Regular Dealer Maintenance
4.BURNER – Gas burners do not normally require scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed ignition. Either condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.
Turn off gas and electric power supply. To clean burners, remove top burner bracket and lift burner from orifice.
NOTE: Be careful not to break igniter when removing burners.
Clean burners with brush and/ or vacuum cleaner. Reassemble parts by reversal of the above procedure.
NOTE: On LP (propane) units, some light yellow tipping of the outer mantle is normal. Inner mantle should be bright blue. Natural gas units should not have any yellow tipped flames. This condition indicates that a service call is required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: On LP (propane) units, due to variations in BTU content and altitude, servicing may be required at shorter intervals.
5.HEAT EXCHANGER / FLUE PIPE – These items must be inspected for signs of corrosion, and/ or deterioration at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician and cleaned annually for best operation.
6.CIRCUIT PROTECTION – If blower or gas valve fail to operate, the cause could be the circuit breaker or a loose or blown fuse. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
7.OPERATION – Your warm air furnace should not be operated in a corrosive atmosphere. Paint solvents, cleaning chemicals, spray propellants, and bleaches should not be used in the vicinity of the furnace during normal operation.
8.CONDENSATE DRAINS – If you have a cooling coil installed with your furnace, condensate drains should be checked and cleaned periodically to assure that condensate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely water damage could occur. Furnace drain should also be checked and cleaned at the start of each heating season.
9.AIR CIRCULATION – To ensure increased comfort, the blower on this unit may be operated continuously for both heating and cooling. This will result in constantly filtered air and aid in maintaining more even temperatures by avoiding temperature stratification throughout the conditioned area. To accomplish constant air circulation, set your comfort control fan selector to “ON.” Continuous fan mode during COOLING operation may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan only be used in the “AUTO” mode.
