above, or within 4’ horizontally from an oil tank
vent or gas meter.
G. The bottom of the vent tee outlet shall be located at least 12” above finished grade.
8. After determining the location of the venting system termination point (See Diagram A), cut a hole in
the wall 7” x 7”.
9. Mount the ventor assembly through the wall opening. Fasten the exterior trim plate to the ventor body
with the provided screws and a bead of silicone sealant. Then secure the trim plate to the outside wall
with silicone sealant and the appropriate fasteners. Install the 4” PVC Tee as shown in Fig. 2 using
silicone sealant and a sheet metal screw to secure.
10. Use plumbers strapping or equivalent means to support the ventor main body. When supporting the
main body, care must be taken to ensure the unit is level.
11. The 25” cable provided with the ventor connects power from the furnace to the ventor blower and
pressure switches. The molex connection plugs in to the ventor assembly connection, (See Fig. 2).
The other end is connected to the furnace plug. The cable should be securely supported.
12. If local codes require that the cable be run through a conduit, remove the molex end with a molex pin
removal tool or equivalent. Care should be taken to not damage the pins. Run the cable through the
conduit and then replace the molex plug.
13. Connect the 3” PVC exhaust pipe to the ventor exhaust connection with a 3” coupling. Use silicone
sealant to seal and a sheet metal screw to secure.
14. Connect the 3” PVC combustion air pipe to the ventor opening with 3” pipe. Use silicone sealant
and a sheet metal screw to secure.
9
C. Condensate Drain Line Connections:
Fig-4
1. The trap/blocked drain switch assembly comes pre-mounted to the underside of blower pan just
below the secondary drain port on the right side of the furnace. Prior to installing the drain, the PVC
elbow must be sealed to the plastic trap with silicone and then the spring clamp applied. This
positioning of the elbow can be turned to right for exiting the right side casing or rotated 180
exit the left side of the furnace. In either case, secure the desired length of ½” PVC to exit the drain
line hole in the appropriate side casing. The knock-out must be removed first and then the grommet
included in the parts bag must be used to seal the PVC to the side casing.
0
and
Notice: It must be noted that the condensate drain line cannot exit the furnace on the same side as
the filter rack due to interference.
2. Plan, source, and install a condensate drain line using ½ diameter PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
thermoplastic pipe and pipefittings. Route the line in the shortest possible manner to reach
a nearby drain. Secure all joints using PVC cement. For gravity drainage, the condensate drain line
must maintain a minimum ¼ inch per foot downward slope toward drain. The drain line must be
watertight, supported and secured such that it cannot be easily moved.
Notice: If an air conditioning condensate drain line is combined with the furnace condensate drain line,
the air conditioning evaporator coil must have a separate trap installed ahead of the connection joint.
3. The OHC furnace is equipped with a blocked drain switch to prevent the furnace from continued
operation in the event of a blocked or slow draining drain. This switch is wired in series with the T & T
circuit (see wire diagram page 54 for details) and will open if the water level gets too high. This is non adjustable and cannot be by-passed.
10
4. A condensate pump may be required when:
• a suitable drain is not present,
• the drain is above the trap outlet level on the furnace, or
• the drain line cannot be sloped downward its full length to the drain.
If gravity drainage of the condensate from the furnace to a drain is impractical for any of these
reasons, a condensate pump (part #350225) is available from Thermo Products. Follow the pump
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.
CAUTION: Continual exposure to condensate may injure plants and damage certain building
5.
materials, including metal, wood, stone, and concrete.
Flue gas condensate is slightly acidic with a pH of about 3.5. (A pH level of 7.0 is considered neutral.
Carbonated cola drinks with a pH of 3.1 are actually slightly more acidic than condensate.) If local
codes require an acid neutralizing kit, a kit is available from Thermo Products under part no. 320095.
Follow the instructions enclosed with the neutralizing kit for proper installation.
6. The condensate piping in the furnace and the drain system should be flushed out at the start of every
heating season. This will ensure trouble free operation and will keep the acidity level well above a pH
of 3.4, i. e. more towards neutral.
To flush the condensate drain system, follow these steps.
a. Turn off electrical power to the furnace at the disconnecting switch and adjust the room thermostat
to “OFF”, or to the lowest temperature setting.
b Flush the drain system by removing the drain hose from the secondary heat exchanger coil drain
nipple and running tap water into the open end of the tubing. Run at least a quart of water through
the drain system or more, until the water leaving the drain system is clear and colorless in color and
free of any particulate matter.
c Replace the drain tubing by pushing it firmly onto the nipple. Make sure the spring-type hose clamp
is returned to the original position to prevent leaks.
d. If any of the electrical controls are inadvertently wetted during the flushing process, dry them with a
soft cloth and wait 24 hours before operating the furnace.
e. Adjust the room thermostat to the “HEAT” position, or to the desired temperature, and restore
electrical power to the furnace.
D. DUCT WORK/AIR CONDITIONING:
Design and installation of the duct system should follow the current guidelines of the Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (ACCA) or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE). Refer to the Residential Duct Systems, Manual D, from the ACCA, and the
ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals volume, from the ASHRAE, for recommended practices in the duct
system design and installation. To obtain copies of these publications for a fee, contact the ACCA and the
ASHRAE, at the addresses given in Appendix A of this manual.
All furnaces are tested over a range of external static pressure that simulates the airflow resistance of the
ductwork, fittings, and diffusers connected to the furnace for a typical (average) duct system. The furnace
11
blower and blower motor have been selected to work successfully against the following range of duct
system resistance.
Recommended range of duct system resistance for all models: 0.2 to 0.5 in. W. G. external static
pressure.
Due to the need to maintain an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air, the furnace shall not
be installed in small room without return air duct system. A duct the full size of the furnace return aid
opening shall extend to a location outside the furnace room.
If the furnace is used in connection with summer air conditioning (cooling), the furnace should be installed
in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, the evaporator coil to avoid water vapor condensation in the
furnace heat exchanger. If the cooling unit is installed in a parallel flow arrangement, dampers (or other
means used to control airflow) should be provided to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If such
damper is manually operated, it must be equipped with a means to prevent operation if either unit, unless
the damper is placed in either the full heat or full cool position.
NOTICE: Return air grilles and supply r egisters in the air distribution system should n ever be
obstructed.
The duct system shall be designed for the maximum CFM requirements of the installation
whether it is for heating of cooling. Two common rules are as follows: 1.) 400 CFM/ton cooling
2.) 14 CFM/1000 BTU’S heating for 55
0
-850 Temp. Rise. The most common location for the
A-shaped coil (A style) is shown in Fig. 5.
Fig-5: Furnace with coil cabinet
NOTICE: The minimum coil pan clearance for a sectional or drum type heat exchanger is three inches unless specified otherwise by the individual coil manufacturer.
E. Air Filter Mounted External to Furnace:
On highboy furnaces, it is necessary to cut the return air opening in the side, rear casing or base,
depending upon the needs of the specific installation.
The filter rack provided with the furnace, refer to Fig. 6, can serve as a template to scribe a mark for the
return air opening on the casing. Place the filter rack on a side casing approximately one inch up from the
bottom of the furnace and centered from side to side. Place the securing flange against the casing when
locating the return air opening. For your convenience, (3) locator knockouts have been placed at the
proper locations on both the left and right side casings. Cut the opening to the O. D. of the knock-outs.

