User’s Information
3.IGNITER – This unit has a special hot surface direct ignition device that automatically lights the burners. Please note that it is very fragile and should be handled with care.
▲! CAUTION
Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot.
4.BURNER – Gas burners do not normally require scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed igni- tion. 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 conden- sate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain freely water damage could occur. Furnace drain should also be checked & 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 tempera- tures by avoiding temperature stratification throughout the conditioned area. To accomplish constant air circulation, set your thermostat fan switch to “ON”.
▲! WARNING
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shut- ting off the electrical supply.
In the event that electrical, fuel or mechanical failures occur, the owner should immediately turn off the gas supply at the manual gas valve located in the burner compartment and electrical power to the furnace and contact servicer.
