Maintenance 
(See back  of the  manual for maintenance 
log) 
At least once each year, a trained, qualified 
service technician should check out the unit. 
Fans, evaporator coils, and filters should be 
inspected at least monthly. 
Gas Heating 
Make  sure  all gas  supply  lines have  been 
purged of air before turning on the electrical 
power switch. Turn the gas valve to the on 
position  (see startup  instructions).  Turn  the 
main electrical power on and set the controls 
to the heating mode of operation. 
The  combustion  ventilation  motor  should 
operate.  The  control  will  automatically 
supply  energy  to  the  igniter  and  the  gas 
valve after the heating call is made. 
The  flame  sensing  probe  detects  the 
presence of  the  flame.  Should  no  flame  be 
detected in 10 seconds, the ignition system 
will recycle. If no flame is detected after 3 
tries, ignition system will lockout. 
Remove the call for heating. The main gas 
valves should be extinguished. 
The  supply  fans  are  controlled  by  the 
ignition system. In the fan “Auto” mode the 
fan comes on 45 seconds after the flame is 
proved  and  goes  off  120  seconds  after  the 
heating call is removed. 
Furnace combustion ventilation air and flue 
openings  should  be  checked  annually  for 
debris  and  obstructions.  If  vent  extensions 
are  used  they  must  meet  category  III 
requirements. 
This appliance contains a wire screen at the 
vent  outlet. Each  heating  season, prior  to 
placing  the  appliance  in  heat  mode 
maintenance check that no debris or foreign 
matter has accumulated in the vent outlet. A 
good practice  is to  check for  debris each 
time the air filters are changed. 
In the event the vent outlet becomes blocked 
do not attempt to start the appliance in heat 
mode  until  the  entire  vent  opening  is 
cleared. 
In the event the unit shut down because the 
vent  was  blocked  a  qualified  technician  or 
service agency should monitor the unit prior 
to re-starting. 
The  gas  burner  and  heat  exchanger  should 
never  require  cleaning.  If  cleaning  is 
necessary, this indicates faulty operation of 
the unit. Cleaning should only be done by a 
qualified  service  agency  and  only  after 
consultation  with  an  AAON  service 
representative. 
Once  a  year,  before  the  unit  is  in 
operation  for  the  heating  season,  a 
qualified  service  technician  should 
inspect all flue product carrying areas 
of  the  furnace  and  main  burners  for 
continued safe operation. 
   WARNING 
LEAK CHECK GAS PIPE 
The  gas pipe  in the  unit  should  be 
checked  for  leaks  before  startup. 
Leak checking is the responsibility of 
the  installing  contractor.  All 
connections  should  be  checked  for 
leaks  annually  after  installation. 
Failure  to  leak  check  could  result  in 
fire,  explosion,  or  other  hazardous 
situations.
