While you are away
The furnace is equipped with safety shutoff devices which will
shut off the electric heaters 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 especially
when the outside temperatures will be below 35°F to ensure
the furnace is operating properly. This may prevent water
pipes from freezing.
The Furnace Fails to Operate Properly
If any abnormalities are observed while the furnace is
operating normally, perform the following checks:
1.
Check the setting on the thermostat to make sure the
thermostat is set above the room temperature.
2.
Check to see if the electrical power is turned on at the
circuit breakers at the main service circuit breaker
box or check any on/off switches that may be used
for service disconnect switches.
3.
Check the 3 amp fuse on the right side of the control
box to determine if it has blown. A replacement fuse
can be purchased at your local electronic, automotive
or home center retailer.
4.
Make sure the air filters are clean, return grilles are
not obstructed, and supply air registers are open.
If the cause of the malfunction is not obvious do not attempt to
service the furnace yourself. Call a qualified service agency /
company to repair the furnace.
When Calling For Service Assistance
Providing the service agency with detailed information about
the furnace and problem you are having can save you 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.