I. OIL TANK AND PIPING:
: All local codes and ordinances take precedence with regard to selection and
installation of oil storage tank and oil supply (and return) lines. In the absence of local codes, all
tanks and lines must be selected and installed according to the instructio n s in th is manual and
the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-1997, or the latest edition.
In situations where the oil storage tank is installed at the same level with, or above, the burner, a single oil
supply line run from the oil tank to the burner will usually be adequate. No return line will be required. If
the oil tank is installed below the burner and the lift exceeds approximately 8-ft, an oil supply line and an
oil return line are recommended.
Refer to the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, and the oil burner
operating instructions for detailed information on oil storage tank and oil supply/return installation.
NOTICE: We recommend installing a high efficiency oil filter, in the oil supply li n e, capable of
filtering 10 to 20 micron diameter (or preferable smaller) particles from the fuel.
15
If available, the use of ultra-low or low sulfur (less than 0.0015% S and 0.05% S, by weight,
respectively), no. 2 fuel oil is highly recommended. Low sulfur fuel oil can help to significantly reduce
instances of blockage and corrosion of the oil burner fuel delivery system (especially the nozzle), the
furnace heat exchanger, and the flue gas venting system. Air pollutants emitted by the furnace and the
typical malodorous smell of oil combustion will be reduced.
1. The use of black steel pipe and malleable iron fittings or heavy wall copper is recommended for
all fuel oil service lines. Never use galvanized steel piping or fittings for any fuel oil lines.
2. Where practical, provide rigid supports for the piping.
3. If the piping size in a run must be reduced, use reducing couplings only. Avoid the use of
reducing bushings.
4. Remove all pipe thread burrs and inspect the pipe for dirt or other foreign material prior to
connecting. If present, remove any deposits in the piping and discard any excessively corroded
piping.
5. A readily accessible, design-certified, manual oil shutoff valve, with a non-displaceable rotor
member, shall be installed in the fuel oil supply piping within 6 feet of the appliance.
6. A pipe union, or flanged connection, shall be provided downstream from the manual oil shutoff
valve to permit removal of the appliance oil pump. Pipe unions must be the ground joint type or
flanged-jointed using a gasket resistant to the corrosive action of fuel oils.
7. Pipe dope or thread sealant design-certified to be resistant to the action of fuel oils should be
used on all threaded joints. Thread sealant should only be applied to the male member of a
joint. The first two threads on the end of the male member of each pipe joint should be clean
and free from thread sealant.
8. Connection of the oil supply and return line piping to the appliance should be made from the
left-hand side of the burner, facing the burner compartment cover.
9. When copper is to be used for fuel oil supply lines, use of continuous runs of heavy wall copper
tubing is recommended. Avoid running tubing against any type of h eating unit and across ceiling or floor joists. If possible, install the tubing under the floor.
10. Where tubing is used for fuel oil supply lines, insure the tubing contains no kinks, sharp bends,
or collapsed regions where the ins ide cr oss -sectional area of the tube is greatly reduced. These
will excessively reduce the flow of oil.
11. Flared fittings should be used at all tube joints, when tubing is used for fuel supply lines. Do
not use compression fittings. Avoid the use of tube fittings in inaccessible locations.
The BF3 burner has been factory set-up for a two pipe system. This means the burner has been
equipped with a by-pass plug. To aid in the installation, twin street-ells have been applied to the burner
oil connections. It is recommended that the installation remain a two-pipe set-up. If there are issues of
difficulties in running a return line to the oil tank it is permissible and recommended to install a de-aerator
such as a Tigerloop Brand for this application. This will ensure there to be no lift issues or problems with
the installation and eliminate the need to run a return pipe back to the tank.
Burners are equipped with a single-stage, fuel pump. This type of fuel pump, when connected with a
supply line only, is satisf actory where the fuel suppl y is level with, or above the burner thus permitting
gravity flow of oil to the burner. If the tank is above the burner, and gravity oil feed to the burner is
permitted, a single line system may be used. The line should have a gradual slope downward of
approximately 1/2 inch per f oot, or more, from the tank to a point directl y below where it is connected to
16
the pump. Pitching the line upward toward the tank will help prevent the form ation of air pockets in the
line.
J. ELECTRICAL WIRING:
: This appliance must be grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, or the latest edition.
Electrical Connections
NOTICE: All field wiring must conform to local, state, and national installation codes.
A disconnection switch equipped with overcurrent protection rated at 15 A. (e.g. a time delay-
type fuse or inverse time, circuit breaker) should be installed in the service line for shutting
down and protecting the furnace and electrical system.
Since the furnace is entirely pre-wired at the factory, it is only necessary to connect the building
electrical service lines to the two (2) pigtail wires extending from the 2x4 junction box. The fan timer
board is mounted inside the furnace blower compartment. The service lines to the furnace should be
no smaller than 14 Ga., insulated copper wire with a temperature rating of 60
Connect an equipment ground wire to the furnace at the 2x4 junction box. If wiring
is run through metal electrical conduit, it may not be necessary to run a separate equipment
ground wire. Consult local codes and authorities for specific minimum requirements.
A two (2) wire connection to the room thermostat from the fan timer board is also
necessary. This is typically a low voltage (24 VAC) circuit. Consult the National Electr ical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-2002 or latest edition, for guidelines for proper wiring methods and materials for this
circuit.
Refer to the electrical diagrams contained in Appendix B of this manual for an electrical schematic,
a connection diagram, and operating instructions.
Room Thermostat
A room thermostat is not furnished with this furnace. However, a thermostat is required to properly
operate the furnace control system in a typical residential heating application.
The room thermostat should be located on an interior wall in the natural circulating path of the room
air.
The thermostat should not be installed in a location where it is directly exposed to,
• cold air infiltration, i.e. drafts from outside openings such as windows and doors,
• air currents produced by supply air registers, and
• heat from a nearby source, such as a fireplace, electrical appliances, lamps,
solar radiation, a wall enclosing warm air ducts, a chimney, or a flue gas vent.

