Failure to adhere to the guidelines below can result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Service and maintenance –
1.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before
performing maintenance.
2.
To avoid severe burns, allow furnace to cool before
performing maintenance.
3.
Perform service and maintenance as described in this
manual and the burner manual.
4.
Do not attempt to make adjustments to the blower or motor
while the furnace is in operation. Disconnect power to the
furnace and be sure all parts have stopped moving before
attempting adjustments or maintenance.
5.
The burner must be set up and adjusted using combustion
test instruments. Visual examination of the flame alone
cannot determine combustion performance.
Operation -
6.
Do not use the furnace as a construction heater.
7.
Do not operate any furnace if the heat exchanger is
damaged, corroded or pitted. Toxic flue products could enter
the air stream.
8.
Do not jumper, attempt to by-pass or override any limit
control.
9.
Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to furnace.
Do not block or obstruct the air openings in the furnace
casing.
10.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other
flammable liquids or vapors in the furnace area.
11.
Do not operate the furnace if the furnace area will be
exposed to air contaminants as described on page 6.
12.
Should overheating occur, do not turn off or disconnect
electrical supply to furnace. Instead, shut off the oil supply at
a location external to the appliance, if possible.
13.
Do not use this furnace if any part of it has been under
water. Call a qualified service technician immediately, to
inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the furnace,
control system or burner that was submerged in water.
14.
Do not operate furnace if temperature rise through heat
exchanger exceeds 85°F.
15.
Inspect, clean and replace (if necessary) return air filter
regularly.
16.
Do not obstruct return air grills or supply air outlets.
17.
Supply only with #2 fuel oil to the burner. Never attempt to
use gasoline, a mixture of gasoline and oil, waste fuel,
reused or any other substance in the burner of furnace.
Installation -
18.
Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to furnace.
Do not block or obstruct the air openings in the furnace
casing.
19.
Connect furnace only to a functional vent system in good
condition. Place the furnace to allow proper venting, with the
shortest possible venting and minimum number or elbows.
20.
Always connect and seal a return air duct to the furnace
unless the furnace is located in a large space, such as an
unpartitioned basement. Route the return air duct to an
adjacent room if no return air manifold is used.
21.
Install furnace maintaining minimum clearances for service
and separation from combustible surfaces described in this
manual.
22.
Install, start-up, service and maintain burner per instructions
in this manual and the burner manual.
23.
Verify burner is properly inserted through the combustion
chamber opening.
24.
Furnace must be installed so that burner and control system
components are protected from dripping, spraying water or
rain during operation or service.
25.
If installing an air conditioning evaporator coil, install the coil
downstream of, or in parallel with, the furnace to prevent
condensation on the furnace heat exchanger. If the coil is in
parallel, provide means to prevent flow of chilled air into the
furnace, including an interlock to prevent simultaneous
operation of heating and air conditioning.
Apply the following suggestions to prevent unsatisfactory operation of the furnace.
Installation –
1.
Be sure to level the furnace, using a spirit level on the front and
one side. If the furnace is not level, oil can drip into the
combustion chamber after burner cycling and contaminate the
heat exchanger and the burner head.
2.
Make sure all legs are in contact with the floor to distribute the
load and prevent the possibility of undue noise or vibration.
Avoid locating return grills in rooms that may contain undesirable
odors.
3.
Never locate a return air grill closer than approximately 20 feet
from the furnace.
4.
Locate the furnace near the center of the supply and return duct
systems.
5.
Always check the size of the ducts on a replacement installation,
particularly if adding air conditioning.
It is recommended that carbon monoxide detectors be installed wherever oil or gas fired heaters are used. Carbon monoxide
can cause bodily harm or death. For this reason, agency approved carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in your
residence and properly maintained to warn of dangerously high carbon monoxide levels
There are several sources of possible smoke and flames in a residence. Smoke and flames can cause bodily harm or death. For
this reason, agency approved smoke detectors should be installed in your residence and properly maintained, to warn early on,
of a potentially dangerous fire. Also, the house should be equipped with approved and properly maintained fire extinguishers.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that can prevent it from functioning when anomalies are detected such as the optional
Blocked Vent Shut-off device.
