IV. Inspection of Furnace (Qualified
Servicer Only)
WARNING
To avoid death or personal injury due to
shock or burns, the following procedures
must be followed exactly, in sequence, be-
fore inspecting this furnace.
1. Close gas shut-off valve.
2. Disconnect electrical power to furnace.
3. To allow the furnace to cool, wait 15
minutes before proceeding.
Inspection Procedures
•
Vacuum the burner vestibule annually.
•
Burners, mounting brackets and all other parts in the
vestibule area for signs of deterioration.
•
PVC flue pipe for leaks and holes (the PVC flue pipe
must slope upward away from the furnace).
•
PVC flue outlet and air inlet (some models) for restric-
tion (wasp nests, etc.) and general condition.
•
Return air connection to the furnace for soundness,
proper sealing to the furnace casing and terminating
outside the space containing the furnace.
•
Physical support of the furnace for proper seal between
the support and the base, without any sagging, cracks
or gaps, etc.
•
Burner operation. After reconnecting electrical power and
gas to the furnace, set room thermostat to maximum
setting to operate the furnace. Inspect the main burner
flames. Natural gas flames should be stable, soft and
blue. Propane gas flames may appear slightly yellow.
Dust may cause orange tips. Flame must extend directly
outward from the burner without curling, floating, or lift-
ing off. On the GUD furnace only, the flames can be
inspected through the sight glass on the front cover. Only
a qualified servicer should ever remove the cover. (Fig-
ure 15)
Check the burner flames for:
1. Good adjustment
2. Stable, soft and blue
3. Not curling, floating, or lifting off.
