months or as required.  When replacing a filter, it must be 

replaced with a filter of the same type and size.

Filter Removal

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 

alternate filter.  Follow the filter sizes given in the Recom

-

mended Minimum Filter size table 7 on page 25 to ensure 

proper unit performance.
To remove filters from an external filter rack in an upright 

upflow installation, follow the directions provided with external 

filter rack kit.

Horizontal Unit Filter Removal

Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return 

register or the ductwork near the furnace.
To remove:

1.  Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.

2.  Remove  filter(s)  from  the  central  return  register  or 

ductwork.

3.  Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.

4.  Turn ON electrical power to furnace.

Media Air Filter or Electronic Air Cleaner Removal

Follow the manufacturer’s directions for service.

Burner

The Ultra Low NOx furnace uses a premix burner. The burner 

box is sealed to achieve safe and reliable operation.

Induced Draft and Circulator Blowers

The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower 

motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No 

further  lubrication  is  required.    Check  motor  windings  for 

accumulation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean 

as necessary.

Condensate Trap and Drain System (Qualified Ser

-

vicer Only)

Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-sup

-

plied drain line for proper condensate drainage.  Check drain 

system for hose connection tightness, blockage, and leaks.  

Clean or repair as necessary.

Flame Sensor (Qualified Servicer Only)

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a 

nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor.  This coating 

acts as an insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal.  

If the flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not 

sense flame and will lock out.  The flame sensor should be 

carefully cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth 

or steel wool.  Following cleaning, the flame sense signal 

should be as indicated in the Specifications Sheet.

Flue Passages (Qualified Servicer Only)

The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected 

at the beginning of each heating season.   

Before Leaving an Installation

• 

Cycle the furnace with the thermostat at least three 

times.  Verify cooling and fan only operation.

• 

Review the Owner’s Manual with the homeowner and 

discuss proper furnace operation and maintenance.

• 

Leave literature packet near furnace.

Repair and Replacement Parts

• 

When ordering any of the listed functional parts, be 

sure to provide the furnace model, manufacturing, and 

serial numbers with the order.

• 

Although only functional parts are shown in the parts 

list, all sheet metal parts, doors, etc. may be ordered 

by description.
