*Factory-provided with the furnace. Filters may be field modified by cutting filter material and support rods (3) in filters. Alternate sizes and additional fil- ters may be ordered from your dealer.

Upflow only.

!CAUTION

Use care when cutting support rods in filters to protect against flying pieces and sharp rod ends. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and appropri- ate protective clothing. Failure to follow this caution could re- sult in personal injury.

COMBUSTION AREA AND VENT SYSTEM

Visually inspect the combustion area and vent system before each heating season. Make sure that all PVC pipes leading into the combustion area and vent are free from any cracks and sags.

!DANGER

If holes are found in the pipes or if any portion has become disconnected, toxic fumes can escape into your home.

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR FURNACE. Call your dealer for service. Failure to follow this warning could result in per- sonal injury or death.

Also check the combustion-air intake and vent pipes on the outside of your home for blockage.

When dirt, soot, scale, or rust is allowed to build up, your furnace can suffer a loss of efficiency and perform improperly. Accumulations on the main burners can result in firing out of normal sequence. This delayed igni- tion creates an alarmingly loud sound.

!CAUTION

If your furnace makes an espe- cially loud noise when the main burners light, shut down your furnace and call your dealer. Failure to follow this caution would result in minor property damage.

To inspect the combustion area and vent system, you will need a flashlight. Refer to Fig. 3 or 4, and proceed as follows:

1.Turn off gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and remove

the main furnace door. (See Fig. 9, 10, and 11.)

2.Remove burner enclosure front. (See Fig. 37 or 38.)

Inspect the gas burners, igniter

area, and remainder of furnace for dirt, rust, soot, or scale.

!CAUTION

If dirt, rust, soot, or scale accu- mulations are found, call your dealer. Do not operate your furnace. Failure to follow this caution would result in minor property or product damage.

3.Inspect the combustion-air and vent PVC pipes for sags, holes, cracks, or disconnections. Hori- zontal portions of pipes must slope downward toward furnace.

4.Reinstall burner enclosure front.

5.If your furnace is free of the above conditions, replace main furnace door and turn on electrical and gas supplies to your furnace.

(See Fig. 16, 17, and 18.)

6.Start the furnace and observe its operation. Watch the burner flames to see if they are clear blue, almost transparent. (See Fig. 39.) If you observe a suspected malfunction, or the burner flames are not clear blue, call your dealer.

HEADING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER?

DON’T FORGET YOUR

FURNACE!

!CAUTION

If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the ambient temperatures may be 32°F or lower, freeze protec- tion measures must be taken to prevent minor property or product damage.

Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some water will accu- mulate in the unit as a result of the heat

With a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of up to 18, this model ensures that homeowners can enjoy effective cooling during the summer months while minimizing energy consumption. Similarly, the heating efficiency is notable, with a high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. This makes the 340MAV an environmentally friendly option that also promotes cost savings on energy bills.

The 340MAV incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance. One such technology is the variable-speed compressor, which allows the system to adjust its output based on the demands of the home. This means that the unit operates more quietly and reduces energy usage by matching the cooling or heating output required. Additionally, the two-stage heating capability provides more consistent temperatures and improved comfort throughout the space.

Operating noise is a crucial factor in residential HVAC systems, and the Bryant 340MAV is designed with this in mind. Engineered for quiet operation, the unit features a sound-dampening design, including an insulated cabinet and a specially designed compressor that minimizes noise levels. Homeowners can enjoy a comfortable indoor climate without the disruptive racket often associated with traditional systems.

Furthermore, the Bryant 340MAV is equipped with a durable all-aluminum coil, which improves heat transfer efficiency while also being resistant to corrosion. This characteristic contributes to the longevity of the unit, ensuring that it can withstand various environmental factors without compromising performance.

Another key feature is the advanced control options that the Bryant 340MAV offers. Integration with smart thermostats allows homeowners to monitor and adjust their HVAC system remotely, ensuring optimal comfort at all times. Additionally, the system is compatible with Bryant's Perfect Airâ„¢ filtration system, enhancing indoor air quality by reducing pollutants and allergens.

In summary, the Bryant 340MAV is a high-efficiency heating and cooling solution that brings together cutting-edge technology, quiet operation, and user-friendly features.
