SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing of heating equipment can be hazardous due
to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such
as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be
performed by trained service personnel. Observe safety precautions
in this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace and
other safety precautions that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol .
When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION,
and NOTE. DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION are used with
the safety--alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury
or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which
may result in minor personal injury or product and property
damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result
in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, damage
to your furnace, or improper operation, carefully follow these
safety rules which apply to both direct--vent and non--direct vent
applications:
SYour new gas furnace may have been installed in one of two
ways, as a direct--vent (2--pipe--Fig. 2) application or as a
non--direct vent (1--pipe--Fig. 3) application.
SIn a direct--vent (2--pipe) application, your furnace uses air
from outside the home for combustion and vents flue gas to the
outdoors. This type of application will have two pipes running
from the furnace to the outdoors. In some cases, the inlet air pipe
may be located in an area that has access to outdoor air, such as
an attic. In all cases, the outlet vent pipe must be routed to the
outdoors. (See Fig. 2.) In this application, the vent and
air--intake pipes must terminate outside the structure and must
not be obstructed in any way. Do not block or obstruct air
openings on furnace or spaces around furnace.
SIn a non--direct vent (1--pipe) application, your furnace uses
air from adjacent to the furnace for combustion and vents flue
gas to the outdoors. This type of application will have only one
pipe running from the furnace to the outdoors. (See Fig. 3.) The
other pipe will terminate in the same space as the furnace and is
the source of combustion air for your furnace. Therefore, the
furnace must not be enclosed in an airtight room or be sealed
behind solid doors. It must have adequate airflow for efficient
combustion and safe ventilation. Do not obstruct the
combustion--air pipe in any way. The vent pipe must terminate
outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. Do
not block or obstruct air openings or space around furnace.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow warnings could result in personal injury,
death, or property damage.
Keep insulation clear of furnace and maintain clearances
shown on unit clearance label.
Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, or property damage.
Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.
!WARNING
SKeep the area around your furnace clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
A92182
Fig. 4 -- NO combustible materials near furnace
SDo not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in any
way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation.
For proper and safe operation the furnace needs air for
combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct air
openings on the furnace, air opening to the area in which the
furnace is installed, and the space around the furnace.
CAUTION
!
In addition to the safety rules above, make sure that the following
combustion--air requirements are met for non--direct vent
applications:
SCombustion air must be clean and uncontaminated with chlorine
or fluorine. These compounds are present in many products
around the home, such as: water softener salts, laundry bleaches,
detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes,
and plastics.
SMake sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain
any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the
combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds
are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers may deteriorate.
SA furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must be
kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the furnace
area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is added.
Some insulation materials may be combustible.
SShould the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs,
shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off electrical
supply.
This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be
MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for an
extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper
operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with
no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before You Request
a Service Call” section in this manual.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chim-
ney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstructions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physic-
ally sound without holes or gaps.
3. The return--air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the furnace is sound without sag-
ging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
6. The burner flames are in good adjustment, See Fig. 5 (by
comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the main
burner flame).

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, turn off the manual gas valve to the furnace
BEFORE turning off the electrical supply and install
lockout tag.
!WARNING
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes
valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface
ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat signals
the furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
SNever attempt to manually light the burners with a match
or other source of flame.

6
A92319
Fig. 6 -- Do Not Light Burner with Match
SRead and follow the operating instructions on inside of
main furnace door, especially the item that reads as fol-
lows: (See Fig. 31.)
“Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Fol-
low “B” in the safety information on furnace label. If you
don’t smell gas, go to the next step.”
SIf a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control
system, such as the burners do not light when they
should, refer to the shutdown procedures on inside of
main furnace door, or in the “Shutting Down Your Fur-
nace” section and call your dealer as soon as possible.
SCHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your
furnace, be sure the furnace filter is clean and in place.
See “Performing Routine Maintenance” section in this
manual. Do not run the furnace without a filter in place.
Then proceed as follows:
STEPS FOR STARTING YOUR FURNACE
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting
and set the “MODE” to “OFF.”. See Fig. 7.

