the blower and motor can create excessive loads on
the motor resulting in higher than normal operating
temperatures and possible shortened service life.

• Maintain heat exchanger and burners. The unit should

operate for many years without excessive scale buildup
in the heat exchanger, however, the heat exchanger, the
vent system, and the burners should be inspected and
cleaned (if required) by a qualified serviceman annually
to ensure continued safe operation. Particular attention
must be given to identify deterioration from corrosion
or other sources.

• The motors for the circulating air blower, outdoor fan,

and combustion blower are pre-lubricated at the factory.
No further oiling is required for the life of this product.

• Inspect and clean the screen of the vent cover assembly

at the beginning of each heating and cooling season.

Cleaning of Heat Exchanger

WARNING:

Holes in the heat exchanger can cause products

of combustion to enter the home. Replace the heat

exchanger if leaks are found. Failure to prevent

products of combustion from being circulated into

the living space can create potentially hazardous

conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning

that could result in personal injury or death.

If the heat exchanger must be cleaned due to soot or
scale build up, follow the steps below.

1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit at the meter or at the

manual valve in the gas supply piping.

2. Turn off all power to the unit and set the thermostat to

the lowest temperature setting.

3. Remove the louvered access panel from the unit.
4. Turn the gas control knob (gas valve) to the OFF

position. See

Figure 11 (page 29)

for gas valve shut

off instructions.

5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve, ignitor, flame

sensor, combustion air motor, flame roll-out control,
over-temperature limit switch, and pressure switch.

6. Remove the silicone rubber tube from the collector pan

to the pressure switch.

7. Remove 4 nuts securing the combustion blower to the

collector pan. Remove the combustion blower.

8. Remove all screws securing the collector pan to the

unit. Remove the collector pan from the unit.

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!

9. Using 2 wrenches, separate the ground-joint union in

the gas supply piping at the unit.

CAUTION:

Use care when removing parts from this unit.

Personal injury can result from sharp metal

edges present in all equipment of sheet metal

construction.

Routine maintenance should include the following:

CAUTION:

The unit should never be operated without a
filter in the return air system. Replace disposable
filters with the same type and size.

• Inspect, clean or replace air filters at the beginning of

each heating and cooling season, or more frequently
if required.

• Inspect the condensate drain and outdoor coil at the

beginning of each cooling season. Remove any debris.
Clean the outdoor coil and louvers as necessary using a
mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with water.

• Inspect the electrical connections for tightness at the

beginning of each heating and cooling season.

• The blower compartment should be cleaned monthly

during the heating and cooling seasons to remove any dirt
and lint that may have accumulated in the compartment
or on the blower and motor. Buildup of dirt and lint on
