2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace away from the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not
move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects,
etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded object,
repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.

Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart in the back of this manual
for assistance in determining the source of unit operational prob-
lems. The dual 7-segment LED display will display an error code
that may contain a letter and number. The error code may be

ESETTING ROM OCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve igni-
tion after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is char-
acterized by a non-functioning furnace and a E 0 code displayed
on the dual 7-segment display. If the furnace is in "lockout", it
will (or can be) reset in any of the following ways.
1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will
automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal
operations following a one hour lockout period.
2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 115 volt power to
the furnace.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that
there is no longer a call for heat for 1 -20 seconds then
reset to previous setting.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart for aid in determining the cause.

NNUAL NSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or ser-
vice agency at least once per year. This check should be per-
formed at the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure
that all furnace components are in proper working order and
that the heating system functions appropriately. Pay particular
attention to the following items. Repair or service as necessary.
• Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check the outside termination and the connections at
and internal to the furnace.
• Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup
within the heat exchanger passageways.
• Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and
flame sense.
• Drainage system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check hose connections at and internal to furnace.
• Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/
or corrosion. Check wires for damage.
•

Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inad-
equate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be cleaned
(permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months or as
required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a
filter of the same type and size.

ILTER EMOVAL
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 alter-
nate filter. Follow the filter sizes given in the Recommended
Minimum Filter size table to ensure proper unit performance.
