FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, ser-

vice, or maintenance can cause injury or property

damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or

additional information consult a qualified installer,

service agency, or the oil supplier.

WARNING

Turn off all the oil supply and electrical power to

furnace before performing any maintenance or

service on unit. Failure to take this precaution may

result in personal injury due to electrical shock or

uncontrolled oil leakage.

The operation and care of your unit is simple and easy. By fol-

lowing these operating and maintenance procedures, you can

expect to receive better, longer, and more reliable service from

your new appliance.

HERE ARE A FEW DO’S AND DO NOT’S

•

become familiar with the instructions.

•

use ﬁlters. Check them periodically and make sure that

they are clean.

•

check to see that your home has adequate insulation,

weatherstripping, caulking, and storm windows. Eliminating in-

ﬁltration of outside air and drafts can save up to 40% of your

fuel bill.

•

DO NOT

waste fuel by setting your thermostat too high. En-

ergy conservation experts recommend daytime thermostat set-

ting of 68

F, with a lower setting at night.

•

DO NOT

turn off the furnace when you expect to be away

for more than a day. Instead, lower the thermostat setting by a

fewdegrees.You canthenrestorenormalcomfortlevelquickly

and save fuel too.

•

DO NOT

block registers with furniture.

•

DO NOT

put a lamp, TV, or radio too near your thermostat.

This will cause it to give a false reading.

Here’s How Your Heating System Works

The furnace operates automatically. It is controlled by a ther-

mostat which you set at the temperature most comfortable to

you. When the inside temperature drops below this setting,

your thermostat will turn on the heating system.

Whenthe thermostat calls for heat, power from the transformer

energizes the fan control board. The fan control energizes the

ignition control. The ignition control will light the burner au-

tomatically.

CAUTION

The ability to properly perform maintenance on

this equipment requires certain mechanical skills

and tools. If you are at all uncertain, contact your

dealer for qualified maintenance and service.

The electronic fan control will automatically turn on the

blower after 30 sec. Fan on control is not adjustable. The air

moved over the heat exchanger by the blower is warmed and

passes through the ducts to the room registers.

Whenthethermostatissatisﬁed,thecircuitisde-energizedand

the primary control shuts off the burner. The blower continues

to run until the selectable fan off time period has expired.

The heat sensing switch performs as the furnace high temper-

ature limit switch. If the furnace overheats for any reason, the

limit switch opens, breaking the circuit to the burner. The

blower motor will be energized and as the unit cools the limit

switch will close. This will relight the burner but unless the

overheating condition is corrected, the furnace will continue to

cycle on limit.

This unit is equipped with an interrupted ignition electronic

control. If the main burner does not ignite within 30 sec from

thecallforheat,thecontrolwillgointolockout.The red button

on top of the control must be depressed for 3 sec in order to

resetthe control.The control CANNOT be reset from theroom

thermostat.

HEATING

Preparing Furnace For Operation

Before attempting to put your furnace into operation for the

heating season, you should perform the following procedures

1. Open all warm air registers and make sure that all return air

grills are unobstructed.

2. If a humidiﬁer is installed with your system, open the water

supply valve.

3. Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.

4. Turn on electric power to the furnace.

5. Open the oil supply valve.

6. Check all connections to ensure there are no leaks.

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a

fire or explosion may result causing property

damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Lighting Your Furnace

1. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which

automatically lights the burner. Do NOT try to light the

burner by hand.

2. After preparing the furnace for heating operation (See pre-

vious section) and checking for oil, proceed as follows.

3. For a heating/cooling system, set the thermostat to HEAT

and the fan to AUTO. Set the thermostat to the desired

room temperature and TURN ON the electrical power to

the furnace.

4. The burner should light and the system should be controlled

by the thermostat.

Turning Off Your Furnace

Follow these simple procedures to put your furnace into retire-

ment for the summer.

1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.

2. TURN OFF all electric power to the appliance.

3. Turn the oil supply OFF.

4. If applicable, TURN OFF water supply to humidiﬁer.

5. If furnace blower will be necessary for cooling system, re-

member to turn electric power backON when needed for air

conditioning.

MAINTAINING YOUR UNIT

The life of your system depends on the care you give it. Proper

care assures good performance; lack of it can damage the unit.

Here are the things you should do, or have your dealer service

technician do for you.

NOTE:

Before you start, TURN OFF all electrical power to

unit and turn thermostat to OFF.

CAUTION

This furnace is equipped with an interrupted type

electronic ignition system. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

LIGHT WITH A MATCH.

DANGER!

HIGH VOLTAGE AT IGNITOR.

Filters

A ﬁlter is supplied with the furnace (except 58BGA). It is

NECESSARY THAT ALL FURNACES BE EQUIPPED

WITH A FILTER.

If a different type of ﬁlter is used, it must be an equivalent high

airﬂow capacity

Keeping Filters Clean

As a homeowner, this is your most important responsibility.A

dirty ﬁlter reduces the efﬁciency of your system, causes erratic

performance of controls, and could result in damage to the mo-

tor or heat exchanger.

1. Inspect ﬁlters at regular intervals depending upon dirt con-

ditions. For new homes, check ﬁlters every week for 4 con-

secutiveweeks. In all cases, inspect yourﬁltersatleast every

3 to 4 weeks when the system is in constant operation. Re-

place or clean ﬁlter at least at the beginning of each season

(heating & cooling) and thereafter as needed.

2. If the permanent ﬁlter supplied with the unit becomes dirty,

it can be cleaned with cold water and soap.

Be sure that the ﬁlter is thoroughly dry before installing back

into the furnace.

Lubricating Motors

Direct drive motor and blower assemblies are factory lubri-

cated and normally do not require oiling. If oiling is required,

lubrication of the blower motor is to be performed only by a

qualiﬁed service agency.

WARNING

Never operate unit without a filter or with filter ac-

cess door removed. Failure to adhere to this warn-

ing could lead to a hazardous condition which

could lead to equipment damage and bodily harm.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, speciﬁcations or designs without notice and without incurring obligations

Here is A Handy Checklist

If your furnace fails to operate properly, ﬁrst check the follow-

ing. It may save you the cost of a service call:

1. Is your room thermostat set correctly? On heating/cooling

systems, the thermostat should be turned to HEAT or COOL

and the fan set to AUTO or CONT (continuous fan opera-

tion).

2. Are the power and oil supplies both ON?

3. Are the ﬁlters clean?

If the answer to these questions is YES and the furnace still

does not operate properly, call your authorized dealer for

service.

CAUTION

A furnace that is installed in an insulated space

must be kept free and clear of insulating materials.

After the furnace is installed, or whenever addi-

tional insulation is added, check that all combus-

tion air intakes are free and clear and that all

clearance dimensions are maintained. INSULAT-

ING MATERIALS MAY BE COMBUSTIBLE.

WARNING

Do not use this furnace if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the furnace and to replace any part

of the control system and any oil control which

has been under water. Failure to comply with this

warning could lead to equipment failure, electrical

shock, and a hazardous condition which may lead

to bodily harm.

WARNING

The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or

unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal

injury if an electrical fault should occur. This may

consist of electrical wire or approved conduit

when installed in accordance with existing electri-

cal codes. Do not use oil piping as an electrical

ground. Failure to follow this warning could result

in an electrical shock, fire, or bodily harm.

WARNING

Return air must not be taken from the room in

which the appliance is installed. All duct connec-

tions to the furnace must be airtight to avoid a

“negative” pressure condition within the room. In-

correct ductwork termination and sealing will cre-

ate a hazardous condition which could lead to

bodily harm.
