OWNER’S INFORMATION
The furnace must be inspected and started ANNUALLY, at the beginning of the
heating season, only by a qualified service technician.
The service technician must perform
annual service and maintenance on the furnace to ensure reliable operation. Failure to service and maintain the
furnace and system could result in equipment failure, causing severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
As the owner, you must be aware of the following requirements. You must inspect and clean or replace the furnace
filter monthly, as described below, and perform the other inspection procedures as well. Failure to maintain a clean
filter will result in cycling of the furnace and could lead to a no-heat condition. Failure to perform this maintenance
could result in substantial property damage.
Follow all of the procedures below. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Operating the furnace
1. The furnace should operate automatically on call for heat from the room thermostat.
2. If the furnace oil burner should shut down on flame failure, the burner primary control will lock out. Ask your
service technician to show you the correct procedure to reset the primary control button. NEVER push the
button more than once in an attempt to start the burner after lockout. Continued lockout of the control means
something is wrong with the burner, controls or oil system. The condition must be corrected by a qualified
service technician.
Daily inspection
1. Verify there are no combustible materials in the furnace room or near the furnace.
2. Verify the air openings to the furnace room are not obstructed in any way.
3. Verify the furnace seems to be operating normally. Notify your service technician immediately if you notice any
abnormal behavior.
Monthly – inspect and clean/replace filter
1. Ask your service technician to show you the correct way to remove and clean your furnace filter. Replace the
filter if you are unable to thoroughly clean it.
To shut down furnace
1. Set the room thermostat to its lowest setting.
2. Turn off the disconnect switch in the 120-VAC power line to the furnace.
3. If the burner will be shut down for an extended time, tightly close all oil valves.
4. Refer to burner manual for any additional instructions.