Post-Purge Timer:
This furnace is equipped with a post-purge timer located in the blower compartment on the control panel.
It is pre-set at the factory for a 4 minute post-purge. This is designed to ensure that no residual heat or
combustion odors permeate back into the home. The 4 minutes has been deemed sufficient, however if
you experience the need for a longer post-purge, the device has 3 selectable settings; 4 minutes, 5
minutes and 7 minutes. By simply turning the knob to one of the remaining selections the post-purge time
will be effected.
Fig-7A Post Purge Timer
Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC) and Humidifier Installation:
The fan timer on this unit has designated terminals to control the operation of an electronic air cleaner
and/or humidifier. These terminals provide line voltage for the control of these accessories, refer to
Figure 8 on the next page. Connection between EAC and N6 provides a switched 115 vac to power an
electronic fan cleaner. The same-switched 115 vac is available between Fan and N7 and may be used in
conjunction with a humidistat to control a humidifier. These terminals are energized whenever the blo wer
is active.
18
Fig-8: The Fan Control Module
NOTICE: It is important to confirm that the operating voltage of the humidifier or EAC being
installed matches the output of this c o n trol. If not, a field supplied relay or transformer may be
necessary to provide the proper control and supply voltage for the accessory being installed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the humidifier or EAC for additional information.
Thermostat Anticipator Setting:
Proper control of the indoor air temperature can only be achieved if the thermostat is calibrated to the
heating and/or cooling cycle. Calibration will help to produce a more constant indoor temperature by
adjusting the length of the heating/cooling cycle to fit the application. A vital consideration of this
calibration is related to the thermostat heat anticipator.
The proper thermostat heat anticipator setting is 0.2 ampere. To increase the length of the cycle,
increase the setting of the heat scale; to decrease the setting of the heat scale.
Anticipators for the cooling operation are generally pre-set by the thermostat manufacturer and require
no adjustment.
L. Blower Motor Speed Selection
: Turn off the electrical power to the unit, before attempting to change supply air
blower speed wiring.
The heat rise is determined by the blower tap selection on the control board located in the blower
compartment. For this ECM system, the ¾ hp motor is equipped with 5 speeds. The unit is set for
a temp rise of 60

