3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring

following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move
or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
If you come in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat
step 2 before touching control or wires.

4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new

control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if

OCKOUT

Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve igni-
tion after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is character-
ized by a non-functioning furnace and a one flash diagnostic LED
code. If the furnace is in “lockout”, it will (or can be) reset in any of
the following ways.

1. Automatic reset. The integrated control module will

automatically reset itself and attempt to resume normal
operations following a one hour lockout period.

2. Manual power interruption. Interrupt 115 volt power to the

furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.

3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that

there is no longer a call for heat then reset to previous setting.
Interrupt thermostat signal to the furnace for 1 - 20 seconds.

NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to Section XVIII,
Troubleshooting - Diagnostic Chart
for aid in determining the cause.

INSPECTION

The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or service
agency at least once per year. This check should be performed at
the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure that all fur-
nace components are in proper working order and that the heating
system functions appropriately. Pay particular attention to the fol-
lowing items. Repair or service as necessary.

Flue pipe system. Check for blockage and/or leakage. Check
the outside termination and the connections at and internal
to the furnace.

Heat exchanger. Check for corrosion and/or buildup within
the heat exchanger passageways.

Burners. Check for proper ignition, burner flame, and flame
sense.

Drainage system. Check for blockage and/or leakage.
Check hose connections at and internal to furnace.

Wiring. Check electrical connections for tightness and/or
corrosion. Check wires for damage.

AINTENANCE

Improper filter maintenance is the most common cause of inad-
equate heating or cooling performance. Filters should be cleaned
(permanent) or replaced (disposable) every two months or as re-
quired. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a filter of
the same type and size.

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 Recommended Minimum Filter size table 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. For further details, see your distributor.
