WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury and/or death.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, furnace
damage, or improper operation; carefully follow these safety
rules:
Carbon Monoxide is invisible, odorless, and toxic!
A
carbon monoxide alarm is recommended in your home,
even if you do not own a gas appliance. Locate the carbon
monoxide alarm in the living area of your home and away
from gas appliances and doorways to attached garages.
Follow the alarm manufacturer’s instruction included with
the alarm.
S Your gas furnace uses air from outside the home for combustion
and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not to be installed using
indoor air for combustion. The vent pipe must terminate outside
the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. The
air--intake pipe must terminate outside the structure or in a well
ventilated area that is isolated from the living space and the
garage (e.g. well ventilated attic or crawlspace). Do not block or
obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around furnace.
S Keep the area around your furnace clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water. A
flood--damaged furnace is extremely dangerous. Attempts to
use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. A qualified
service agency should be contacted to inspect the furnace
and to replace all gas controls, control system parts,
electrical parts that have been wet or the furnace if deemed
necessary.

form this test in the kitchen, cooking vapors may produce
inaccurate results.)
A good relative humidity is one just high enough to barely start
condensation along the lower edges or lower corners of the
windows, when it is cold outside. More than that can be damaging.
Thermostat
There are many types and styles of thermostats. Most thermostats
control both heating and cooling functions and have a Fan Switch
with AUTO and ON settings. On AUTO, the Circulating Air
Blower will cycle on/off with the furnace on the heating speed
unless a call for cooling is initiated. Blower speed will correspond
to the mode of operation of the furnace. If the Fan Switch is
positioned to ON the blower will run continuously.
If the humidity is too high, try these suggestions to lower the
humidity:
1. Reduce setting or discontinue use of humidifier.
In addition some thermostats are programmable with multiple set
backs. The set backs can be pre--programmed to lower or raise the
temperature automatically.
2. Use range and bathroom exhaust fans while cooking and
bathing. Open a door or window for a few minutes to bring
in cool drier air.
Be sure to become familiar with your thermostat.
3. Cook with pans covered.
Rating Plate
4. Take shorter baths or showers with cooler water.
5. Install a fresh air intake duct. Cold, dry air brought in from
outside to the furnace area lowers the indoor humidity level.
6. Have appliances checked. A malfunctioning appliance can
contribute water vapor to the structure.
7. If the problem continues, consult a heating contractor about
adding a heat recovery ventilator or air--to--air heat ex-
changer.
The rating plate contains important information for the service
technician and lists the complete model, manufacturing and serial
numbers. You should always provide all these numbers when
requesting parts or if you need service. See Fig. 2 for rating plate
location.
Door Interlock Switch
All the electrical power for the furnace goes through the door
interlock switch. The interlock switch interrupts electrical power to
the furnace when the blower door is removed. The furnace will not
operate until the blower door is reinstalled.
About Your Furnace
Fig. 2 shows the location of the components in the furnace.
Circulating Air Blower
Furnace Control
The furnace control provides power to the circulating air blower to
keep it on until the furnace cools down.
The fan off--delay setting can be adjusted if the fan remains on long
enough that cool drafts are felt in the room after the furnace shuts
off.
The blower circulates room air through the furnace, air ducts, and
into the rooms of the structure. The blower can be set at the
thermostat for automatic or manual operation. In manual mode the
blower operates continuously. In automatic, the blower does not
come on until a preset time after the gas valve is energized. When
the structure reaches the temperature set on the thermostat, the
furnace will shut off. The blower will continue to run until the
furnace cools down.

