LOCATION
WARNING: This furnace is not water tight and is not designed for outdoor installation. This furnace shall be installed
in such a manner as to protect electrical components from water. Outdoor installation would lead to a hazardous electrical
condition and to premature furnace failure.
WARNING: Do not use this furnace as a construction heater. Use of this furnace as a construction heater exposes
furnace to abnormal conditions, contaminated combustion air, and lack of air filters. Failure to follow this warning can lead
to premature furnace failure and/or vent failure which could result in a fire hazard and/or bodily harm.
This furnace is approved for reduced clearances to combustible construction, therefore, it may be installed in a closet or similar enclosure. It may
be located in basement or on the same level as area to be heated. In any case, unit should always be installed level.
In a basement or when installed on the floor, it is recommended that unit be installed on a concrete pad that is 1 to 2 in. thick.
On dirt floors, furnace may be installed on concrete blocks. Place blocks under all 4 corners and under center of furnace. Center block 22 in. from
back of furnace forward.
The required minimum clearances for this furnace are specified in Table 1.
The furnace should be located as close as possible to the chimney or vent in order to keep vent connections short and direct. The furnace should
also be located as near as possible to center of air distribution system.
PROCEDURE 1—AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: Installation of this furnace in an areas where it will receive contaminated combustion air must be avoided.
Such contamination would include the following: ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, halogenated hydrocarbons, carbon
tetrachloride, cleaning solvents, hydrochloric acid, water softening chemicals, and similar chemicals. Failure to follow this
warning will lead to premature rusting of heat exchanger and possible premature furnace failure and/or vent failure which
could result in fire hazard and/or bodily harm.
This furnace should be installed in a location in which facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion for oil, proper venting, and
maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use. The location should not interfere with proper circulation of air
within the confined space. See NFPA-31 Section 1.5.
In addition to air needed for combustion, process air shall be provided as required for: cooling of equipment or material, controlling dew point,
heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust, and odor control.
In addition, to air needed for combustion, air shall be supplied for ventilation, including all air required for comfort and proper working conditions
for personnel.
The barometric draft regulator (included with furnace) shall be installed in same room or enclosure as furnace in such a manner as to prevent any
difference in pressure between regulator and combustion air requirements.
Air requirements for operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the
adequacy of a space to provide combustion air requirements.
In unconfined spaces in buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction, infiltration MAY be adequate to provide air for combustion,
ventilation, and dilution of flue gasses. This determination must be made on an individual installation basis and must take into consideration the
overall volume of unconfined space, the number of windows and ventilation openings, the number of doors to the outside, internal doors which
can close off unconfined space, and overall tightness of building construction. Consideration must also be given to the amount of storage items
(furniture, boxes, etc.) within the unconfined space which takes away from air volume.
Many new buildings and homes (and older ones that have been weatherized) MUST be considered as being tight of construction, therefore,
infiltration will not be sufficient to supply necessary air for combustion and ventilation.
A building can be considered as being of tight construction when:
1. Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or less with openings
gasketed or sealed, and/or
2. Weather-stripping has been added on operable windows and doors, and/or
3. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames; between sole plates and floors; between wall-ceiling
joints; between wall panels; at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and fuel lines; and at other openings.
If combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to an unconfined space from outside; an opening with a FREE AREA of not less than 1 sq.
in. per 1000 Btuh of total input of all appliances within unconfined space (but not less than 100 sq. in.) must be provided. This opening must be
located such that it can not be blocked at any time.
Furnace sizes listed in Table 2 may be installed in a closet or enclosure. Installer must provide 2 ventilation openings, with OPEN AREA as
dimensioned in Table 2, for combustion air. The openings should be located about 6 in. from top and bottom of enclosure at front of furnace.
For example:
For a confined space, where air is taken from an interior space, 2 permanent openings of equal area are required. One opening must be within 12
in. of ceiling and the other within 12 in. of floor. Each opening must have a free area of at least 1 sq. in. per 1000 Btuh of total input rating but
not less than 100 sq. in.
