Blocked Vent ShutoffPressure Switch Check:
To check the operation of the vent safety switch (PI), remove
the inlet pipe from the air inlet connector and remove the exhaust
vent from the induced draft motor vent coupling. Place the furnace
into operation. Gradually cover up the air inlet; the main burners
should shut OFF. Remove the restriction and the unit should
relight. Repeat the procedure, restricting the vent coupling outlet.
Replace the vent piping and reseal the opened joints as required.
Blocked Drain Safety Pressure Switch Check:
The blocked drain safety switch (P2) has only one tube
connected to it. To check the operation of the blocked drain safety
switch, place the unit into operation and gradually pinch the tube
closed. The unit should shut OFF. Release the restriction on the
tubing and the unit should retight.
The operational checkout is now complete. Be sure to adjust
the thermostat to the desired setting and inform the homeowner
how to operate the furnace system before leaving the job site.

a brush.
9. A visual check of the main burner and pilot flame should be
made at the beginning of each heating season. See Figure
2.12 for proper pilot flame.
10. Check the input rate and adjust if necessary.
11. Perform a safety check of the limit control and blocked vent
shutoff switches and the blocked drain shut off switch.
12. Check the air filter, clean and/or replace as necessary.
13. Periodic cleaning of condensing coil and drain lines maybe

Combustion Component Check:
The heat exchanger, gas burners and venting system must
be checked each year, prior to the heating season, by a qualified
dealer/serviceman.
The following procedures should be performed:
1. Remove appropriate access panel or door (see Figure 1.16).
2. Remove the burner/manifold assembly from the furnace,
following the instructions found on this page.
3. Place the burner/manifold assembly on a flat work area and
vacuum the burners. It might be necessary to use a soft
bristly brush to remove dirt and then vacuum. While
manifold assembly is out, check pilot location.
4. Remove the burner opening inlet plate and the flue collector
box. This will expose both the burner and flue openings of
the primary heat exchangers.
5. Vacuum the length of each heat exchanger tube using a
straight attachment into the burner openings and the flue
openings.
6. Replace the flue collector box, burner opening inlet plate,
and burner/manifold assembly. Insure that all gaskets are
properly positioned and that no leaks exist.
Manifold (or Burner/Manifold) Removal/Replacement:
1. Make sure that all utilities (gas and electricity) are turned
off upstream of the furnace.
2. Remove the louvered access panel by sliding the panel
straight up, swinging the bottom of the panel away from the
furnace, and pulling the panel down and out of the furnace.
3. Disconnect the gas line from the gas valve. Be sure that a
wiring diagram is available, or be ready to mark any wires
that are disconnected. Unplug the four wire connector from
the gas valve.
