WARNING
3. As soon as flame is established a micro-amp reading
should be evident once proof of flame (micro-amp
reading) is established, the hot surface ignitor will be
de-energized.
4. The Integrated Ignition controls will have 1 to 4 mi
-
cro-amps. If the micro-amp reading is less than the
minimum specified, check for high resistance wiring
connections, sensor to burner gap, dirty flame sensor,
or poor grounding.
5. If absolutely no reading, check for continuity on all com
-
ponents and if good - replace ignition control module.
NOTE:
Contaminated fuel or combustion air can create a
nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating
works as an insulator causing a loss in the flame sense
signal. If this situation occurs the flame sensor must be
cleaned with steel wool.

CAUTION
ANNUAL INSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or
service agency at least once per year. This check should be
performed at the beginning of the heating season. This will
ensure that all furnace components are in proper working
order and that the heating system functions appropriately.
Pay particular attention to the following items. Repair or
service as necessary.
•
Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check the outside termination and the connections
at and internal to the furnace.
•
Combustion air intake pipe system (where applica
-
ble). Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check
the outside termination and the connection at the
furnace.
•
Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup
within the heat exchanger passageways.
•
Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and
flame sense.
•
Wiring. Check that electrical connections are tight
and free of corrosion. Check wires for damage.
•
Filters.

N
EVER OPERATE FURNACE WIHTOUT A FILTER INSTALLED AS DUST

WARNING
Filters must be used with this furnace. Filters do not ship
with this furnace but must be provided by the installer for
proper furnace operation.
Note:
Dirty filters are the most common cause of inade
-
quate heating or cooling performance.

INDUCED DRAFT AND CIRCULATION BLOWERS
The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator
blower motors are permanently lubricated by the manu
-
facturer. No further lubrication is required. Check motor
windings for accumulation of dust which may cause over
-
heating. Clean as necessary.