Thermostat Input LEDs
Four green LEDs are plac ed beneath their respect ive thermostat connec tions (W, Y, G and DEHU M)
and operate whenever a call is present. See Diagnostic Features for a function description of

Operating Modes
Standby Mode
All outputs are off and the contr ol is waiting for a therm ostat demand. T he thermostat inputs, and limit
switch are continuous ly monitored. The control ini tiates action when a therm ostat call is received or
limit switch opens.
Fan Mode
A call for fan (“G” ) is rec eived f rom the ther m ostat. If no other m ode is ca lling f or blo wer op eration, the
control will operate the f an relay (K4) and power the “Low” blo wer speed terminal. The fan mode will
be operated as long as the “G ” input is calling an d neither the Heat m ode nor the Cool m ode is calling
for blower operation. When the Heat and Cool modes call for blower operation, their respective
outputs will take precedence after their respective turn-on time delays have expired.
Cooling Mode
A call for cool (“ Y”) is received f rom the therm ostat. If the heat mode is not active or t he anti-short
cycle delay is not in effect, the control will energize the “C C” terminal and after a 10 sec ond power
demand conservation delay energizes the “COOL” speed blower terminal.
When the call for c ool is satisfied, the “CC” term inal is de-energized and t he cooling off delay of 45
seconds is started. Fort y-five seconds later the “COOL” speed blower term inal is de-energized and
the control reverts to Standby Mode.
Dehumidification Operation
If a call for dehum idification is rec eived while t he Cool Mode is active, blo wer speeds will be reduced.
The PSC “COOL” blow er s peed ter minal (1158-100 model on ly) will be de-energized and “Lo w” b lo wer
speed will be energized.
Anti-Short Cycle Operation
To prevent compressor short cycling, a call for cooling will be ignored for four minutes after the
termination of any cooling call. The anti-short cycle delay is also in effect at power-up.
Heat Mode
When a call for heat (“W”) is received from the therm ostat, if the “Co ol” m ode is n ot alread y act ive, the
“T-T” terminal is energi zed and the blower on dela y is started. The on-of f pattern of DIP switch SW2
(positions 1 and 2) selec t one of four blower on delay values (s ee Table 7). W hen the delay time has
elapsed, the “HEAT ” blower speed is energized. T he control remains in stead y heat mode until the
thermostat is satisf ied. When the call for heat signal is rem oved, th e “ T-T” terminal is de-energize d and
the blower off dela y is started. T he on-off pattern of DIP s witch SW 2 (positions 3 and 4) select one of
four blower off delay values (see Table 7). When the delay time has elapsed, the “HEAT” blower
speed terminal is de-energized.

