This tap is provided in the upper burner mounting plate. To measure the flue draft, punch a small hole in the vent connector pipe as close to the furnace as possible and always before the draft regulator.

TWO PIECE MOUNTING PLATE Fig. 4: Typical location of the overfire air tap Fig. 5: (Top view) Burner insertion illustration When mounting the burner, the upper mounting plate (Fig. 4) must be removed to provide access to the area in front of the combustion chamber.
For these reasons, we suggest the use of a 3M 9900, 3M 8710 or equivalent mask when working with any ceramic fiber products.

B. MIDCO RE32 BURNER ADJUSTMENT In order to properly set-up a furnace with a Midco RE32 burner, Thermo Pride’s recommendation is to utilize Midco’s instruction together with combustion equipment and a carbon monoxide detector. It must be emphasized that the gas equipment is operating properly and safely requires combustion equipment and a carbon monoxide detector.
This would typically only occur in the LP units. Opening the air adjustment screw should reduce the carbon from the combustion process. In summary, setting the combustion air on the Thermo Pride Midco RE32 power gas conversion burner is extremely critical. This adjustment should only be made by following these instructions and confirming the set-up with the proper combustion analyzer.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. One way to measure the temperature rise across the furnace is to insert temperature measuring devices (e.g. thermometers) into the return air duct and into the supply air duct about 12 inches from the furnace.
B. FAN AND LIMIT POSITION AND LOCATION cWARNING: The predetermined fan and limit locations on all of the Thermo Pride gas fired furnaces have been tested and approved by Thermo Products, LLC. Any attempt to relocate these safety controls or replace these safety controls with a control that is not approved, or is incompatible, may result in personal injury, substantial property damage or death.

With access to the inside of the heat exchanger through the burner area, clean-out openings, and vent pipe connection, it is possible to use a long, flexible wire brush and an industrial type vacuum cleaner to remove any soot build-up.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. After completing the installation, the installer shall inform and/or demonstrate to the homeowner: The location of all the instructions in the furnace and that these instructions and the users information manual must be kept along with instructions for any accessories in the plastic pouch on the inside of the furnace.
