HOW YOUR GAS
FURNACE WORKS
Your furnace is a very easy appliance to take for granted. Season
after season, it sits there in your
home, keeping you warm and comfortable. For this reason, you may
never have given muc h thought to
the way your furnace operates. In
order to get the safest and most
efficient operation from your furnace, though, you should understand how your furnace does its
job.
When you set your thermostat to
provide more heat in your home,
you are starting the heating cycle of
the furnace. First, the inducer
motor starts to purge the heat
exchanger of any remaining gasses. Next, the hot surface ignitor
glows and after a warm --up period
the gas valve opens and ignition
occurs. A short time later the
blower starts and distributes the
warm air throughout the home.
When the temperature set on your
thermostat is reached, the gas
valve closes, the main bur ners are
turned off, and the blower continues to run until the remaining warm
air in the system is distributed.
When the blower stops, the heating
cycle has ended.
KEEP THE FURNACE
AREA CLEAR
NEVER . . . use the area around
your furnace as a storage area for
items which could block the normal
flow of air. This flow of air is
required for ventilation of the various furnace components.
WARNING
Do not block or obstruct
air openings:
1. On the furnace.
2. Air openings communicating
with the air in which the furnace is installed.
3. The spacings around the furnace.
NEVER. . . store flammable mater i-
als of any kind near your furnace.
Gasoline, solvents, an d other volatile liquids shou ld be stored only in
approved containers outside your
home. These materials vaporize
easily and are extremely dangerous.
NEVER. . . store cleaning materials
near your furnace. Materials such
as bleaches, detergents, powde red
cleansers, etc., can cause corrosion of the heat exchangers.
WARNING
Insulating materials may
be flammable.
When a furnace is
installed in an attic or
other insul ated s p ac e, or if
insulation is added, examine the furnace area to
ensure that the furnace is
kept clear and free of
insulation.

ing parts of the furnace, where they
could cause serious damage. It
also keeps the dirt from circulating
through your home.
As the filter continues to collect
these particles, it becomes clogged
and no longer allows enough air to
circulate through the furnace. If this
happens, the heat exchangers and
blower motor could overheat; a
potentially dangerous situation. It is
very important to keep the air filter
clean! Never operate your furnace
without a suitable air filter.
WARNING
When replacing filters DO
NOT use a type with
excessively high pressure
drop. Some high efficiency
filters available will cause
the furnace to operate
improperly and could re sult
in a safety hazard.

YOUR FURNACE'S
FILTER - WHAT IT
DOES
The filter in your fu rnace takes the
lint and dust out of the air that
passes through it. This keeps dirt
particles from getting into the mov-
FREQUENCY OF
CHECKING FILTERS
Clean or change your furnace's filter at least every three months. If
you need to replace a filter, replace
it with the same type or contact a
qualified service person.
If your home is new, you should
check the filter ev ery week for the
first four weeks after you begin to
use the furnace, and then at leas t
every three weeks after that, especially if the system runs constantly.

LOCATING/REMOVING
FILTERS
WARNING
Turn off ALL electrical power
to the furnace when conducting any service or inspection
procedure. Furnace may h ave
isolated electrical supplies one providing power to the
Circulating Blower (230V or
115V) and another supplying
the control circuit (115V) which
controls the Circulating
Blower. The spring loaded
safety cutoff switch, mounted
to the blower deck DOES NOT
interrupt ALL electrical potential in the blower compartmen t
when the blower access panel
is removed.
Filters are to be appl ied externa l to
the furnace cabinet and are typically installed in return-air ducting.
Return-air duct(s) may consist of
either bottom only, or bottom and
one side. Single-side or Dual-side
returns are NOT ALLOWED.
NOTE: Some installations may
have more than one return duct
and each duct may have more than
one filter.
Clean or replace al l filter s in acco rdance with the recommendations
above. Replace any filter with the
same type filter and consult a qua lified service person if filter substitution is necessary. When servicing
the filter(s) observ e direction o f airflow on reassembly. Filters should
completely cover the sheet metal
opening of the ductwork to be
effective. Filters should not shift
collapse or dislodge from the
installed position during operation.

INSTALLATION &
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
YORK strongly rec ommends regular periodic preventative maintenance on this equipment.
In order to ensure safe, reliable
operation and long product l ife, it
is recommended that the entire
heating system be inspected
annually by a qualified service
person.
The person most familiar with the
equipment in your system is a
YORK dealer. The YORK dealer
can ensure your ma intenance program meets the conditions of the
ìYORK Warrantyî, maximize the
efficiency of the equipment, and
service your unit within the mandated guidelines with regard to
unlawful discharge of refrigerants.

to see that they are clear and free
of obstructions and without holes or
corrosion. Make sure the horizontal
run of the vent system slopes
upward and all of the con nections
are secure. Make sure the return
air duct connections are physic ally
sound and sealed to the furnace
casing. Make sure no sagging,
cracks, gaps, etc. exist around the
base of the furnace.
Routine periodic maintenance
checks should be done on your furnace at least every time you check
