FIGURE 25 - Clean Heat
Exchanger Air Bafes
When cleaning outer heat
exchanger surface, remove the
air bafes in the heat exchanger
individually.
Remove Screws "A" and slide
each bafe out. Clean all bafes
and re-install.
Inner Surface - The inner surfaces (combustion air side) of the heat exchanger can
be reached for cleaning with the burner rack removed. (See Paragraph 10.2.3.) An
air hose, an 18-24" long, 1/2" diameter furnace brush (or heavy wire with steel wool
securely attached), a ashlight, and a mirror are needed.
The furnace has "V" shaped bafes in the top of each heat exchanger tube. Follow the
instructions in FIGURE 30 to remove the "V" bafes when cleaning the inner surfaces
of the heat exchanger. NOTE: Furnaces manufactured prior to 3/95 may not have heat
exchanger "V" bafes.
Clean the inner surfaces of the heat exchanger from beneath using the brush to "scrub"
the tube walls to remove any accumulated dust, rust and/or soot. Clean the "V" tubes
and re-assemble the heat exchanger and the furnace.
Check the furnace for proper operation.
Instructions to Remove Heat Exchanger
"V" Bafes:
1) Remove the screws (the number varies
depending on unit size) along the bottom
of the front bafe and the three on each
end Slide the front bafe out of the
furnace.
2) Remove the screws that attach the tube
bafe hold-down plate to the rear ue
bafe.
3) Pull the "V" bafes out of the heat
exchanger.
