Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE - Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur-
nace during cleaning.
Cleaning the heat exchanger requires a steel spring
"snake," a reversible drill and a vacuum cleaner, The steel
spring snake may be constructed by purchasing a 4 ft. long
by 1/4 inch diameter steel wire cable and a 1/4 inch diame-
ter wire brush, These items are available at a hardware
store. Insert wire end of brush into the open end of the
spring cable. Crimp the cable around the brush so that the
brush is secured and will not come off during cleaning, At-
tach the other end of the cable to the reversible drill to com-
plete the tool for cleaning the heat exchanger.
1 - Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur-
nace.
2 - Remove flue pipe and top cap from the unit. Label the
pressure switch wires, then disconnect them.
3 - Remove the four screws that secure the combustion air
inducer. Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to
avoid damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it
must be replaced to prevent leakage. See figure 30.
