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 much thought to the way
your furnace operates. In order to get the safest and most efficient operation from your furnace, 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 gases. 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 setting on your thermostat is reached, the gas valve closes, the main
burners 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.
START-UP AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Instructions Below Before Trying to Start the
Furnace

FURNACE USER MAINTENANCE
Before proceeding, be sure the area is well ventilated. Turn
the thermostat OFF. If the blower is running, wait until it
stops automatically. Turn OFF the gas and electrical power
supplies to the furnace. Check all metal parts and surfaces
to be sure they have cooled to room temperature before
you begin.
Every time the filters are changed the following items should be visually
inspected:
• Check combustion air and vent pipe for blockage or leakage.
• Check all components to be sure they are in good condition and
that there are no obvious signs of deterioration.
• Check the drain lines to make sure there are no cracks or leaks.
• Check for dirt or lint on any surfaces or on components. Do not try
to clean any of the surfaces or components. Cleaning of the furnace and its components must be done by a qualified service professional.
If, during the inspection of your furnace, you find any of the following
conditions:
• Excessive amounts of dust and lint on components.
• Damaged or deteriorated components or surfaces.
• Leaks or blockage in the vent pipe passages.
• Water on any surface inside or outside of the furnace.
Do not operate the furnace, call a certified dealer / servicing contractor
to check and / or clean your furnace, or for more information if you have
questions about the operation of your furnace.
If all components appear to be in good operating condition, replace the
front panels. Turn ON the gas and electrical power supplies to the furnace, and set thermostat to the desired temperature.
SECTION II: SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL
2. The furnace vent and combustion air intake passageways. Should
it be necessary to service the vent/air intake system, the manufacturer recommends this service be conducted by a qualified service
agency. The operation of this appliance requires the reassembly
and resealing of the vent/air intake system.
3. The furnace burners, ignitor and flame sensor.
4. The condensate collection and disposal system. If any disassembly of components containing flue or vent gases is required, a
qualified service agency must perform the service.
Air Filters
The filters should be checked every 3 months. On new construction,
check the filters every week for the first four weeks and every three
weeks after that, especially if the indoor fan is running continuously.
When replacing the filter(s), refer to Table 1 to be sure you install the
right size filter for your furnace. Dirty filters greatly restrict the flow of air
and may cause damage to the moving parts of the furnace. If the filters
become clogged the heat exchangers and blower motor could overheat
resulting in a potentially dangerous situation.
Never operate your furnace without a suitable air filter.
Removing Filters
Internally Mounted Air Filters
Most upflow furnaces have their filters located on the side or bottom of
the furnace in a filter wire retainer located inside the blower compartment. To check filters located in the blower compartment:
1. Remove the upper furnace door by lifting up. Pull out bottom of
door and lower from furnace.
2. Remove the blower compartment panel by lifting up.
3. The filters will be located on the bottom or the one of the sides. To
remove bottom-mounted or side mounted filter (s) on all furnaces,
push the looped end of the filter retainer rod in, and then move
away from the filter.
4. Reverse the procedure to reinstall filters.
