• These maintenance instructions are primarily intended
to assist qualifi ed technicians experienced in the proper
maintenance and operation of this appliance.
• Always reinstall the doors on the furnace after servicing
or cleaning/changing the fi lters. Do not operate the
furnace without all doors and covers in place.
• Verify the thermostat is properly installed and is not
being affected by drafts or heat from lamps or other
appliances.
• To achieve the best performance and minimize
equipment failure it is recommended that a yearly
maintenance checkup be performed. At a minimum,
this check should include the following items:
Air Filter(s)
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a fi lter in
place. Dust and lint can build up on internal
components, resulting in loss of effi ciency,
equipment damage, and possible fi re.
Air fi lter(s) are not supplied with the furnace as shipped
from the factory. The installer must provide a high velocity
fi lter that is appropriately sized to the return air duct opening
or external fi lter rack. It is recommended that fi lter(s) be
1” or 2” thick and be cleaned or replaced monthly. New
or newly renovated homes may require more frequent
changing until the construction dust has minimized.
Filters designed to remove smaller particles such as
pollen, may require additional maintenance. Filters for
side return and bottom return applications are available
from most local distributors.
Blower Compartment
Dirt and lint can create excessive loads on the motor
resulting in higher than normal operating temperatures
and shortened service life. It is recommended that the
blower compartment be cleaned of dirt or lint that may
have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower
and motor as part of the annual inspection.
Cleaning of Burners
If the burners must be cleaned, follow steps 1 - 12. See
Figure 20 (page 34) for component location.

a manual valve in the supply piping.
2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set the thermostat
to its lowest setting.
3. Remove the burner door from the furnace.
4. Turn the gas control switch to the OFF position.
5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve, igniter, fl ame
sensor, and fl ame rollout switch.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the unit or internal
components, it is recommended that two
wrenches be used when loosening or tightening
nuts. Do not over tighten!
6. Using two wrenches, separate the ground-joint union
in the gas supply piping at the furnace.
7. Remove the piping between the gas valve and the
ground-joint union. (If applicable).
8. Remove all screws securing the burner assembly to
the furnace.
9. Carefully remove the burner assembly from the
furnace.
DO NOT DAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE
REMOVING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.
10. Inspect the burners for accumulated dust or debris.
If necessary carefully clean them with a soft wire
brush and a vacuum cleaner.
DO NOT DAMAGE THE
IGNITER WHILE CLEANING THE BURNER.
11. Replace all the parts in reverse order that they were
removed.
12. Follow the lighting instructions found on the furnace
door to return the furnace to operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
Cleaning of Flue Passages
If the fl ue passages must be cleaned, follow the steps
below. See Figure 20 for component location.

2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set the thermostat
to the lowest temperature setting.
3. Remove the blower door from the furnace.
4. Turn the gas control switch to the OFF position.

6. Remove the silicone rubber tube from the inducer.
7. Using two wrenches, separate the ground-joint union
in the gas supply piping at the furnace.
8. Remove the piping between the gas valve and the
ground-joint union. (If applicable).
9. Remove all screws securing the burner assembly to
the furnace.
10. Carefully remove the burner assembly from the furnace.
DO NOT DAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE REMOVING
THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.
11. *SA models - Remove all screws securing the inducer
