THE FURNACE GAS TRAIN IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AS A SEALED UNIT. BE SURE
THAT THE BURNER COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR IS PROPERLY IN PLACE BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE FURNACE.
CAUTION
! !
The furnace achieves its high e
ffi
ciency in three general areas. First, there is no wasteful standing pilot. The
furnace consumes no gas in between cycles. Secondly, the furnace is designed to allow very small amounts of
excess air in the combustion process. Older furnaces had heat exchangers which were commonly 40% larger
than necessary for complete combustion. While this prevented the creation of carbon monoxide, the heated
excess air was expelled up the chimney where it could not benefi t the interior of the home. Special safety
controls now prevent the formation of carbon monoxide.
The third general area is the recovery of the latent heat contained in the fl ue gas, which is comprised of water
vapor and carbon dioxide. By condensing the fl ue gas in the furnace recovery coil, heat that would otherwise be
wasted to the outdoors, is captured and redirected into the duct system where it contributes to home comfort.
Each pound of condensation formed releases approximately 970 Btu’s. Your furnace may condense up to 1/2
gallon (1.89L) (5 pounds) (2.27kg) of water per hour if running continuously.
This condensation must be properly disposed into a sump or drainage system. The condensate lines must
remain clear and free fl owing. Do not allow plastic drain lines to become pinched or kinked. A blocked drain
line can cause the furnace to operate erratically, or not at all.
IMPORTANT:
Your furnace should be cleaned and inspected annually by a trained and qualifi ed
service technician. Your service technician has the knowledge and test equipment to
determine the condition of your furnace.
