!WARNING:

Do not obstruct any return air open- ings, including the grille on the fur- nace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high limit and shut down, or it may cause asphyxiation.

18. MAINTENANCE

By Homeowner

1.Return Air - On some closet installations the return air opening to the furnace may be on the floor, on the door, on the side wall of the closet, or some combination of these. The upper grille on the front of the furnace admits return air to the blower. Return air must be provided back to the circulating blower in order to provide air distribution.

2.Filters - At least twice each season (more often in dusty areas) remove and clean the air filters with a vacuum or with warm water and soap. Reinstall when dry. Also clean dust and lint around furnace and in the fur- nace vestibule. (Figure 35.)

3.Seasonal Service Information - During ex- tremely cold weather, ice may form on the furnace roof jack. Small amounts of ice form- ing on the roof jack will present no problems to proper furnace operation. Excessive ice formation could restrict the combustion air supply to the burner, causing inefficient burner operation. If excessive ice has formed on the air inlet or exhaust portions of the roof jack, it must be carefully removed (Figure 36).

By Serviceman

All furnaces need periodic service at the begin- ning of each heating season. Call your service- man to:

a. Remove the air circulator and clean all dust and lint from the unit with a stiff bristle brush. b. Inspect the combustion chamber blower

compartment, flue collar and Roof Jack. c. Check the gas valve (if applicable) and fuel

line connections for leaks.

d. Make any adjustments necessary for good operation.

!WARNING:

Use of furnace or air conditioning com- ponents that are not included in the certification of this appliance may cre- ate a hazard, invalidate the certifica- tion, and in many states, make instal- lations illegal. Listed NORDYNE air conditioning components are speci- fied on the furnace label.

ADDITIONAL OIL

FURNACE MAINTENANCE

In addition to the preceding, the following should be performed by a qualified service contractor at least once each season for oil-fired furnaces: a. Replace the oil nozzle with the type nozzle

specified for your furnace.

b. Clean, adjust and replace if necessary the spark electrodes.

c. Reset the nozzle/drawer assembly to fac- tory specifications.

d. Clean the inside of the furnace heat ex- changer and replace the combustion liner if necessary.

e.Clean or replace the oil filter element at the oil tank.

f.Adjust the burner for top efficiency and check to make sure all fittings are leak-tight.

19. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Necessary when the Furnace is Used with Some Central Air Conditioners

If an air conditioner is installed that does not use the furnace blower for air distribution and that operates independently of the furnace, the thermostat system must have an interlock to prevent the furnace and air conditioner from operating at the same time. This interlock sys- tem usually contains either a “Heat-Cool” switch which must be turned to the “Heat” or “Cool” position to activate either heating or cooling operation, or a positive “OFF” switch on the cooling thermostat.

Nordyne, a renowned player in the HVAC industry, has introduced a range of high-efficiency gas furnaces, including the M1S, M1G, M1B, and M1M models. Each of these furnaces is designed to provide efficient heating solutions tailored to the needs of homeowners.

The M1S series is well-known for its reliability and performance. It features a single-stage heating process that delivers consistent warmth to any space. With its multi-speed blower, the M1S ensures quiet and comfortable airflow, adapting seamlessly to varying temperature demands. Its robust construction coupled with an energy-efficient design makes it an ideal choice for those looking for dependable heating without sky-high utility bills.

The M1G model steps it up with a two-stage heating system that offers enhanced comfort and efficiency. By operating at a lower speed during milder conditions, the M1G can effectively reduce energy consumption while still maintaining a cozy environment. It is equipped with a variable-speed blower that not only enhances efficiency but also minimizes noise, making it perfect for residential areas. The M1G is designed with advanced safety features, including an integrated control board that monitors furnace functions to ensure optimal performance.

For those seeking a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality, the M1B model provides a solid performance with its straightforward, reliable single-stage heating. While it may lack some of the advanced features found in higher-end models, the M1B is built for ease of use with straightforward controls and maintenance, making it a great option for families.

The M1M model integrates cutting-edge technology with a focus on maximum efficiency. Featuring a modulating gas valve, this model can adjust its output based on real-time heating requirements. This adaptability ensures that the furnace operates at peak efficiency, significantly lowering energy bills and improving overall comfort. The M1M also boasts advanced diagnostic capabilities that allow for easy troubleshooting, thus reducing maintenance time and costs.

In summary, Nordyne's M1 series furnaces—M1S, M1G, M1B, and M1M—offer a range of options to meet diverse heating needs. With technologies designed for efficiency, reliability, and comfort, Nordyne continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in the HVAC market, providing homeowners with effective heating solutions tailored to their lifestyles and budgets.
