FILTER MAINTENANCE
Have your qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier instruct you
on how to access your filters for
regular maintenance.
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS
WITHOUT FILTERS. A PORTION OF
THE DUST ENTRAINED IN THE AIR
MAY TEMPORARILY LODGE IN THE
AIR DUCT RUNS AND AT THE
SUPPLY REGISTERS. ANY
RECIRCULATED DUST PARTICLES
WILL BE HEATED AND CHARRED
BY CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE
HEAT EXCHANGER. THIS RESIDUE
WILL SOIL CEILINGS, WALLS,
DRAPES, CARPETS AND OTHER
HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES AND MAY
RESULT IN UNPLEASANT ODORS.
TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO
FURNACE BEFORE REMOVING
FRONT ACCESS DOOR. FAILURE
TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Keep air filters clean at all times.
Vacuum dirt from filter, wash with
detergent and water, air dry thoroughly
and reinstall.
After filters are cleaned and returned to
the furnace, be sure doors are properly
reinstalled. If you are not totally sure of
this procedure, consult a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
REMOVING FILTERS
UPFLOW FURNACE - FILTER IN
BOTTOM OR SIDE LOCATION
1. Remove the blower compartment
access door.
2. Disengage the filter retaining rod
and pull filter out.
3. Clean filter and reinstall.
4. Replace the blower compartment
access door.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance must be
provided by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier
ONLY.
LUBRICATION
The blower motor and induced draft
motor are prelubricated by the
manufacturer and do not require
further attention.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to
lubricate the bearings on the blower
motor or the induced draft blower
motor. Addition of lubricants can
reduce the motor life and void the
warranty.
DISCONNECT MAIN ELECTRICAL
POWER TO THE UNIT BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT
IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The blower compartment and motor
should be inspected and cleaned
periodically by your qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier to
prevent the possibility of overheating
due to an accumulation of dust and dirt
on the windings, on the motor exterior,
and the air filters. Dirty filters can
restrict airflow. The motor depends
upon sufficient air flowing across and
through it to keep from overheating.
