NOTE:
These chemicals or fumes are present in many products around the home, such as: water softener salts, any type of household cleaning product, any type of laundry product, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes and plastics, etc.
During remodeling be sure the combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers and metal vent system may deteriorate.
NOTE:
The qualified installer or agency must use only factory−authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories when modifying this product.
This furnace contains safety devices which must be manually reset. If the furnace is left unattended for an extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See "Before You Request a Service Call" section in this manual.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in injury, death, or property damage. Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace. |
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow warnings could result in personal injury, death, or property damage. Keep insulation clear of furnace and maintain clearances shown on unit clearance label. |
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning or replacing air filters. All other operations must be performed by trained service personnel. Observe safety precautions in this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace, and other safety precautions that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety−alert symbol . When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the safety−alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability or operation.
Examine the furnace installation to determine that:
Your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat signals the furnace to start.
Follow these important safeguards:
Never attempt to manually light the burners with a match or other source of flame.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or property damage. Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace BEFORE shutting off the electrical supply and install lockout tag. |
NOTE:
If the main burners fail to ignite, the furnace control system will go through three more ignition cycles. Then if burners fail to ignite, the system will lockout. If lockout occurs or the blower does not come on, shut down your furnace and call your dealer for service.
When the room temperature drops below the temperature selected on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on automatically. When the room temperature reaches the setting selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be automatically switched off.
Continuous Fan Operation −Some thermostats have a "FAN" switch with 2 selections: AUTO and ON. When thermostat is set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on and off, controlled by the thermostat. In ON position, the furnace blower runs continuously except for a 42−62 sec delay at the "call for heat." Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your home more evenly balanced. It also continuously filters the indoor air.
Comfort Fan −On all but the 58STA or 58STX, the continuous fan blower speed can be increased or decreased if desired due to change of seasons, large gatherings in your home, etc. Simply change your "FAN" switch from "on" to "off" (or "auto" depending on your thermostat), and then return to "on", within 1 to 3 seconds. The blower will switch to the next highest speed. There are at least 3 speeds to choose from. If the blower is running on its highest speed, a request to change will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.
Should you ever suspect a malfunction in your furnace, you will need to turn the furnace off. The following procedures must be followed:
With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate economically and dependably. Instructions for basic maintenance are found on this and the following pages. However, before beginning maintenance, follow these safety precautions:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. |
CUT HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury. |
UNIT PERFORMANCE HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in product damage. |
A dirty filter will cause excessive stress on the furnace, heat exchanger, and blower motor and can cause it to overheat and automatically shut down. The furnace filter should be checked every 4 weeks and cleaned or replaced if necessary.
If installed with factory specified disposable media filter, check or replace filter before each heating and cooling season. Replace disposable media filter at least twice a year.
If your furnace filter needs replacing, be sure to use the same size and type of filter that was originally specified.
The air filter for the furnace may be located in a filter cabinet/rack attached to the side or bottom of the furnace. If air filter has been installed in another location, contact your dealer for instructions. To inspect, clean and/or replace the air filter(s), follow these steps:
NOTE:
If side return ducts are used, two (2) filters may be required in some models. The procedure listed above may be used to remove side filters.
Representative drawing only, some model may vary.
