CLEANING (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)

1. Shut off electric power and gas supply to the furnace.

2. Remove screws securing manifold to burner bracket. Slightly pull manifold out and away from burner bracket. Burners will drop. Re-secure manifold to burner bracket.

3. Tilt burners to slotted side of burner bracket. Rotate burners clockwise to remove.

4. Use bottle brush to clean burner insert and inside of burner.

5. Replace burner (opposite of removal). Ensure burners are fully seated on burner bracket tabs and are properly aligned.

6. Turn on electric power and gas supply to the furnace.

7. Check furnace for proper operation. Refer to “Operational Checks” section to verify burner flame characteristics.

XVII. BEFORE LEAVING AN INSTALLATION

UPRIGHT FILTER REMOVAL

To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack kit.

Clean, wash and dry a permanent filter. When using a metal filter, both sides should be sprayed with a dust adhesive as recommended on adhesive container. Spray adhesives for use with permanent metal filters can be found at some hardware stores. BE SURE AIRFLOW DIRECTION ARROW POINTS TOWARDS THE BLOWER.

Inspect filter. If your dirty filter is the disposable type, replace dirty with the same type and size filter. If your dirty filter is a permanent metal filter, clean as follows:

•Wash, rinse, and dry the permanent filters. Both sides should then be sprayed with a filter adhesive as is recommended on the adhesive container. Many hardware stores stock spray adhesives for use with permanent filters.

•If badly torn or uncleanable, these filters must be replaced by equal size permanent, high velocity filters. Throwaway filters must not be used as replacement for permanent filters. Under normal use, permanent filters should last for several years.

INDUCED DRAFT AND CIRCULATOR BLOWER MOTORS

The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary.

FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be as indicated in the Specifications Sheet.

IGNITER (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)

If the igniter and the surrounding air are at about 70°F and the igniter wires are not connected to any other electrical components, the resistance of the igniter should not exceed 200 ohms. If it does, the igniter should be replaced.

WARNING

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, DO NOT REMOVE ANY INTERNAL COMPARTMENT COVERS OR ATTEMPT ANY ADJUSTMENT. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE CONTAINED IN BOTH COMPARTMENTS. CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT AT ONCE IF AN ABNORMAL FLAME APPEARANCE SHOULD DEVELOP.

Periodically during the heating season make a visual check of the burner flames. Turn the furnace on at the thermostat. Wait a few minutes, since any dislodged dust will alter the normal flame appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft and blue with slightly orange tips. They should not be yellow. They should extend directly outward from the burner ports without curling downward, floating or lifting off the ports.
