The ability to properly perform maintenance on this equip-
ment requires certain expertise, mechanical skills, tools, and
equipment. If you do not possess these, do not attempt to
perform any maintenance on this equipment other than those
procedures recommended in the User’s Manual. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THIS EQUIPMENT, SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
Never store anything on, near, or in contact with the furnace,
such as:
1. Spray or aerosol cans, rags, brooms, dust mops, vacuum
cleaners, or other cleaning tools.
2. Soap powders, bleaches, waxes or other cleaning com-
pounds, plastic or plastic containers, gasoline, kerosene,
cigarette lighter fluid, dry cleaning fluids, or other volatile
fluids.
3. Paint thinners and other painting compounds, paper bags,
or other paper products.
Failure to follow this warning can cause corrosion of the heat
exchanger, fire, personal injury, or death.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH THE
CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CON-
TROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELEC-
TROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded
objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching
control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge
your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect the
control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a
furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the control
or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all used AND
new controls into containers before touching ungrounded
objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may
also be used to prevent ESD damage.
GENERAL
These instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an
upflow application. An upflow furnace application is where the
blower is located below the combustion and controls section of the
furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since this
furnace can be installed in any of the 4 positions shown in Fig. 2,
you may need to revise your orientation to component location
accordingly.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For continuing high performance and to minimize possible equip-
ment failure, it is essential that maintenance be performed annually
on this equipment. Consult your local dealer for maintenance and
maintenance contract availability.
Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the unit before
performing any maintenance or service. Follow the operating
instructions on the label attached to the furnace. Failure to
follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The minimum maintenance that should be performed on this
equipment is as follows:
1. Check and clean or replace air filter each month as required.
2. Check blower motor and wheel for cleanliness annually.
3. Check electrical connections for tightness and controls for
proper operation each heating season. Service as necessary.
4. Check for proper condensate drainage. Clean as necessary.
5. Check for blockages in combustion-air and vent pipes annu-
ally.
6. Check burners for cleanliness annually.
Personal injury could result from sharp metal edges, etc. Use
care when removing parts.