will provide power to the Cool speed tap only.
In the c ase of thermos tat calls for “Y” and “W” together , blower speed selectio n will be determined by
the input that was firs t initiated. In the case where th e control is in a cooling m ode with both “Y” and
“W” inputs energized an d then the “Y” input is removed, th e cooling blower off time will b e executed
prior to the control switch ing into a heating mode. In t he case where the control is in a heating mode
with both “Y” and “W” inputs energized and then th e “W” input is rem oved, the heating blower of f time
will be executed pri or to th e control s witching into a c ooling m ode. In the case wher e a call f or fan “G ”

N. STARTUP PROCEDURES:
A. Heating System
1. Initial Startup :
: Turn off power to furnace. Before the oil piping system is placed into service, it must
have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor.
: For initial start-up of the appliance after installation, it may be necessary to purge the
air out of the oil line. A qualified heating contractor should do this.
Review the following items before the initial startup. It may be helpful to review the Sequence of
Operations in Section VIII of this manual, also.
a. Check all wiring for loose connections and proper hook-up. Refer to the connection diagram.
b. Leak test all field oil piping connections. Generally, this will involve pressurizing the oil piping
with air while being careful to isolate the oil tank at high test pressures. A qualified heating contractor should perform this service.
c. Check to see that the vent terminal is correctly installed and the terminal openings are clear
and free from blockage.
d. Make sure the air filter is in place and relatively clean of dirt and debris.
e. Make sure the thermostat is set in the heating mode of operation.

2. Adjustment of Burner Combustion:
: Do not run the oil pump dry for more than five minute s, as irreparable damage may
result.
NOTICE: Read the burner operation and service instructions Manual before continuing.
To initially adjust and successfully service the oil burner in the appliance heating section, the following
test instruments are required:
• A smoke density measuring and rating device,
• A carbon-dioxide (CO
• A flue gas temperature measuring device (e.g., thermocouple or thermistor probe with readout
device),
• An analog or digital multimeter, and
• An oil pressure gauge capable of reading 0-150 PSIG.
3. Sequence of Operation for the OHC:
The OHC has been designed to operate under a negative over-fire pressure. This is accomplished in part
by the coordinated set-up of the Riello BF3 burner and the inducer blower which is installed in the ventor
assembly. The two devices work together for proper operation. The sequence of operation is as follows:
) or oxygen (O2) analyzer,

26
1. Call for heat TSTAT closes sending 24 volts to “W”.
2. The 24 volt relay closes sending 115v to the inducer in the ventor assembly.
3. The inducer comes up to speed and provides flow and pressure which closes the pressure switch.
4. Upon this pressure switch closing, T & T are closed to bring on the burner.
To initially fire the oil burner, proceed in the following manner:
a. Turn the disconnecting switch, which provides power to the appliance, to the "OFF" position.
b. Set the room thermostat above room temperature.
c. Verify the oil tank is filled with sufficient fuel oil to operate the appliance.
d. Open all valves in the oil supply line to the burner.
e. Remove the burner compartment cover from the appliance.
f. Turn the disconnecting switch to “ON”.
g. Prime the pump to remove air in the oil supply line.
• See Riello Burner Man ua l includ ed.
h. The burner has been installed with the pump pressure pre-set to 145 psi, the turbulator set at 3
and the air gate set to 3. These are general preliminary settings and adjustments should be
made to ensure clean combustions for this application.
i. Replace burner cover.
j. The air adjustments can be made by removing the plastic plug on the top right side of the cover.
Turning the screw counter clockwise will increase the amount of combustion air. Turning the
screw clockwise will decrease the amount of combustion air. A small ¼ “ diameter hole should
be drilled in PVC just outside the furnace to insert the combustion sample hose. Remember to
seal hole after acquiring flue gas sample.
5. Burner now operates and can be properly set-up for clean combustion.
6. Blower comes on after delay on time.
Notice: To achieve proper combusti o n instruments must be used to secure CO
and smoke samples.
Notice: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasan t o d o r. To prevent
this odor from occurring more than on ce, it is suggested the heating section be al lowed to run for

