Service

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,

OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.

Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage.

Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera- tion, serious injury, death, or property damage. Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.

When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis- connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly. Verify proper operation after servicing.

At the beginning of each heating season, a licensed profes- sional technician (or equivalent) should check the system as follows:

Blower

Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary. The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing life. No further lubrication is needed.

WARNING

The blower access panel must be securely in place when the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju- ry or death.

Filters

All SL280DFV filters are installed external to the unit. Fil- ters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the fil- ters when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high veloc- ity airflow. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.

Flue And Chimney

1 − Check flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight- ness and to make sure there is no blockage.

2 − Check unit for proper draft.

Electrical

1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.

2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.

3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow- er access panel in place.

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners

NOTE − Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur- nace during cleaning.

1 − Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur- nace.

2 − Remove flue pipe, top cap, flue chase and internal flue pipe assembly from the unit.

3 − Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima- ry limit switch and make−up box then disconnect them.

4 − Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in- ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box. Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to prevent leakage.

5 − Remove the collector box located behind the combus- tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas- ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to prevent leakage.

6 − Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the screw se- curing the burner box cover and remove cover. Re- move the four screws securing the burner manifold as- sembly to the vestibule panel and remove the assembly from the unit.

7 − Remove screws securing burner box and remove burner box.

8 − Remove screws from both sides, top and bottom of vestibule panel.

9 − Remove heat exchanger. It may be necessary to spread cabinet side to allow more room. If so, remove five screws from the left side or right side of cabinet. See figure 31.

10− Back wash using steam. Begin from the burner opening on each clam. Steam must not exceed 275°F.

11− To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in- side the burners and crossovers for any blockage caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure 30 shows burner detail.
