months or as required. When replacing a filter, it must be
replaced with a filter of the same type and size.
Filter Removal
Depending on the installation, differing filter arrangements
can be applied. Filters can be installed in either the central
return register or a side panel external filter rack (upflow only).
A media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as an
alternate filter. Follow the filter sizes given in the Recom-
mended Minimum Filter size table 7 on page 25 to ensure
proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright
upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external
filter rack kit.
Horizontal Unit Filter Removal
Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return
register or the ductwork near the furnace.
To remove:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from the central return register or
ductwork.
3. Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.
4. Turn ON electrical power to furnace.
Media Air Filter or Electronic Air Cleaner Removal
Follow the manufacturer's directions for service.

Burner

The Ultra Low NOx furnace uses a premix burner. The burner
box is sealed to achieve safe and reliable operation.

Induced Draft and Circulator Blowers

The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower
motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No
further lubrication is required. Check motor windings for
accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean
as necessary.
Condensate Trap and Drain System (Qualified Ser-
vicer Only)
Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-sup-
plied drain line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain
system for hose connection tightness, blockage, and leaks.
Clean or repair as necessary.

Flame Sensor (Qualified Servicer Only)

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a
nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating
acts as an insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal.
If the flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not
sense flame and will lock out. The flame sensor should be
carefully cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth
or steel wool. Following cleaning, the flame sense signal
should be as indicated in the Specifications Sheet.

Flue Passages (Qualified Servicer Only)

The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected
at the beginning of each heating season.