slightly reduces combustion efficiency, to keep the heating system within normal operating
conditions though external conditions may vary. Some “out-of- spec” conditions which may
adversely affect burner performance are, low oil supply temperature, dirty (contaminated) oil, low
heating content (BTU/gal) oil, cold heat exchanger surfaces, and downdraft conditions. By
adjusting the burner in this manner, an operational tolerance is established by allowing the
burner to function well, even under less than ideal conditions. This results in less service and
maintenance during a heating season.
l. Removing the draft over fire cap allows for flame inspection and over fire pressure
measurement. The over fire pressure will be negative and will vary depending on the final
combustion set-up. If the over fire pressure is positive, shut down the burner and make certain
the inducer is operating and that the vent system meets the installation requirements on page 9
and 10.

efficiency.
The supply air temperature should be measured in the supply air trunkline approximately 12 inches
downstream of the supply air outlet of the appliance.

n. After final adjustments are completed, tighten all screws to fix the positions of the burner air
band and replace the plastic plug.
o. Check for the presence of oil leaks. Correct any leaks found.
p. Reassemble the burner compartment cover and replace the draft pipe cap.
q. Start and stop the unit several times while checking for proper ignition of the burner. The
flame should ignite and stabilize without any significant rumbles or pulsations.

NOTICE: To achieve proper combustion and the efficiencies listed in sales brochures, instruments
must be used to secure CO2 or O2 readings.
3. Adjustment Of Heat Input Rate:
This appliance was shipped from the factory with one, fixed, main burner nozzle sized to produce the
input rate using no. 2 fuel oil at 145 psi. The input rate cannot be increas e d.
The main burner oil nozzle for this unit was selected based upon the following assumed characteristic
values of the fuel oil suitable for use with this appliance design:
1. For no. 2 distillate fuel (domestic heating) oil having a higher heating value of 140,000 BTU per
gallon and a specific gravity of 0.88 @ 60ºF. (or “gravity” of 30º API @ 60ºF.).
4. Setting Supply Ai r Temperature Rise:
: To avoid injury from moving parts or electrical shock, shut off the power to the
appliance before removing supply air blower compartment door and servicing this a p p liance.
The OHC is designed and wired at the factory for a blower speed during heating that should result in an
approximate temperature rise of 60°F. The temperature rise through the heating section, for any given
blower speed, may vary depending on a number of factors. A few of these factors are variations in, the
actual resistance of the duct system to airflow at any time, the return air temperatures, and the fuel oil
heating value.
Also, fouling of the heat exchanger surfaces will reduce temperature rise. In general, a lower temperature
rise through the heating section will result in higher heating efficiency.
29
Temperature rise = supply air temperature - return air temperature.
After 15 to 20 minutes of continuous operation, the temperature rise through the furnace must fall within a
range of 55° to 85° F. If the outlet or supply duct temperature is too high, check to make sure the return
air filter is clean, the return air registers are free from obstruction, the outlet registers are properly
adjusted and clear, and the supply and return air ducts are open. The circulating air blower is not moving
enough air if the supply air temperature is still too high. Before proceeding further, turn off the power
supply to the appliance and remove the vestibule cover. The speed of the blower must be increased by
changing the switch setting on the control board, please refer to Table 6.
5. Checkout Procedure:
Before any system of oil piping is finally put into service, it shall be carefully tested to assure that it is
“gas-tight”, as indicated in the Heating System Initial Startup section of this manual.
NOTICE: All controls on the unit should be checked for proper fu n ctioning prior to the qualified
service personnel leaving the job s ite. Specifically the following should be checked:
a. With heating system in normal heating operation, check to make certain blower will start and stop
automatically under control of the indoor thermostat.
b. Check safety limit control as follows:
i. Shut off incoming power.
ii. Block return air opening or disconnect blower motor leads.
iii. Restore power to appliance.
iv. In the heating mode, set the thermostat above room temperature producing “a call for
heat”.
v. When high air temperatures are reached within the heating section, the high limit control
should act to shutdown the burner.
vi. Shut off the electrical power.
IMPORTANT: Remove blockage or reconnec t b lower motor and restore power.
c. Make certain the thermostat will automatically start and stop the appliance.
NOTICE: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasant o d o r. To prevent
this odor from occurring more than on ce, it is suggested the heating section be al lowed to run for
30 minutes, or until odor has dissipated.

