The home owner should establish a firm understanding of
these responsibilities with the installer or service company so
there no misunderstanding at a later time.
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 inside of the control box to
determine if it has blown. A replacement fuse can be
purchased at where automotive fuses are sold.
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 to Call For Service Assistance
Very often time can be saved if you give a service agency the
information about the furnace ahead of 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.

SECTION V: OWNER MAINTENANCE
All appliances need maintenance at the beginning of each
heating season in order to operate properly. The annual service
must be preformed by qualified service personnel. The
homeowner is expected to perform general cleaning of the
exterior surfaces, clean dust from the louvers in the return air
door and replacement of the air filters. Air filters must be
checked every month and replaced as needed. Figures 2 and 3
indicate the location of the air filters if you have a louvered
return air door.
Should overheating occur turn the circuit breakers on the
control box and the main electrical service entrance (Circuit
Breaker Box) to the off position. Call qualified service
personnel to troubleshoot and repair the furnace. DO NOT
allow the furnace to continue to cycle on the limit controls.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire may
result causing property damage, personal injury, and/or loss
of life.