If outside air is supplied to a confined space, then the 2 openings must be equal and located as above. The free area of each must be:
1. One sq. in. per 4000 Btuh of total input rating when air is directly communicated from outdoors.
—3—

2. One sq. in. per 4000 Btuh of total input rating when air is brought in through vertical ducts.
3. One sq. in. per 2000 Btuh of total input rating when air is transferred through horizontal ducts.
When ducts are used to supply air, they must be of the same cross-sectional area as free area of openings to which they connect.
The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts must not be less than 3 in.
In calculating free area, consideration shall be given to blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens protecting openings. Screens used shall not
be smaller than 1/4in. mesh and shall be readily accessible for cleaning. If free area through a design of louver or grille is know, it shall be used
in calculating size design and free area specified. If design and free areas are not known, it may be assumed that wood louvers have 20 percent
free area and metal louvers and grilles have 60 percent free area. Louvers shall be fixed in open position or interlocked with furnace so they open
automatically at furnace start-up and remain open during furnace operation.
WARNING: Do not block combustion air openings in the furnace. Any blockage will result in improper combustion
which may result in a fire hazard and/or cause bodily harm.
The lack of proper amount of combustion air can lead to serious furnace operational problems. Some of these problems are:
1. Excessive oil burner after drip and oil fumes.
2. Sooting.
3. Melted oil burner couplings and/or ignitor/relay control.
4. A condition where air band or air shutter settings must be open more than normal to achieve proper combustion.
5. Lockouts on start-up.
PROCEDURE 2—DUCT WORK RECOMMENDATIONS
The proper sizing of warm air ducts is necessary to ensure satisfactory furnace operation. Duct work should be in accordance with the latest editions
of NFPA-90A (Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems) and NFPA-90B (Warm Air Heating ad Air Conditioning Systems) or
Canadian equivilent.
The supply duct work should be attached to flanged opening provided at discharge end of furnace. See Fig. 5 for dimensions of this opening.
The following recommendations should be followed when installing duct work:
1. Install locking-type dampers in all branches of individual ducts to balance out system. Dampers should be adjusted to impose proper static
at outlet of furnace.
2. A flexible duct connector of noncombustible material should be installed at unit on both supply and return air systems. In applications where
extremely quiet operation is neccessary, the first 10 ft (if possible) of supply and return ducts should be internally lined with acoustical
material.
3. In cases where return-air grille is located close to fan inlet, there should be at least one 90° air turn between fan inlet and grille. Further
reduction in sound level can be accomplished by installing acoustical air turning vanes or lining duct as described in item 2 above.
4. When a single air grille is used, duct between grille and furnace must be the same size as return opening in furnace.
CAUTION: Return-air grilles and warm air registers MUST not be obstructed.
WARNING: When supply ducts carry air circulated by furnace to areas outside spaces containing furnace, return-air
MUST also be handled by a duct sealed to furnace casing and terminating outside space containing furnace. Incorrect duct
work termination and sealing will create a hazardous condition which could lead to bodily harm.
When installing furnace with cooling equipment for year-round operation, the following recommendations must be followed for series or parallel
airflow:
1. In series airflow applications, coil is mounted after furnace in an enclosure in supply-air stream. The furnace blower is used for both heating
and cooling airflow.
WARNING: The coil MUST be installed on air discharge side of furnace. Under no circumstances should airflow be
such that cooled, conditioned air can pass over furnace heat exchanger. This will cause condensation in heat exchanger and
possible failure of heat exchanger which could lead to fire harzard and/or a hazardous condition which may lead to bodily
harm. Heat exchanger failure due to improper installation may not be covered by warranty.
2. In parallel airflow applications, dampers must be provided to direct air over furnace heat exchanger when heat is desired and over cooling
coil when cooling is desired.
IMPORTANT: The dampers should be adaquate to prevent cooled air from entering furnace. If manually operated, dampers must be equipped
with a means to prevent operation of either cooling unit or furnace unless damper is in full cool or heat position.

PROCEDURE 2—PRE-INSTALLATION VENT SYSTEM INSPECTION
Before furnace is installed, it is highly recommended that any existing vent system be completely inspected.
For any chimney or vent, this should include the following:
1. Inspection for any deterioration in chimney or vent. If deterioration is discovered, chimney must be repaired or vent must be replaced.
2. Inspection to ascertain that vent system is clear and free of obstructions. Any blockage must be cleared before installing furnace.