B. HEAT EXCHANGER: CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: A qualified heating contractor must clean the heat exchanger.
At least once a year, inspect the heat exchanger for evidence of corrosion, pitting, warpage, deterioration,
and carbon (soot) build-up. A layer of soot on the inside of the heat exchanger will act as an insulator and
reduce heat transfer, resulting in less heating efficiency.
Also, look for loose or deteriorated gaskets and insulation around the vent pipe, the burner, and
accessible areas of the heat exchanger. If this ins pec t i on i nd icates h eat ex c hang e r clean ing is nec es s ary,
follow the heat exchanger cleaning instructions below.
WARNING: THE HEAT EXCHANGER MUST BE CLEANED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON.
It is important to inspect and clean the heat exchanger once a year, or as necessary, to remove any buildup of soot. A layer of soot on the inside of the heat exchanger will act as an insulator and reduce heat
transfer, resulting in less efficiency.
1. To clean the heat exchanger, first turn off all power to the unit. Remove the vent connector, the
burner, and the burner mounting plates. Then place the heat exchanger cleaning shelf on the 3 bottom
bolts as pictured. (See figure 11).
2. With access to the inside of the heat exchanger through the burner area, it is possible to use a long,
flexible wire brush and an industrial type vacuum cleaner to remove any soot build-up. NOTE: A one inch
(outside diameter) vacuum cleaner hose will fit into the tubes.
To vacuum and brush the tubes of the heat exchanger, go through the front openings in both directions,
as shown in figure 12 on the next page.
3 Remove front cover of heat recovery coil by removing all of the mounting screws. Then carefully pry
the cover loose taking care not to bend the cover. Remove a couple of turbulators to give visual
inspection of both the tube and tabulator. If excess build-up of soot is found, the secondary coil will need
thoroughly cleaned.
4. The entire heat exchanger can be removed from the front by removing the separator. Next remove
both side block-off baffles. Then disconnect the drain hose. The heat exchanger will now be able to be
pulled straight out of the furnace with the aid of the two back support wheels.
5. The rear coil cover should now be removed as done in #3. Next remove all turbulators. The
secondary can now be thoroughly brushed and cleaned.
34
6. Reassemble the secondary to its original state. Replace heat exchanger, coil block-offs, and
separator. Reassemble furnace to its original construction. Remount the burner combustion air inlet. Reconfirm combustion settings.
Replace any damaged or corroded components. All gaskets and insulation must be inspected,
and replaced, if they show any signs of damage.

damaged or frayed wiring and tighten any loose connections.
2. Use a voltmeter, or a multimeter, to check for adequate voltage at the field connections when the
appliance operating.
3. Use an ammeter, or a multimeter, to check the current draws of the blower motor and burner assembly,
to assure they are not exceeding rating label current specifications for each component. Also, refer to
Table 5 in the electrical wiring section of this manual for electrical specifications on these components.
4. Check for correct operation and proper settings (if manually adjustable) of all controls.
E. SUPPLY/RETURN AIR BLOWER:
Check in the blower compartment for dust, dirt, debris, and for the presence of insects. Remove any
foreign material. Clean the blower wheel, housing, and compartment of dust and lint with a vacuum.
The blower motor has sealed bearings that are permanently lubric at ed. Theblower motor bearings do
not require oil or any type of additio n al lubrication.
F. SUPPLY/RET U RN AIR FIL TER:
The filter rack will be located between the return air plenum and the return air opening on the side of the
furnace. This filter should be inspected regularly. When the filter is dirty, it should be cleaned or replaced
to assure proper heating/cooling system operation. Follow the cleaning, removal and replacement
procedure below.
Filter maintenance procedure:
Shut off the electrical power to the unit. Open the access door. Slide the air filter out of the filter rack.

