BURNER FAILS TO OPERATE Always call a qualified technician The trouble may be : • Raise your thermostat to 5º C ( 10º F ) above present room temperature • Make sure your “ Oil Burner “ power switch is in the “ON” position • If you hear a hum from the oil burner, and the motor has not started, press the reset button on the burner motor once only. • Blown fuse / “tripped” breaker in electrical panel • Thermostat may be set below room temperature. • Burner relay ( combustion control ) may have to be “reset” ( press reset twice only ) • Oil valve may be closed. • Oil supply may be too low. • Manual reset fan and limit control may be “tripped” • Blocked flue sensor “tripped” • If the oil burner fails to start or runs for only a few seconds, call a qualified service technician OIL FURNACE ANNUAL SERVICE The oil burner and furnace should be thoroughly cleaned and serviced annually by a qualified service tech- nician, and where required by law, a licensed technician. CAUTION: Do not use any commercially available soot remover. Use extreme caution when servicing since the combustion chamber is fragile. Routine cleaning of the flue passages does not require cleaning the combustion chamber. If for some reason, it is necessary to work in the area of the combustion chamber, do not touch or alter the chamber position.

NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT A QUALIFIED MECHANIC OR WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW, A LICENCED MECHANIC ONLY SHOULD PERFORM ALL SERVICE AND CLEANING OF YOUR SUMMERAIRE FURNACE ! SUMMER FAN OPERATION – BELT DRIVE During the summer months, continuous air circulation can be obtained by pulling / sliding the manual fan switch from the “Auto” position to the “On” position. DUAL AIR OPERATION – BELT DRIVE Furnaces equipped with a dual ( 2 ) speed blower system enable partial air circulation at all times. When thermostat calls for heat, the burner starts and the “high” speed phase quickly distributes warmed air throughout the house. When the “high” speed phase ceases, the “low” speed continuous, circulating air to even the temperatures. DUAL AIR OPERATION – DIRECT DRIVE If your SLO115 or SFLO115 furnace is equipped with a DIRECT DRIVE blower assembly; The burner starts and the “high” speed phase quickly distributes warmed air throughout the house. When the “ high “ speed phase ceases, the “low” speed phase continues, circulating the air to even the tempera- tures throughout the house. If the “low” speed feature is not required, operate the small “rocker” switch located on the power junction box. (“Low” speed will not operate )! AIR FILTER This furnace should never be operated without filters. A DIRTY AIR FILTER CAUSES INEFFICIENCY AND HIGHER OPERATING COSTS Clean or replace filters each heating season, or as required.
