Service

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or
property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera-
tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to
furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis-
connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, a licensed profes-
sional technician (or equivalent) should check the system
as follows:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing
life. No further lubrication is needed.
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju-
ry or death.
Filters
All SL280DFV filters are installed external to the unit. Fil-
ters should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the fil-
ters when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates
properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high veloc-
ity airflow. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.
Flue And Chimney
1 − Check flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight-
ness and to make sure there is no blockage.
2 − Check unit for proper draft.
Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-
er access panel in place.

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE − Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur-
nace during cleaning.
1 − Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur-
nace.
2 − Remove flue pipe, top cap, flue chase and internal flue
pipe assembly from the unit.
3 − Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima-
ry limit switch and make−up box then disconnect them.
4 − Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in-
ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box.
Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid
damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must
be replaced to prevent leakage.
5 − Remove the collector box located behind the combus-
tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas-
ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to
prevent leakage.
6 − Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the screw se-
curing the burner box cover and remove cover. Re-
move the four screws securing the burner manifold as-
sembly to the vestibule panel and remove the
assembly from the unit.
7 − Remove screws securing burner box and remove
burner box.
8 − Remove screws from both sides, top and bottom of
vestibule panel.
9 − Remove heat exchanger. It may be necessary to
spread cabinet side to allow more room. If so, remove
five screws from the left side or right side of cabinet.
See figure 31.
10− Back wash using steam. Begin from the burner opening
on each clam. Steam must not exceed 275°F.
11− To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in-
side the burners and crossovers for any blockage
caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure
30 shows burner detail.
