To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright upflow
installation, follow the directions provided with external filter rack
kit.
Clean, wash and dry a permanent filter. When using a metal filter,
both sides should be sprayed with a dust adhesive as recommended
on adhesive container. Spray adhesives for use with permanent
metal filters can be found at some hardware stores. BE SURE
AIRFLOW DIRECTION ARROW POINTS TOWARDS THE
BLOWER.
Inspect filter. If your dirty filter is the disposable type, replace dirty
with the same type and size filter. If your dirty filter is a permanent
metal filter, clean as follows:
• Wash, rinse, and dry the permanent filters. Both sides should
then be sprayed with a filter adhesive as is recommended
on the adhesive container. Many hardware stores stock
spray adhesives for use with permanent filters.
• If badly torn or uncleanable, these filters must be replaced
by equal size permanent, high velocity filters. Throwaway
filters must not be used as replacement for permanent filters.
Under normal use, permanent filters should last for several
years.

The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower
motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No further
lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumulation of
dust which may cause overheating. Clean as necessary.

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly
invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame
sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and
will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a
qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following
cleaning, the flame sense signal should be as indicated in the
Specifications Sheet.

If the igniter and the surrounding air are at about 70°F and the
igniter wires are not connected to any other electrical components,
the resistance of the igniter should not exceed 200 ohms. If it does,
the igniter should be replaced.

SHOULD DEVELOP.
Periodically during the heating season make a visual check of the
burner flames. Turn the furnace on at the thermostat. Wait a few
minutes, since any dislodged dust will alter the normal flame
appearance. Flames should be stable, quiet, soft and blue with
slightly orange tips. They should not be yellow. They should extend
directly outward from the burner ports without curling downward,
floating or lifting off the ports.