3. Clearing chimney or vent if previously used for venting a solid fuel burning appliance or fireplace.
4. Confirming that all unused chimney or vent connections are properly sealed.
5. Verification that chimney is properly lined and sized per the applicable codes (Refer to list of codes in Safety Considerations section).
PROCEDURE 3—MASONRY CHIMNEY
This furnace can be vented into an existing masonry chimney. This furnace must not be vented into a chimney servicing a solid fuel burning
appliance. Before venting furnace into a chimney, the chimney MUST be checked for deterioration and repaired if necessary. The chimney must
be properly lined and sized per local or national codes.
If furnace is vented into a common chimney, the chimney must be of sufficient area to accommodate the total flue products of all appliances vented
into chimney.
The following requirements are provided for a safe venting system:
1. Be sure that chimney flue is clear of any dirt or debris.
2. Be sure that chimney is not servicing an open fireplace.
3. Never reduce pipe size below minimum certified furnace pipe size shown in Table 2.
4. All pipe should be supported using proper clamps and/or straps. These supports should be at least every 4 ft.
5. All horizontal runs of pipe should have at least 1/4 in. per ft. of upward slope.
6. All runs of pipe should be as short as possible with as few turns as possible.
7. Seams should be tightly joined and checked for leaks.
8. The flue pipe must not extend into chimney but be flush with the inside wall.
9. The chimney must extend 3 ft. above highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and at least 2 ft. higher than any portion
of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 ft. It shall also be extended at least 5 ft. above the highest connected equipment flue collar.

PROCEDURE 2—RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PRACTICES AND COMBUSTION CHECK
In order to obtain optimum performance from oil burner, the following setup procedures must be followed:
1. A test kit (Bacharach No. 5022 kit or equivalent) to measure smoke, stack draft, over-fire CO
2
, and stack temperatures MUST be used in
order to obtain proper air band setting. Although all of the above measurements are required for optimum setup and efficiency data, the most
important readings that must be taken are smoke number, over-fire draft, and stack draft.
2. The proper smoke number has been established by engineering tests to be between 0 and 1. This degree of smoke emission is commonly
referred to as a “trace” of smoke. It is recommended to use a Bacharach true spot smoke test set or equivalent.
3. In order to ensure proper draft through furnace, a barometric draft regulator (supplied with furnace) must be installed as close to outlet of
furnace as possible. In order for this device to function properly, barometric damper must be mounted with hinge pins horizontal and face
of damper vertical (see instructions included with damper). The draft regulator should be adjusted after furnace has been firing for at least
10 minutes, and stack draft should be measured and set between —0.025 and —0.035 in. wc. The draft should be checked with a Bacharach
MZF draft gauge or equivalent.
4. The over-fire draft, which is taken through hole provided in observation door, is a measurement necessary to determine if there is blockage
between oil burner and flue outlet.
There should be a pressure drop of between 0.005 and 0.015 in. wc through furnace. This would set the range of the over-fire draft between —0.01
and —0.03 in. wc. A reading above —0.01in. wc. (for example, +0.1in. wc) would indicate that furnace is in an extremely high-pressure condition
in primary section. This condition may be caused by excessive combustion air due to air band being open too wide, or a lack of flue draft (chimney
effect), or some other blockage, such as soot, in secondary section of heat exchanger.
5. The CO
2
and stack temperature instruments enable you to obtain data required to determine thermal efficiency of furnace.
6. An oil filter should be installed as close to burner as possible with ALL oil burners and is essential on lowing firing rate burners. The use
of a low pressure drop oil filter such as General Filter, Inc. model # 1A-25A or equivalent is recommended. It is critical that oil capacity
be equivalent or greater that fuel pump gear capacity. For a 2–pipe system, this is 25 gph.
7. The oil pressure regulator is factory set to give nozzle oil pressures of 100 psig. The firing rate noted on nameplate may be obtained with
“standard” nozzles by adjusting pump pressure as noted in Table 4 or on label on furnace.
