The hot surface ignitor is energized and after a 17 second warm-

up, the gas valve circuit is energized, opening the gas valve

and igniting the burners. After burning for about 30 seconds,

the circulating air blower comes on, delivering warm air to

the room. If ignition does not occur, the ignition sequence is

repeated again up to 2 more times. (3 trials for ignition-total)

3. After the furnace operates and satisfies the thermostat, the gas

valve closes and the circulating air blower continues to run for

about 2 minutes and then shuts off. The inducer blower runs

for 5 seconds and shuts off.

If for any reason ignition and operation does not occur, the

control board will blink the green fault status LED, a sequence

code, indicating what to look for as a troubleshooting guide.

If the green LED is ON but not blinking check the electronic

temperature control to verify its operation. This can be easily done

by disconnecting the 3 electronic temperature control leads from

the main furnace board and using a pig tail jumper to connect

R & W together on the board. If the furnace comes on and runs

normally the temperature control board is malfunctioning. If

the heater still does not come on, then the main furnace board

is malfunctioning. Look for any fault codes below and verify

the 3 amp fuse is not blown.

Your new furnace should provide many years of trouble free

performance, however, a yearly inspection of the burners , flue

passageways and the outlet vent assembly should be done. Be

sure all passageways are open and clear of any obstruction, or soot

build up. Be sure to shut off all power to the unit while performing

this inspection.
Periodically remove the circulating air filter and clean with water

to remove all dirt. Shake dry and reinstall in unit.
System Operation

1. This furnace has an electronic thermostat and control board

to monitor the room temperature and then control the furnace

operation to provide the best comfort and performance from a

heating appliance. To operate unit turn ON/OFF switch to ON

and then turn temperature control knob clockwise slowly till

furnace turns on. For typical room comfort, the control knob

should be pointed toward medium.

2. The furnace control board follows sequence of operation which

allows for self diagnosis in the event there is a problem. The

control then blinks a status light, a set number of blinks based

on what problem has been encountered. When the furnace is

on and there is a no fault condition, the green LED is on.

On a typical call for heat by the integral thermostat 24 VAC is

applied to the W terminal on the board.

The inducer blower circuit is energized and the inducer blower

comes on for 15 seconds pre-purging out any gas and closing

the pressure switch.

Proper Main Burner Flame

The proper main burner flame will be a blue primary (inner) flame

with a larger, lighter blue secondary (outer) blue flame.

Cleaning Main Burner(s)

Remove main burner(s) and apply air pressure inside the throat and

ports of the main burner(s).
Removing Main Burner(s)

1. Remove front grill assembly.

2. Remove burner compartment access panel (2 screws).

3. Remove main burner(s) from burner compartment (2 screws

per main burner).

Removing Gas Valve

1. Remove front grill assembly.

2. Disconnect manifold union assembly at gas valve.

3. Remove (2) two 24 volt wires from gas valve. Label wires prior

to disconnection from gas valve.

4. Remove gas valve from gas valve bracket.
Removing Main Burner Orifice(s)

1. Remove front grill assembly.

2. Remove burner compartment access panel (2 screws).

3. Disconnect manifold union assembly.

4. Disconnect manifold union assembly brackets (5 screws).
Removing Ignitor and Flame Sensor

1. Remove front grill assembly.

2. Remove ignitor from burner compartment (2 screws).

3. Remove flame sensor from burner compartment (1 screw).
Cleaning Combustion (Exchanger) Assembly

A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON should remove the

combustion (exchanger) assembly. Apply air pressure to the

inside of the combustion (exchanger) assembly in order to clear

all passageways.
Oiling

The blower motor has an oil hole located on each end of the motor.

Use #20 motor oil only. It is best to oil the motor several times

during the heating season using 2 or 3 drops each time.
