SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym-
bol z2x. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in
instrucfions 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
m identify unsafe practices which would result in minor per-
sonal injury or product and prop-erty damage. NOTE is used
to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced instal-
lafion, reliability or operation.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire,
furnace damage, or improper operation; carefully follow
these safety rules:
•Your gas furnace uses air from outside the home for com-
bustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not to be
installed using indoor air for combustion. 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 the furnace.
V!I gll-'1-'l [e]
5
• Keep the area around your furnace clear and flee of COln-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and
vapors.
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or
in any way block the flow of fiesh air to the unit.
• A tunmce installed in an attic or other insulated space must
be kept fiee and clear of insulating material. Examine the fur-
nace area when the funmce is installed or when insulation is
added. Some materials may be combustible.
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.
Fire Hazard! Failure to keep insulation clear of
furnace could result in fire, personal injury/death
or property damage.
Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids or vapors around your
furnace. Failure to follow this warning could result
in fire, personal injury/death or property damage.
For proper and safe operation the furnace needs
air for combustion and ventilation. Do not block
or obstruct the openings on the furnace, air
openings to the area in which the furnace is in-
stalled, and the space around the furnace. Failure
to follow this warning could result in fire, personal
injury/death or property damage.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the funmce
(i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and tree of
obstruction s.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is phys-
ically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return-air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the funmce casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the funmce is sound without sag-
ging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
6. The pilot and burner flames are in good adjustment (by
comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the
main burner flame and, if applicable, the pilot burner
flame).
64

STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN
YOUR FURNACE
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
starts your funlace. Follow these important safeguards:
7
•Never attempt to manually light the burners with a match
or other source of flame.
• Read and follow the operating instructions on inside of
main funlace door, especially the item that reads as follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B"
in the safety iufonnatiou above on this funmce label. If you
don't smell gas, go to the next step.
• If 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 funmce
door, or in the "Shutting Down Your Furnace" section and
call your dealer as soon as possible.
If overheating occurs or the gas valve fails to shut
off the gas supply, turn off the manual gas valve to
the furnace BEFORE turning off the electrical sup-
ply. (See Fig. 9.) Failure to follow this warning
could result in a fire or explosion, and personal in-
jury/death or property damage.
CHECK 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.
Then proceed as follows:
STEPS FOR STARTING YOUR FURNACE
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature set-
ting. (See Fig. 8.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 9.)
/--
9 10
3. Turn OFF electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 10.)
4. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 11.)
11
5. The gas valve will have a control switch to turn offand on.
Turn the control switch on the gas control to the OFF
position and wait 5 minutes. (See Fig. 12 or 13.) Then
smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP! Follow "B" on funmce label. If you don't smell
gas, go to next step.

7. Replace main furnace door. (See Fig. 16.)
8. Turn ON the electrical supply to the furnace and wait 1
minute. (See Fig. 17.)
9. Open the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 18.)
10. Set the room thermostat to a temperature slightly
above the room temperature. This will automatically
signal the furnace to start.
11. When the furnace receives the start signal, the inducer is
started. When the pressure switch senses that there is suf-
ficient combustion air, the hot surface igniter is energized.
Alter the hot surface igniter is heated for 17 seconds, the
gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. Alter
ignition and a time delay of about 60 sec, 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 burners fail to ignite alter 4 attempts, the fu>
nace 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 thermostat back a few
degrees--and compensating for the difference with
warmer clothing--can make a big difference in your fuel
consumption. The few degrees at the top of your thermo-
stat "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 auto-
matically. When the room temperature reaches the tempera-
ture selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be switched
off automatically.
Some thermostats have a FAN mode with 2 selections: AUTO
and ON. When set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on
and off. In the ON mode, the furnace blower runs continu-
ously. Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your
home more evenly balanced. It also permits the indoor air to
be continuously filtered. ComfortFan TM -On all but the
58MCA, the blower speed can be increased or decreased if
desired due to change of seasons, large gatherings in your
home, etc. Simply change your FAN flom 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 3 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 ever 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. (See Fig. 19.)
f
J19
2. Close the external manual gas valve (See Fig. 9.)
3. Turn off electrical supply m the furnace. (See Fig. 20.)
4. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 11.)
5. Turn the switch on the gas control m the OFF position.
(See Fig. 21 or 22.)

basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing
air filters.
All other operations must be performed by trained and qual-
ified service agency personnel. Observe safety precautions in
this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace,
and other safety precautions that may apply.
With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate
economically and dependably. Instructions for basic mainte-
nance are found on this and the following pages. However,
before beginning maintenance, follow these safety precautions:
Turn off electrical power supply to your furnace
before removing the access doors to service or
perform maintenance. A failure to follow this
warning could result in personal injury/death or
property damage.

NOTE: The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories
when modifying this product.
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazard-
ous due to gas and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or
service heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform
Although special care has been taken to minimize
sharp edges, be extremely careful when handling
parts or reaching into the furnace. Failure to follow
this caution would result in minor personal injury.
FILTERING OUT TROUBLE
Never operate your furnace without a filter in place.
Doing so may damage the furnace blower motor.
An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts
of your furnace can cause a loss of efficiency and
would cause minor property or product damage.
A dirty air filter will cause a loss of airflow in your duct
system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the furnace
may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unat-
tended, the furnace will eventually lock out. It is recom-
mended that the furnace air filter be checked every 3 or 4
weeks and cleaned if necessary.
If installed with factory-specified disposable media filter,
check or replace filter before each heating and cooling sea-
sou. Replace disposable media filter at least once a year.
The air filter is normally located in the blower compartment
(See Fig. 3 or 4.) or in the factory-supplied filter cabinet
attached to the side or bottom of the furnace casing. If air
filter has been installed in another location, contact your deal-
er for instructions. To inspect, clean, aud/or replace the air
filter(s), follow these steps:
1. Turn offelectrical supply m furnace. (See Fig. 20.)
2. Remove door/access panel

