Seasonal Inspections

A qualified service technician should inspect the com. plete system each season (heating and cooling). The fol. lowing maintenance procedures should be conducted by a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to service the unit in any way.

Venting System

Annually (before heating season) inspect furnace venting system, draft hood, vent cap, heat exchanger, and burners for corrosion, deterioration, or deposits of debris. Remove any obstructions.

Inspect furnace venting system to make sure it is in place, physically sound, and without holes, corrosion, or blockage. Vent connector must be in correct position, sloped upward and be physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.

Inspect furnace return air duct connection to ensure duct is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the space con. taining the furnace.

Inspect the physical support of the furnace to guarantee that it is sound without sagging, cracks or gaps around base and it maintains seal between base and support.

During a seasonal check the service technician will inspect the indoor blower and the burner flames along with the vent. ing system.

Blower

Check and clean blower wheel for any debris. Blower motor is pre-lubricated for extended bearing life. No further lubrica. tion is needed.

Burner Flame

Burner Flame

Start burner and allow to operate for a few minutes to es. tablish normal burning conditions. Check burner flame by observation. Flame should be predominantly blue and strong in appearance.

CAUTION

To ensure proper operation, a qualified technician should periodically check the burner flame.