The off--delay is set by moving a jumper on the control. The
Wiring Diagram located on the inside of the blower door shows the
various delay combinations. Refer to Fig. 2 for location of the
control.
If you are unsure how to set the Off--delay Control, contact a
Qualified Service Agency.
Should overheating occur or the gas control valve fail to shut
off, shut off the manual equipment shutoff valve to the furnace
before shutting off the electrical supply.
Extended Shutdown
1. Set thermostat to lowest temperature setting or set thermo-
stat System Select Switch to OFF, if so equipped.
Set the room thermostat slightly above room temperature. This will
automatically signal the furnace to start. The inducer motor will
start, and the hot surface igniter will have an orange glow. After
about 32 seconds (from the call for heat at the thermostat), the gas
valve permits gas to flow to the main burners where it is ignited.
When the flame is firmly established, the igniter shuts off. Hot
flames begin to warm the furnace’s heat exchanger. After a time
delay of 30 seconds, the furnace blower is switched on.
NOTE: If the main burners fail to ignite, the furnace control
system will go through 3 more ignition cycles. Then, if burners fail
to ignite, the system will lockout. If lockout occurs, or the blower
doesn’t come on, shut down your furnace and call a Qualified
Service Agency for service.
2. Turn Manual Equipment Shutoff Valve for furnace to OFF
position (at right angle or 90_ to gas line).
3. Remove the burner compartment door by removing the two
(2) screws securing the door in front and lifting the door up
and outwards. Removing the door will expose the gas con-
trol valve knob.
4. Turn OFF electric power to the furnace at the disconnect
switch or circuit breaker. (May be left ON for set--back type
thermostat with batteries, provided thermostat has system
select switch placed in the OFF position.)
5. Turn the the gas control valve to the OFF position. See Fig.
3.
6. Reinstall all doors.
Pressure Switch
The furnace is equipped with one or more pressure switches to shut
down the furnace under various flue conditions. The switches are
connected to the furnace by factory supplied tubing.

Air Filters/Monthly
Fig. 3 -- Gas Control Valve
The air filter(s) should be inspected at least monthly and cleaned or
replaced as required. There are many types of filters that are
commonly used. Washable filters (constructed of aluminum mesh,
foam, or reinforced fibers) may be cleaned by soaking in mild
detergent and rinsing with water. The fiberglass disposable type
should be REPLACED before it becomes clogged. Other filter
types should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2. Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Instruct them to call a qualified service
agency to call to provide service, if required.
-- o r --
3. Install a reliable remote sensing device that will notify
somebody of freezing conditions within the home.
Remember that dirty filters are the most common cause of
inadequate heating or cooling performance.
Winter Shutdown (90+ Furnaces)
If you go away during the winter months and do not leave the heat
on in your home, the plastic transition box and the condensate trap
on the furnace must be protected from freeze damage. (See Fig. 2)
Replacement Filters
If the filter is not located at or within the furnace, it should be
located somewhere in the return--air duct system.
1. Disconnect the 1/2” I.D. rubber hose from the vent drain fit-
ting (or tee) that is located downstream of the combustion
blower. Insert a funnel into the hose and pour four (4)
ounces of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate
trap. Reconnect the 1/2” I.D. rubber hose to the stub on the
vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.
2. Disconnect the 5/8” I.D. rubber hose from the condensate
trap. Insert a funnel into the hose and pour four (4) ounces
of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the plastic transition
box. Squeeze the hose together near the end and quickly re-
connect the 5/8” I.D. rubber hose to the stub on the con-
densate trap. Secure with the hose clamp.
The recommended sizes and types of filters that may be used with
your furnace are based on the furnace’s heating gas input rate (and
cooling system capacity, if so equipped).
Replacement filters should be of the same type and size as the
original filters, to ensure adequate air flow and filtering. A
disposable low velocity filter can be replaced with a washable high
velocity type. Do not replace a high velocity filter with a
disposable low velocity filter, except as permitted below.
If a cleanable (high--velocity) filter(s) is to be replaced with a
disposable (low--velocity) filter(s), the airflow area of the filter(s)
must be doubled (i.e., a second filter of the same size must be
installed so that only half of the air goes through each filter). A
second return--air duct to the furnace may be required in which to
install the second filter. Modification of a furnace installation shall
comply with the local installation code and the furnace installation
instructions, and shall be made only by a Qualified Service
Agency.
3. When you return home, your furnace will be ready to start,
as it is not necessary to drain the antifreeze from the furnace.
Furnace Maintenance
Have your furnace inspected and serviced on an annual basis
(before the heating season) by a qualified service agency.
NOTE: Some filters are marked with an arrow to indicate the
proper direction of air flow through the filter. The air flow
direction will be towards the blower motor. Make sure filter is
installed correctly.
