SECTION II: OWNERS INFORMATION AND
SEASONAL INFORMATION
HOW YOU’RE FURNACE WORKS
Your Furnace is a very easy appliance to take for granted.
Season after season, it sits there in your home keeping you warm
and comfortable. For this reason you may never have given much
thought to the way your furnace operates. In order to get the
safest and most efficient operation from your furnace you should
understand how your furnace does its job.
This furnace may only be installed in the vertical position. Figure
3 shows a typical model in the vertical position. The furnace is
equipped with a transformer, pressure switch, integrated control
board, burner assembly, combustion air assemble, transformer,
and a blower assembly. The transformer provides 24 VAC to the
thermostat.
When you set your thermostat to provide more heat in your
home, you are starting the heating cycle of the furnace. The
heating cycle is as follows:
1. The thermostat calls for heat which places 24 VAC on the
“W” terminal on the control board.
2. 24 VAC on the “W” terminal on the control board starts the
combustion air blower motor. Operating the combustion air
blower motor will purge any remaining gases from the heat
exchanger and will send the gases out the vent.
3. Once the combustion air blower motor is running the
pressure switch will close providing there is no vent
restriction or blockage.
4. After the pressure switch closes the hot surface igniter will
be energized and will start to glow.
5. After the igniter gets hot the control will open the gas valve
and gas will start to flow of gas. The gas will ignite as it
passes by the igniter. The flame sensor will sense the
presents of a flame and send a signal back to the control
board that a flame is present. The control board will keep the
gas valve open as long as the flame sensor detects the
presents of a flame, the 24 VAC signal is present on the
control board “W” terminal and no limit switches open.
6. After ignition has been established the indoor blower motor
will be energized distributing warm air through the home.
7. When the temperature of the home has reached the setting
on the thermostat, the 24 VAC signal will be removed from
the “W” terminal on the control board. This causes the gas
valve to de-energize removing the flame from the heat
exchanger. The control board will start the indoor blower
time delay and will turn off the blower once the delay has
timed out.
8. This concludes the heating cycle until the thermostat calls
for heat again.
The furnace is equipped with the controls necessary for proper
and safe operation. The various components referred to in this
manual are identified in Figure 1.
The following list includes important facts and information
regarding the gas furnace and its inclusions.
1. Furnace is rated at 115 volts AC at 60 Hertz
2. Furnace is available in two (2) cabinet sizes.
3. All furnaces are equipped with a blower
4. This furnace is designed for downflow application only.
5. This furnace must not be operated without furnace door
installed.
GENERAL OWNER INFORMATION
1. Refer to the furnace rating plate for the furnace model
number and the operating specifications for safe operation.
2. Provide clearances for servicing ensuring service access is
allowed for the burner compartment, control box and the
blower compartment.

MORTEXPRODUCTSINCFORTWORTH,TX76106Page6of22
3. Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in this
manual can result in malfunction of the furnace, personal
injury, property damage and / or loss of life.
4. If the furnace is installed in a residential garage it must be
installed so that the electric heaters are located not less than
18 inches above the floor and the furnace must be located or
protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles.
5. These instructions cover minimum requirements and
conform to existing national standards and safety codes. In
some instances these instructions exceed certain local codes
and ordinances, especially those who have not kept up with
up with changing construction practices. These instructions
are to be followed and are the minimum requirement to
perform service or repairs on this appliance.
The Service Technician
The furnaces best friend is a qualified service technician. If the
unit gives any indication of improper operation, call the service
technician. The service technician is allowed to perform the
normal routine care of your furnace. He can detect potential
problems and make corrections before trouble develops.
Preventative maintenance of this type will allow the furnace to
operate with minimal concerns to the home owner and will add
years of comfort.
Warranty and Responsibilities
It is the sole responsibility of the home owner to make certain the
furnace has been properly installed and adjusted to operate
properly.
The manufacturer warrants the furnace to be free from defects in
material or workmanship for a stated time in the warranty
agreement. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any
repair costs to correct problems due to improper setup, improper
installation, improper furnace adjustments, adding parts that are
not listed for use with this furnace, improper operating
procedures by the user, ECT.
Some specific examples of service calls which will be excluded
from warranty reimbursement are:
1. Correcting faulty duct work in the home. This can be due to
not enough ducts or ducts are too small to provide proper air
flow through the furnace.
2. Correcting wiring problems in the electrical circuit to the
furnace.
3. Resetting circuit breakers or on/off switches used for
servicing.
4. Furnace problems caused by installation and operation of
any air conditioning unit, heat pump, or other air quality
devise which is not approved for use with this furnace.
5. Adjusting or calibrating the thermostat.
6. Problems caused by construction debris which has fallen
into the furnace.
7. Replacement of fuses.
8. Problems caused by dirty air filters.
9. Problems caused by restrictions in the return or supply air
flow causing low air flow.
The home owner should establish a firm understanding of these
responsibilities with the installer or service company so there no
misunderstanding at a later time.
While you are away
The furnace is equipped with safety shutoff devices which will
shut off the gas burner in case of a malfunction. For this reason it
is never practical to assume the furnace will operate unattended
for a long period of time.
If you are planning to be away from home for a long period of
time have someone check on your home everyday epically when
the outside temperatures will be below 35°F to ensure the
furnace is operating properly. This may prevent water pipes from
freezing.
When to Call For Service Assistance
Very often time can be saved if you give a service agency the
information about the furnace ahead of time. This will enable the
service agency to determine the specific components used and
possibly indentify the problem, thus arriving with the parts to fix
the problem.

1. Follow the instructions exactly as shown in the “Startup and
Shutdown Instructions” in this manual to properly shutdown
this appliance.
2. Remove the burner access door on the front of the furnace.
3. Turn off the valve in the gas supply line and loosen the
ground union joint. Refer to Figure 5.
4. Remove the gas line from the gas valve. Be sure to use a
wrench on the gas valve hub (Wrench Boss) located on the
inlet side of the gas valve to keep the gas valve from moving
when the gas line is being removed.
5. Remove the electrical wires from the terminals on the gas
valve.
6. Unplug the flame sensor and igniter wires from the insulated
spade plugs.
7. Remove the sixteen (16) screws from the burner mounting
plate and remove the burner assembly. Refer to Figure 8.
8. Lift the burner assembly up, turning slightly too clear the air
baffles and slides the burner assembly back to remove.
Empty any dirt or debris using a small soft brush and a vacuum
cleaner.
NEVER clean the burners using water. Water will cause the
burner to corrode and / or rust.
Air Filter Maintenance
The air filter should be inspected every three (3) months and
replaced as needed when they get dirty. The air filters can be
found in the front louvered door. Air filters are disposable and
cannot be cleaned. Replacement air filters are 16” x 20” x 1”.
The air filters are replaced by removing the tape on the bottom of
the louvered door and sliding them down the track. Install the
new air filters by sliding them up the track and taping the bottom
to keep them from falling out when installing the door. Refer to
Figures 6 and 7 for air filter location.

valve
13. Connect the gas supply line. You should use new pipe that is
properly chamfered, reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If
you are using old pipe, be sure it is clean and free of rust,
scale, burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.
DO NOT OVER TORQUE the gas supply pipe into the gas
valve. If the pipe is over tightened into the gas valve it will
damage the valve.
The manufacturer recommends the hand tightening gas pipe
