WARNING: Iftheinformationinthismanualis
not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal in-
jury or loss of life.
There must be a free flow of fresh air sufficient for efficient
combustion and safe ventilation of your furnace. Do not
allow the louvers on the front panels of your furnace to
become blocked as this will restrict the flow of fresh air.
— Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The combustion air for your furnace must be fresh uncon-
taminatedair. Paints,varnishes,laundrybleaches,deter-
gents, many household cleaners, water softening salts,
adhesives, and all such products release fumes containing
compounds which could lead to early heat exchanger and
vent system deterioration. Do not store these type of
products near your furnace and consider fresh air for your
furnace during construction or remodeling.
— WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
•
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch;
do not use any phone in your build-
ing.
Neverstoregasoline,combustiblematerials,orother
flammable liquids or vapors near your furnace.
If you have a problem, check the "Problem Solver" section
of this manual before you call for a possibly unneeded
service call.
•
•
Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas sup-
plier, call the fire department.
Parts and controls of this furnace are unique. Should
service or modification be required, be sure your servicer
uses only factory authorized parts, kits, or accessories for
this furnace.
— Installation and service must be per-
formed by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous op-
eration.

A furnace is not a household appliance. It is complex and
requires professional maintenance and repair.
of your furnace should be made by a qualified service agency at
the start of each heating season.
That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-war-
ranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.
Keep your furnace looking like new for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with ordinary soap and
water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent.
Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the
finish.
Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended
in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjust-
ments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take care of
any questions or problems you may have. A periodic inspection

Maintenance information.
Never stop the cooling system by shutting off the main
power.
If the main power to your air conditioner is ever disconnected for
more than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then wait for at
least three more hours after the power has been restored before
turning the thermostat back on. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in damage to your air conditioning system.
1. GENERAL INSPECTION - Examine the furnace installation
for the following items:
a. All flue product carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e.
chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstruction.
b. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is
physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
c. The return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the space
containing the furnace.
d. The physical support of the furnace should be sound
without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around the base so as to
provide a seal between the support and the base.
NOTE: On LP (propane) units, due to variations in BTU content
and altitude, servicing may be required at shorter intervals.
e. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
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 techni-
cian 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,
spraypropellants, andbleachesshouldnotbeusedinthevicinity
of the furnace during normal operation.
2. BLOWERS - The blower size and speed determine the air
volume delivered by the furnace. The blower motor bearings are
factory lubricated and under normal operating conditions usu-
ally do not require servicing. Annual cleaning of the blower
wheel and housing is recommended for maximum air output,
andthismustbeperformedonlybyaqualifiedservicerorservice
agency.
8. COOLING COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN - If you have a
coolingcoilinstalledwithyourfurnace,condensatedrainsshould
be checked and cleaned periodically to assure that condensate
can drain freely from coil to drain. If condensate cannot drain
freely water damage could occur.
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.
9. AIR CIRCULATION - To ensure increased comfort, 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 temperatures by avoiding temperature
stratification throughout the conditioned area. To accomplish
constant air circulation, set your thermostat fan switch to "ON".
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 ignition. 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 opera-
tion,burnersmustbecleanedannuallyusingbrushesandvacuum
cleaner.

WARNING:
MANUAL MAIN
SHUTOFF VALVE
Unit is equipped with a blower door switch which cuts power to
blower and gas valve causing shutdown when door is removed.
Unit must not be altered to allow operation with the blower door
removed. Operation with doors removed or ajar can permit the
escape of dangerous fumes. All panels must be securely closed at
all times for safe operation of the furnace.
WARNING:
GROUND
UNION JOINT
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut
off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the
electrical supply.
In the event that electrical, fuel or mechanical failures occur, the
owner should immediately turn off the gas supply at the manual
gas valve located in the burner compartment and electrical
power to the furnace and contact servicer.

instructions on the front cover of this book. If you don’t smell gas,
go to next step.
CAUTION: If this is done during the cold weather months,
provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes
and water receptacles.
Whenever your house is to be vacant, arrange to have someone
inspect your house for proper temperature. If your furnace
should fail to operate, damage could result, such as frozen water
pipes.
