variety of commercial and household products.
3. Return Air Supply
!
WARNING:
In applications where the supply ducts carry
heated air to areas outside the space in which
the furnace is installed, the return air must be
delivered to the furnace by duct(s) sealed to the
furnace casing. These duct(s) must be full size
and without interruption in the spaces outside of
where the furnace is installed.
Failure to prevent products of com-
bustionfrombeingcirculatedintothe
living space can create potentially
hazardous conditions including car-
bon monoxide poisoning that could
result in personal injury or death.
The return air duct connection(s) must be
physically sound and sealed to the furnace
casing to prevent products of combustion from
entering the living space.
4. Vent System
The furnace must always be connected to an
approved vent pipe to carry the furnace
combustion products outdoors. At the beginning
and end of each heating season, inspect the
outdoor vent terminal closely with a flashlight to
determine if any of the conditions listed under
the following warning exist.
The floor or platform on which the furnace is
mounted must provide sound physical support
of the furnace with no gaps, cracks, or sagging
between the furnace and floor or platform. The
return air and circulating air ductwork must not

5. Maintenance
Propermaintenanceismostimportanttoachieve
the best performance from this furnace and
should be performed by a qualified service
technician. Follow the maintenance schedule
(see Table 1) and the following instructions for
years of safe, trouble free operation.
Blower Compartment — The blower
compartment should be cleaned monthly during
the heating and cooling seasons to remove any
dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the
compartment or on the blower and motor. Build-
up of dirt and lint on the blower and motor can
create excessive loads on the motor resulting in
higher than normal operating temperatures and
possible shortened service life.

Burner Maintenance — Check the burner
flames at the start of every heating season. Set
the thermostat to a temperature setting above
the room temperature. Remove the top door
from the furnace and visually inspect the burner
through the view hole to make sure that the
flame is drawn into the center of the heat
exchanger tube (See Figure 5). In a properly
adjusted burner assembly, the flame bends
down and to the right at the end of the heat
exchanger tube, and the end of the flame will be
out of sight around the bend. The flame color
shouldbeblue,howeversomelightyellowstreaks
may occur on the outer portions of the flame.

Burner Maintenance (NOx), If the second or
eighth character of the model number is an “N”
the furnace has factory installed NOx reduction
inserts. The inserts reduce the NOx emissions
of the furnace. The NOx reduction inserts are
located in the first pass of the top portion of the
heat exchanger. When the burners are
operating, the flame should extend through the
center of the NOx reduction inserts. The flame
color should be blue, however some light yellow
streaks may occur on the outer portions of the
flame.
These furnaces are equipped with roll-out limit
switch(s), a vent safety switch, and a pressure
switch(SeeFigures1, 2, 3and4). Thepressure
switch verifies that the flame is receiving
combustion air. If the flame is not drawn into the
heat exchanger tube, the roll out limit switch or
flame sensor, will shut the furnace down.
The vent safety switch shuts the furnace down
if the vent becomes blocked or restricted.
Inspect the burners, mounting brackets, and all
other parts in the vestibule for signs of
deterioration. The burner vestibule should be
vacuumed clean and inspected annually.
Furnace Fails To Operate — If the furnace
does not operate, check the following:
1) Is the thermostat operating properly?
2) Are the blower door(s) in place?
3) Is the furnace disconnect closed?
4) Has the circuit breaker tripped (or fuse
blown)?
!
CAUTION:
Do not strike any of the internal
electrical components while
vacuuming.
5) Is the gas turned on?
6) Is the filter dirty or plugged?