On a new installation, air entrapped in oil line leading from tank to nozzle must be thoroughly purged in order to prevent excessive after drip. The
oil pump is provided with a special fitting which allows purging of any air between tank and oil pump. The proper procedure for performing this
operation is as follows:
a. Place a piece of clear plastic 1/4 in. diameter tubing over purge fitting on oil pump.
b. Start oil burner, then open purge fitting and allow burner to run until purge tube is completely free of air bubbles.
c. Tighten purge fitting. Allow oil to run to nozzle and fire burner.
d. If purging takes longer than 30 seconds and no flame has been established, burner stops. Push reset button on top of primary control to
restart burner.
e. For detailed information on operation of primary control, refer to instructions included with furnace.
PROCEDURE 3—FAN ADJUSTMENT CHECK
This furnace is equipped with a 3–speed direct drive motor to deliver a temperature rise (between return and supply plenums) within range specified
on rating plate at external duct static pressure noted on rating plate.
CAUTION: When operating furnace in heating mode, static pressure and temperature rise (supply-air temperature
minus return-air temperature) must be within those limits specified on rating label. Failure to follow this caution could lead
to sever furnace damage.
Adjust fan speed so that temperature rise is within range specified on rating plate. Consult wiring diagram for speed changes on direct-drive motor.
To adjust fan off time, set DIP switches on control board to obtain desired timing (see Fig. 1).
PROCEDURE 4—LIMIT CONTROL CHECK
After furnace has been in operation for at least 15 minutes, restrict return-air supply by blocking filters or closing return registers and allow furnace
to shut down on high limit. The burner should shut off, and main blower should continue to run.
Remove restriction, and burner should come back on in a few minutes.
PROCEDURE 5—FOR YEAR-ROUND AIR CONDITIONING
This furnace is designed for use in conjunction with cooling equipment to provide year-round air conditioning. The blower has been sized for both
heating and cooling, however, fan motor speed may need to be changed to obtain necessary cooling airflow.
PROCEDURE 6—HEATING
The blower speed is factory set to deliver required airflow at normal duct static pressure.

PROCEDURE 7—COOLING
The blower speed may be field adjusted to deliver required airflow for cooling application (see Table 5).
PROCEDURE 8—CONSTANT BLOWER SWITCH
This furnace is equipped with a constant low-speed blower option. Whenever room thermostat is not calling for heating or cooling, blower runs
on low speed in order to provide air circulation. If constant blower option is not desired, the rocker switch on side of control box may be used
to turn off constant speed.

The procedure for nozzle installation and/or replacement is outlined in Oil Burner Instruction Manual which came with the furnace. For ease of
maintenance the oiling procedure for burner motor, as outline in burner manual, should be performed at the same time.
After replacement of nozzle, burner should be adjusted in accordance with Combustion Check section of the instruction.
PROCEDURE 3—HEAT EXCHANGER AND FLUE PIPE
Ordinarily, it is not necessary to clean heat exchanger or flue pipe every year; however, it is NECESSARY to have your service technician check
unit before each heating season to determine whether cleaning or replacement of parts is required.
A. Cleaning Secondary Heat Exchanger Tubes and Flue Pipe Only
1. Turn off all oil and electrical supplies upstream of furnace.
CAUTION: If furnace has been in operation, some surfaces may be hot. Allow time for unit to cool down.
2. Disconnect flue pipe and remove flue elbow.
3. For access to cleanout ports, remove blower door and filter. The 2 cleanout ports are located in the blower compartment. They protrude
through the partition and are located on the left and right of flue pipe.
4. Unscrew wing clamp nuts and remove cleanout port covers. This allows access to the tubes. (See Fig. 2.)
5. Clean secondary tubes and flue pipe with a stiff brush and vacuum cleaner.
6. Before reinstalling cleanout port covers, the gasket on each cover MUST be replaced. Use cleanout port gasket kit part no. 20196201.
7. Reinstall covers and tighten in place making sure that covers are properly seated over ports and gasketed has sealed opening. (See Fig. 3.)
WARNING: Failure to replace cleanout port cover gaskets, failure to properly seat covers over ports, and/or failure to
securely tighten wing nuts could lead to flue gas leakage. This could lead to furnace damage, oil fumes, sooting, and severe
bodily harm.
8. Reconnect flue pipe.
9. Reinstall filter and blower door.
10. Turn on power to unit and readjust burner for proper operation. Inspect cleanout ports and flue connection to make sure there are no leaks.
