Maintenance
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE, OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in
dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property
damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury, death, or property damage. Before
servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to
disconnecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING
At the beginning of each heating season, system should
be checked as follows by a qualified service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing
life. No further lubrication is needed.
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes,
which could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn
into living space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Filters
All air filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should
be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when
necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Table 18
lists recommended filter sizes.
If a high-efficiency filter is being installed as part of this
system to ensure better indoor air quality, the filter must
be properly sized. High-efficiency filters have a higher
static pressure drop than standard-efficiency glass/foam
filters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity
and performance may be reduced. The pressure drop
may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during
the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer,
resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer against
the data given in the appropriate Product Specifications.