When dirt, soot, scale, or rust is allowed to build up, your fllr-
nace can suffer a loss of efficiency and perform improperly.
Accumulations on the main burners can result in firingout of
normal sequence. This delayed ignition creates an alarmingly
loud sound.
If your furnace makes an especially loud noise
when the main burners light, shut down your fur-
nace and call your dealer. Failure to follow this
caution would result in minor property damage.
To inspect the combustion area and vent system, you will
need a flashlight. Refer m Fig. 3 or 4, and proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the gas and electrical supplies m the lhrnace and
remove the main furnace door. (See Fig. 9, 10, and 11.)
2. Remove burner enclosure front. (See Fig. 37 or 38.)
Inspect the gas burners, igniter area, and remainder of flmmce
for dirt, rust, soot, or scale.
If dirt, rust, soot, or scale accumulations are found,
call your dealer. Do not operate your furnace. Failure
to follow this caution would result in minor property
or product damage.
3. Inspect the colnbustion-air and vent PVC pipes for sags,
holes, cracks, or disconnections. Horizontal portions of
pipes must slope downward toward funmce.

6. Start the flmmce and observe its operation. Watch the
burner flames to see if they are clear blue, almost transpar-
ent. (See Fig. 36.) If you observe a suspected malfunction,
or the burner flames are not clear blue, call your dealer.
If holes are found in the pipes or if any portion has
become disconnected, toxic fumes can escape into
your home. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR FURNACE.
Call your dealer for service. Failure to follow this
warning could result in personal injury or death.
Visually inspect the combustion area and vent system before
each heating season. Make sure that all PVC pipes leading
into the combustion area and vent are tree from any cracks
and sags. Check the Colnbustion-air intake and vent pipe on
the outside of your home for blockage. 39

HEADING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER?
DON'T FORGET YOUR FURNACE!
If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space
where the ambient temperatures may be 32°F or
lower, freeze protection measures must be taken to
prevent minor property or product damage.
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some water
will accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer process.
Theret\)re, once it has been operated, it cannot be turned off and
left off for an extended period of time when temperatures will
reach 32°F or lower unless wimedzed. Follow these procedures
to winterize your furnace:
1. Obtain propylene glycol (RV/swimming pool amifreeze
or equivalent).
Do not use ethylene glycol (Prestone II antifreeze
coolant or equivalent). Failure of plastic compo-
nents will occur.
2. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 20.)
3. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 23.)
4. Remove upper inducer housing drain connection cap.
(See Fig. 40.)
E: .........................

5. Connect field-supplied l/2-in. ID tube to upper inducer
housing drain connection.
6. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.
7. Pour 1quart of anfifieeze into funnel/tube. Antifreeze
should run through inducer housing, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain. (See Fig. 41 .)
8. Remove funnel and tube from inducer housing and
replace drain connection cap and clamp.
9. Replace main furnace door. (See Fig. 34.)
10. Propylene glycol need not be removed before restarting
furnace.
A CHECK-UP CHECKLIST
Your timmce represents an important investment in your falni-
ly'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
selwice:
• Inspect all flue gas passages, burners, heat exchangers, cou-
pling box(es), and inducer assembly.
• Inspect all combustion-air and vent piping inside StlUCture
and vent pipe termination outside the structure.
• Check gas pipes leading to and inside of your filrnace for leaks.
• Inspect 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 ofoil ports on each end of the motor.
• Inspect and change or clean air filters(s) if necessary.
• Inspect all supply- and return-air ducts for obstructions, air
leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem when necessary.
• Inspect the return-air duct connections(s) at the furnace to en-
sure it is physically sound, sealed to the furnace casing, and ter-
minates outside the space containing the fnrnace.
• Inspect electrical wiring, connections, and components for
loose connections.
• Pert\)rm an operational checkout to determine whether your
furnace is working properly and if it requires adjustments.
• Inspect all condensate drain tubes and condensate trap assem-
bly for leaks. The condensate removal system should be cleaned
annually by a qualified service agency. Refer to the Service and
Maintenance Instl-uctions l\_r fnrther inl\_rmation.
• Examine the physical support of the furnace. Support should
be sound with not cracks, sagging, gaps, etc. around the base.
• Check furnace l\_rany obvious signs of deterioration.
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.
FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:
• Check for dirty air filter(s).
• Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles throughout
your home. Ensure they are open and unobstructed.
If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.
IF FURNACE FALLS TO OPERATE:
Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next step
only if furnace thils to start.
• Check thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermostat set
above room temperature'?
10

•Is thermostat set on HEAT'?
• Check fuses and circuit breakers. Is electrical supply o11'?
• Is manual shutoff valve in gas supply pipe in open position?
(Follow start-up procedures if you open gas valve.)
NOTE: Turn off electrical supply before continuing with
checklist.
• Is control switch oll gas wllve in ON position? (Follow start-
up procedures if you must reset switch m ON position.)
• Check manual reset flame rollout switch located on the burner
box. (See Fig. 3 or 4.) If furnace has experienced high temper-
ature conditions, this switch will shut off the furnace. Reset it
by pushing the button on the switch. If it trips again, shut down
the furnace and call for service. See "Shutting Down Your Fur-
nace" section in this manual.
• Check for obstructions around the vent termination.
If the furnace still fails to operate, call your service represeuta-
five.