10. Set the room thermostat “MODE” to “HEAT” and adjust the
set point to a temperatureslightly abovethe room temperature.
This will automatically signal the furnace to start.
11. When the furnace receives the start signal, the combustion air
draft inducer is started. When the pressure switch senses that
there is sufficient combustion air, the hot surface igniter is en-
ergized.
After the hot surface igniter is heated for about 20 seconds, the
gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After igni-
tion and a time delay of up to 60 seconds, the furnace blower
will start. Variable--capacity furnaces start at low speed until
the control makes the necessary adjustments to operate the
blower at either the low-- or high--heat speed.
NOTE: If the main burners fail to ignite after four attempts, the
furnace control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main
burners fail to light, or blower does not come on, shut down the
furnace and call your dealer for service.
12. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies your
comfort requirements. SUGGESTION: Setting the thermo-
stat back a few degrees—and compensating for the differ-
ence with warmer clothing—can make a big difference in
your fuel consumption on extremely cold days. The few de-
grees at the top of your thermostat “comfort level” are the
most costly degrees to obtain.
When the room temperature drops below the temperature selected
on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on automatically. When
the room temperature reaches the setting selected on the thermostat,
the furnace will be automatically switched off.
Continuous Fan Operation --Some thermostats have a “FAN”
switch with two selections: AUTO and ON. When the thermostat is
set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, controlled by
the thermostat. In ON position, the furnace blower runs
continuously. Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your
home more evenly balanced. It also continuously filters the indoor
air.
On all but the base series furnace, the blower speed can be
increased or decreased if desired due to change of seasons, large

8
gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your FAN from ON
to OFF for 1 to 3 seconds (or AUTO depending on your
thermostat), and then return to ON. The blower will switch to the
next higher speed. There are at least three speeds to choose from.
If the blower is running on its highest speed, a request to change
will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE
Should you need to shut down your furnace for service or
maintenance, you will need to turn the furnace off. The following
procedures must be followed:
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature setting
andsetthe“MODE”to“OFF.”SeeFig.16.

CAUTION
!
A dirty filter will cause excessive stress on the furnace, heat
exchanger, and blower motor, and can cause it to overheat and
automatically shut down. The furnace filter should be checked
every four weeks and be cleaned or replaced if necessary.
If installed with factory--specified disposable media filter, check or
replace filter before each heating and cooling season. Replace
disposable media filter at least once a year.
If your furnace filter needs replacing, be sure to use the same size
and type of filter that was originally specified.
The air filter for the furnace may be located an external filter
cabinet attached to the side or bottom of the furnace casing. If the
air filter has been installed in another location, contact your dealer
for instructions. To inspect, clean and/or replace the air filter(s),
follow these steps:
1. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. See Fig. 20.
2. Remove air filter from the filter cabinet.

heating season. Make sure that all PVC pipes leading into the
combustion area and vent are free from any cracks and sags. An
accumulation of dirt, soot, or rust can mean a loss of efficiency and
improper performance. Buildups on the main burners can cause
faulty firing. This “delayed ignition” is characterized by an
alarmingly loud sound.
Check the combustion--air intake adjacent to the furnace or outside
your home for blockage. Also check the vent pipe on the outside of
your home for blockage.
NOTE: If your furnace makes a loud noise when the main burners
are ignited, shut down the furnace and call your servicing dealer.
Use your flashlight and follow these steps for inspecting the
combustion area and vent system of your furnace:

A CHECK--UP CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an important investment in your family’s
comfort and your home’s value. To keep it performing properly
and to prevent future problems, have a trained service specialist
give your furnace a professional check--up annually. The following
checklist can be used as a guideline to proper service:
SInspect all flue gas passages, burners, heat exchangers, coupling
box(es), and inducer assembly.
SInspect all combustion--air and vent piping inside structure and
pipe terminations outside the structure.
SCheck gas pipes leading to and inside of your furnace for leaks.
SInspect and clean the blower motor and wheel.
NOTE: The inducer and blower motors are pre--lubricated and
require no additional lubrication. These motors can be identified by
the absence of oil ports on each end of the motor.
SInspect and change or clean air filter(s) if necessary.
SInspect all supply-- and return--air ducts for obstructions, air
leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem when necessary.
SInspect the return--air duct connection(s) at the furnace to ensure

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A
“SERVICE CALL”
If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly,
you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few
things yourself before calling for service.
This furnace has a light emitting diode (LED) status code display
to aid the installer, service technician, or homeowner while
installing or servicing the unit. The LED code can be seen through
the view port in the blower access panel.
NOTE: Record the LED status code BEFORE removing the
blower access door or turning off 115--v power to the furnace. See
the information booklet inside the main furnace door for a service
code legend. See Fig. 31.
For insufficient airflow:
SCheck for dirty air filter(s).
SCheck for blocked return--air or supply--air grilles. Be sure they
are open and unobstructed.
If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.
If furnace fails to operate:
Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next stop only
if furnace fails to start.
SCheck thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermostat set above
room temperature?
SIs thermostat set to HEAT mode?
SCheck fuses and circuit breakers. Is the electrical power supply
switch on?
SIs the manual shut--off valve in the gas supply pipe leading to
the furnace open?
NOTE: Turn off electrical supply before continuing with

SIs control switch on gas valve in ON position? (Follow start--up
procedures if you must reset switch to ON position.)
