PERFORMING ROUTINE 
MAINTENANCE
 
NOTE:
 
 The qualified installer or agency must use only 
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories 
when modifying this product.
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazard-
ous due to gas and electrical components. 
Only trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or 
service heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform 
basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing 
air filters. 
All other operations must be performed by trained and qual-
ified service agency personnel. Observe safety precautions in 
this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace, 
and other safety precautions that may apply.
With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate 
economically and dependably. Installations for basic mainte-
nance are found on this and the following pages. However, 
before beginning maintenance, follow these safety precautions:
 
FILTERING OUT TROUBLE
 
A dirty air filter will cause a loss of airflow in your duct 
system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the furnace 
may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unat-
tended, the furnace will eventually lock out. It is recom-
mended that the furnace air filter be checked every 3 or 4 
weeks and cleaned if necessary.
If installed with a factory-specified disposable media filter, 
check or replace filter before each heating and cooling sea-
son. Replace disposable filter at least once a year.
The air filter is normally located in the blower compartment. 
(See Fig. 2.)  If air filter has been installed in another location, 
contact your dealer for instructions. To inspect, clean and/or 
replace the air filter(s), follow these steps:
1. Turn off the electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 16.)
2. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 18.)
3. Remove blower access panel. (See Fig. 19.)
 
NOTE: 
 
It will be necessary to remove 2 screws.
4. Remove air filter from furnace.
•AIR FILTER(S) LOCATED IN END OF FURNACE:
a. Slide filter retainer sideways until it is free of latch. (See 
Fig. 20.)
b. Slide air filter out of furnace. (See Fig. 21.)

CAUTION
 
Furnace is not to be installed, operated, and then
turned off and left turned off in an unoccupied
structure during winter. (See “Heading South for
the Winter” procedures in maintenance section on
page 9). Freeze damage to furnace would occur.
 
WARNING
 
Turn off electrical power supply to your furnace
before removing the main furnace door to service
or perform maintenance. Failure to follow this
warning could result in personal injury/death or
property damage.
 
CAUTION
 
Although special care has been taken to minimize
sharp edges, be extremely careful when handling
parts or reaching into the furnace. Failure to follow
this caution would result in minor personal injury.

CAUTION
 
Never operate your furnace without a filter in place.
Doing so may damage the furnace blower motor.
An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts
of your furnace can cause a loss of efficiency and
would cause minor property or product damage.