B. Cleaning Both Primary and Secondary Heat Exchangers
If a more thorough cleaning is required (both primary and secondary heat exchanger sections), the following steps should be performed:
1. Turn off all oil and electrical supplies upstream of furnace.
CAUTION: If furnace has been in operation, some surfaces may be hot. Allow time for unit to cool down.
2. Remove blower door.
3. Disconnect flue pipe.
4. Remove outside flue collar.
5. Remove top rear panel.
NOTE: Blower removal as described in Maintenance Section, Procedure 4–Blower Oiling and Removal may be desired for easier access when
cleaning with duct work attached.
6. Remove inside collar on flue pipe.

7. Remove top partition.
8. Place field-fabricated cardboard on metal tray beneath collector box to prevent debris form entering blower compartment..
9. Remove flue collector box from secondary heat exchanger tube flnge. This exposes inside surfaces of secondary tubes of heat exchanger..
10. Clean secondary tubes and flue pipe with a stiff brush and vacuum cleaner..
11. Remove louvered door.
12. Disconnect limit control wires.
13. Disconnect oil line and remove oil burner from furnace.
14. Remove observation door and collar on observation tube..
15. Remove intermediate panel. Care must be taken not to bend or damage limit control..
CAUTION: Never use incendiary type cleaners (smoke sticks) for cleaning!
WARNING: For all heat exchanger plates that have been removed, the gaskets MUST be replaced. Failure to replace
gaskets could lead to heat exchanger leakage, sooting, and a hazardous condition which could lead to bodily harm.
16. Loosen to hand tightness the 3 nuts labeled “A” in Fig. 4. Remove screws labeled “B” in Fig. 4. Slide combustion chamber forward out
of heat exchanger. Be careful not to bump combustion chamber as it becomes brittle after having been fired..
17. Use a stiff brush and vacuum cleaner to clean inside of primary drum..
18. Before reassembly, heat exchanger and combustion chamber should be inspected to determine if replacement is required. After cleaning,
place combustion chamber back into primary drum and secure with “B” screws. Ensure that cover plate gasket is in place before tightening
screws. Care must be taken not to damage combustion chamber. The “B” screws should be tightened to 35–45 lb.in..
19. Tighten “A” nuts to 30 lb.-in. of torque (firm, but not overly tight).
20. Replace intermediate panel, observation tube collar, observation door, limit wiring, and oil burner.
21. Replace collector box on secondary tube flange, ensuring proper placement of gasket. Tighten screws to 35–45 lb.in. of torque.
22. Replace top partition, inside collar on flue pipe, top rear panel, outside flue collar, and blower door.
23. Reconnect flue pipe and oil line(s).

24. Readjust burner for proper operation. Check limit operation as outlined in Operational Checkout, Procedure 4–Limit Control Check section.
PROCEDURE 4—BLOWER OILING AND REMOVAL
Periodic oiling of blower motor may be necessary. Check for instructions on inside of blower access panel.
If it is ever necessary to remove blower from furnace:
1. Turn off electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove blower door.
3. Remove screws securing blower legs to blower rails mounted on bottom panel of furnace.
4. Slide blower forward on rails toward front of unit until motor wire connections at terminal block on motor can easily be reached and
disconnected.
5. Disconnect motor wires at terminal block on motor.
6. Remove blower from unit..
7. Reverse items 1 through 6 to reinstall blower. Refer to wiring diagram (Fig. 7) of this instruction or diagram located on inside of louvered
door to properly rewire unit.
PROCEDURE 5—KEEPING FILTERS CLEAN
WARNING: Never operate unit without a filter or with filter access door removed. Failure to adhere to this warning
could lead to a hazardous condition which could lead to equipment damage and bodily harm.
As a homeowner, keeping filters clean is your most important responsibility. A dirty filter reduces efficiency of your system, causes erratic
performance of controls, and could result in damage to motor or heating equipment.
1. Inspect filters at regular intervals depending on dirt conditions. For new homes, check filters every week for 4 consecutive weeks. In all
cases, inspect filters at least every 3 to 4 weeks when system is in constant operation. Replace or clean filter at least at beginning of each
season (heating or cooling) and thereafter as needed.
2. If the permanent filter supplied with filter rack becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with cold water and soap.
Be sure that filter is thoroughly dry before installing back into furnace.