G. EXTENDED APPLIANCE SHUTDOWN:
Primary reset has been engaged more than two times.
Excess oil has accumulated in the combustion chamber or beneath
the burner assembly.
The combustion chamber or the heat exchanger is full of fuel vapor.
The combustion chamber is very hot.
Should the appliance be shutdown or turned off for an extended period of time, several steps can be
taken to help insure a smooth and reliable restart of the heating system.
ON SHUTDOWN:
: Do not attempt to start burner when:
1. Close oil supply (or manual shutoff) valve.
38
2. Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
3. Fill the oil tank to reduce water condensation in the tank.
4. If the shutdown period will exceed one heating season, an oil stabilizer should be added to the oil
tank. Consult your oil supplier for recommendations.
ON STARTUP:
1. Have system inspected and started by a qualified heating contractor.
2. Check oil level in tank. If the tank has not been filled with fresh oil, inspect the remaining oil for
signs of contamination with water, algae, dirt or other impurities. If excessive, consult your oil
supplier for recommendations.
3. Change the oil filter cartridge and clean the canister.
4. Set the room thermostat above room temperature.
5. Open all valves in the oil supply line.
6. Open the inspection cover on the upper mounting plate.
7. Turn on the electrical power to start the burner. If the burner does not start, immediately reset the
manual overload switch on the motor (if so equipped) and the safety switch of the burner
primary control. Bleed air from the fuel oil line as soon as the burner motor starts rotating. To
bleed the fuel pump, attach a clear plastic hose over the vent plug, refer to Figure 15. Loosen
the plug and catch the expelled oil in an empty container. Tighten the plug when all the trapped
air appears to be purged. If the burner stops during bleeding, wait three to five minutes for the
control safety switch to cool. Then manually reset the switch. Continue bleeding the line until the
air is completely removed.

VI. HOMEOWNER/USER INFORMATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
WARNING: Never burn garbage or refuse in this appliance. Never try to ignite
oil by tossing burning papers or other material into the combustion chamber.
WARNING: Oil-fired appliances produced by Thermo Products are designed for
burning No. 2 distillate (domestic heating) fuel oil. Never use gasoline or a
mixture of oil and gasoline.
: Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of
the control system and any oil control that has been under water.
: Should overheating occur, or the oil supply fail to shut off, shut off the
electrical power to the appliance, before shutting off the manual oil valve.
: The area around the appliance, including the top of the unit, must be
kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
: Do not attempt to make repairs yourself. Contact your local qualified
heating contractor.
Under normal conditions, this appliance will operate in either heating or cooling mode, depending upon
the mode of operation set at the thermostat. The unit will cycle on and off automatically, as required, to
maintain the air temperature within the residence as closely as possible to the thermostat setting.
However, in rare cases, the unit may shutdown automatically during a normal cycle or may not operate
under seemingly normal conditions.
If the unit will not operate in the heating mode, it may be possible to reactivate the unit by resetting
one of the burner controls. To attempt resetting of the burner controls, follow this procedure.
1. Turn the thermostat temperature setting down and set the operating mode to “OFF” or
“COOLING”.
2. Remove the furnace front door.
3. Check to see if the light on the burner primary is on. If so, the control may have “locked out”. To
recycle the control system, depress the reset button. Refer to Figure 16.
4. Replace and secure the furnace front door.
5. Set the operating mode on the thermostat to “HEATING” and turn the thermostat temperature
setting up.
40
Fig-16
If this action does not reactivate the unit, contact a qualified service agency for assistance.
In general, if the thermostat is set in the heating mode, the heating system functions entirely
automatically. However, under certain circumstances, the appliance may not be able to fire the burner.
For instance, if the manual oil shutoff valve has been closed or the oil tank is out of fuel, the oil line may
have air trapped in it. It will be necessary to purge the air by bleeding the supply line from the tank to the
burner again for the heating system to operate. Refer to the instructions under the Extended Appliance
Shutdown section of this manual.
NOTICE: Thermo Products recommends that the user/homeowner, contact a qualified service
agency for assistance in bleeding th e fuel line(s) and lighting off the heatin g section.
The following maintenance points should be reviewed periodically to assure the heating and cooling
systems continue to function properly.
: Shut off unit and disconnect the power source before disassembling the unit.
: Never operate the appliance without clean air filters in place.
: This appliance requires air for combustion, ventilation, and cooling. Do not block or
obstruct air openings in the unit and th e air space around the perimeter of the unit.
1. At least every three months, under normal usage conditions, check and clean all air filters in the
appliance and, if present, in the duct system. If excessively dirty air filters are not cleaned, or
changed, poor system performance will result due to reduced airflow. Low airflow places
unnecessary strain on the compressor, possibly causing the system to shutdown on the
refrigerant high-pressure switch. Refer to Figure 14 for a sketch of the filter location.
2. Do not allow the fuel oil tank to run completely empty. During the summer, keep the tank full to
reduce condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the tank. If the fuel tank runs
completely dry, it may be necessary to bleed air from the fuel lines. Contact a qualified heating contractor to bleed the lines and restart the burner.
3. Check the supply and return air connections to the appliance to insure the seals between the
duct and appliance and the appliance and home are intact. Check the ducts for any signs of
collapse, holes, or excessive corrosion. Repair or replace components as required.
