Winterization - Tempstar (F/G)9MAC0601714A Service And Technical Support Manual

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT MANUAL
improper gas, or a restricted heat exchanger (primary or
secondary). Action must be taken to correct the problem.
1. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
2. Remove control door.
3. Disconnect wires or connectors to flame rollout switch,
gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
4. Using backup wrench, disconnect gas supply pipe from
furnace gas control valve.
5. Remove two screws attaching top filler panel and rotate
upwards to gain access to screws attaching burner
assembly to cell panel.
6. Remove screws attaching burner assembly to cell panel.
(See Figure 9)
NOTE: Burner assembly, cover, manifold, gas valve, and
burner assembly should be removed as one assembly.
7. Clean heat exchanger openings with a vacuum and a
soft brush. (See Figure 12)
NOTE: After cleaning, inspect the heat exchangers to ensure
they are free of all foreign objects that may restrict flow of
combustion products.
8. Reverse items 6 through 1 for reassembly.
9. Refer to furnace wiring diagram and reconnect wires to
flame rollout switch, gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
10. Turn on gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
11. Check furnace operation through 2 complete heat
operating cycles. Look through sight glass in burner
enclosure to check burners. Burner flames should be
clear blue, almost transparent. (See Figure 13)

WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of
leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
12. Check for gas leaks.
13. Replace control door.
Secondary Heat Exchangers
The condensing side (inside) of the secondary heat exchanger
CANNOT be serviced or inspected without complete removal of
the heat exchanger assembly. Detailed information on heat
exchanger removal can be obtained from your Distributor.

Winterization

UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit
component or property damage.
If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space
where the ambient temperatures may be 32_ F (0_ C) or
lower, freeze protection measures must be taken to
prevent property or product damage.
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some
water will accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer
process. Therefore, once it has been operated, it cannot be
turned off and left off for an extended period of time when
temperatures will reach 32_F (0_C) or lower unless winterized.
Follow these procedures to winterize your furnace:
UNIT COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the
furnace and other property damage.
Do not use ethylene glycol (automotive antifreeze
coolant or equivalent). Failure of plastic components
may occur.
1. Obtain propylene glycol (RV/swimming pool antifreeze or
equivalent).
2. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to your furnace.
3. Remove furnace control door.
4. Remove the top unused rubber plug from the port on the
collector box opposite the condensate trap. (See
Burner
Figure 1)
5. Connect a field supplied 3/8−in. (9.5−mm) ID tube to the
open port on the collector box
6. Insert a field supplied funnel into the tube.
7. Pour one quart of anti−freeze solution into the
funnel/tube. Antifreeze should run through the collector
box, overfill condensate trap and flow to an open drain.
8. Replace the rubber plug in the port on the collector box.
9. Remove the middle unused rubber plug from the port on
A11461
the collector box opposite the condensate trap. See
Figure 1.
10. Repeat Steps 5 through 8.
11. If a condensate pump is used, check with pump
manufacturer to verify pump is safe for use with
antifreeze used. Allow pump to start and pump
anti−freeze to open drain.
12. Replace main door.
13. When furnace is re−started, flush condensate pump with
clear water to check for proper operation before
re−starting furnace.
14. Propylene glycol need not be removed before re−starting
furnace.
