User’s Information
3. IGNITER – This unit has a special hot surface direct
ignition device that automatically lights the burners.
Please note that it is very fragile and should be handled
with care.
▲
CAUTION
!
Do not touch igniter. It is extremely hot.
4. BURNER – Gas burners do not normally require
scheduled servicing, however, accumulation of foreign
material may cause a yellowing flame or delayed igni-
tion. Either condition indicates that a service call is
required. For best operation, burners must be cleaned
annually using brushes and vacuum cleaner.
Turn off gas and electric power supply. To clean burners,
remove top burner bracket and lift burner from orifice.
NOTE:
Be careful not to break igniter when removing burners.
Clean burners with brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
Reassemble parts by reversal of the above procedure.
NOTE: On LP (propane) units, some light yellow tipping of
the outer mantle is normal. Inner mantle should be bright
blue.
Natural gas units should not have any yellow tipped flames.
This condition indicates that a service call is required. For
best operation, burners must be cleaned annually using
brushes and vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: On LP (propane) units, due to variations in BTU
content and altitude, servicing may be required at shorter
intervals.
5. HEAT EXCHANGER / FLUE PIPE – These items
must be inspected for signs of corrosion, and/or
deterioration at the beginning of each heating season
by a qualified service technician and cleaned annually
for best operation.
6. CIRCUIT PROTECTION – If blower or gas valve fail to
operate, the cause could be the circuit breaker or a loose
or blown fuse. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
7. OPERATION – Your warm air furnace should not be
operated in a corrosive atmosphere. Paint solvents,
cleaning chemicals, spray propellants, and bleaches
should not be used in the vicinity of the furnace during
normal operation.
8. CONDENSATE DRAINS – If you have a cooling coil
installed with your furnace, condensate drains should be
checked and cleaned periodically to assure that conden-
sate can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate
cannot drain freely water damage could occur. Furnace
drain should also be checked & cleaned at the start of
each heating season.
9. AIR CIRCULATION – To ensure increased comfort, the
blower on this unit may be operated continuously for
both heating and cooling. This will result in constantly
filtered air and aid in maintaining more even tempera-
tures by avoiding temperature stratification throughout
the conditioned area. To accomplish constant air
circulation, set your thermostat fan switch to “ON”.
