Steps for Starting Your Furnace

!DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD HIGH VOLT- AGE AT IGNITER.

Severe electrical shock, personal injury, or death could result.

•If a suspected malfunction occurs with your oil control system, such as the burner not lighting when it should, refer to the “Shutting Down Your Furnace” section and call your dealer as soon as possible.

CHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your furnace, be sure the furnace air ﬁlter is clean and in place. See “ Performing Routine Maintenance” sec- tion in this manual. Then proceed as follows:

1.Open all warm air registers and make sure that all return-air grills are unobstructed.

2.If a humidiﬁer is installed with your system, open water supply valve.

3.Make sure blower access door is secured in place.

4.Set your room thermostat to lowest temperature set- ting. (See Fig. 5.)

5.Turn on electric power to furnace. (See Fig. 6.)

6.Open oil supply valve. (See Fig. 7.)

7.Check all connections to ensure there are no leaks.

8.Set room thermostat to a temperature slightly above room temperature. This will automatically signal the furnace to start.

9.When the thermostat calls for heat, power from the transformer energizes the fan control board. The fan control energizes the ignition control. The igni- tion control will automatically light the burner.

The electronic fan control automatically turns on the blower. The air moved over the heat exchanger by the blower is warmed and passes through the ducts to the room registers.

This unit is equipped with continuous ignition control. If the main burner does not ignite within 30 sec from the call for heat, the control will lock out. The red button on top of the control must be depressed for 3 sec in order to reset the control. The control CANNOT be reset from the room thermostat.

10.Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisﬁes your comfort requirements.

SUGGESTION: Setting the thermostat back a few degrees and compensating for the difference with warmer clothing can make a big difference in your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. The few degrees at the top of your thermostat “comfort level” are the most costly degrees to obtain.

When room temperature drops below temperature selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be switched on automatically. When room tempera- ture reaches the degree selected on thermostat, the furnace will be switched off automatically.

Some thermostats have a FAN mode with 2 selec- tions, AUTO and ON. When thermostat is set to AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, con- trolled by the thermostat. In ON mode, the furnace blower runs continuously. This keeps the tempera- ture level in your home more evenly balanced. It also continuously ﬁlters indoor air.

58VMR specifications

The Carrier 58VMR is a top-tier gas furnace that exemplifies high efficiency and innovative technology. Designed for residential applications, it delivers exceptional heating performance while optimizing energy usage. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 97%, the 58VMR stands as one of the most efficient options available in the market today.

One of the defining features of the Carrier 58VMR is its variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to operate at different speeds, adjusting airflow based on the heating demand. Consequently, this leads to enhanced comfort levels in the home, as the system can more precisely maintain temperature without the hot and cold fluctuations commonly associated with single-stage systems.

Another notable characteristic of the 58VMR is its two-stage heating capability. This means the furnace can run at a lower stage during milder weather conditions, which not only saves energy but also reduces noise levels, making it operate quietly. On colder days, the furnace automatically switches to the higher stage, ensuring that the home remains warm and comfortable.

The Carrier 58VMR also features advanced diagnostics, which simplifies maintenance and service. Its integrated control board can detect issues quickly and provide error codes to technicians, allowing for faster and more efficient repairs. This proactive approach to maintenance enhances the reliability and longevity of the system.

In addition to its mechanical features, the Carrier 58VMR is designed with a fully insulated cabinet that minimizes heat loss and ensures quiet operation. This level of insulation contributes to the overall efficiency of the system, allowing it to retain more heat and reduce energy consumption.

For homeowners concerned about environmental impact, the 58VMR is compatible with Carrier's EcoBlue technology, which further improves efficiency through advanced combustion processes. This technology ensures that the furnace operates with lower emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

In conclusion, the Carrier 58VMR gas furnace combines high efficiency, advanced technology, and comfort-enhancing features. With its variable-speed blower, two-stage heating, and ease of maintenance, the 58VMR is well-suited to meet the demands of modern homes. Its commitment to efficiency and environmental responsibility makes it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to improve their heating system.
