Bryant GAS-FIRED INDUCED-COMBUSTION FURNACE 393AAV - Manual (Page 4)

If it becomes necessary to clean the heat exchanger because of dust
or corrosion, proceed as follows:
1. Turn gas and electrical power to furnace OFF.
2. Remove control access door.
3. Disconnect vent connector from furnace flue collar.
4. Remove 2 screws that secure relief box. (See Fig. 2.)
5. Disconnect wires to the following components. Mark wires
to aid in reconnection of:
a. Blocked vent safeguard switch.
b. Inducer motor.
c. Pressure switch.
d. Limit overtemperature switch(es).
e. Gas valve.
f. Hot surface igniter.
g. Flame-sensing electrode.
h. Flame rollout switch(es), if applicable.
6. Remove complete inducer assembly and relief box from
furnace.
7. Remove 8 screws that secure flue collector box to center
panel. Be careful not to damage collector box.
8. Remove burner assembly and cell inlet plates. IMPOR-
TANT: Replace screws in center panel and cells before
cleaning.
NOTE: Be careful when removing burner assembly to avoid
breaking igniter. See Fig. 4 for correct igniter location.
9. Using field-provided small wire brush, steel spring cable,
reversible electric drill, and vacuum cleaner, clean cells as
follows:
a. Assemble wire brush and steel spring cable.
(1.) Use 48 in. of 1/4-in. diameter high-grade steel
spring cable (commonly known as drain clean-out
or Roto-Rooter® cable).
(2.) Use 1/4-in. diameter wire brush (commonly known
as 25-caliber rifle cleaning brush).
NOTE: The materials needed in (1.) and (2.) can usually be
purchased at local hardware stores.
(3.) Insert twisted wire end of brush into end of spring
cable, and crimp tight with crimping tool or strike
with ball-peen hammer. TIGHTNESS IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
(4.) Remove metal screw fitting from wire brush to
allow insertion into cable.
b. Clean each heat exchanger cell.
(1.) Attach variable-speed, reversible drill to end of
spring cable (end opposite brush).
(2.) Insert brush end of cable into upper opening of cell
and slowly rotate with drill. DO NOT force cable.
Gradually insert at least 36 in. of cable into 2 upper
passes of cell. (See Fig. 3.)
(3.) Work cable in and out of cell 3 or 4 times to obtain
sufficient cleaning. DO NOT pull cable with great
force. Reverse drill and gradually work cable out.
(4.) Insert brush end of cable in lower opening of cell,
and proceed to clean 2 lower passes of cell in same
manner as 2 upper passes.
(5.) Repeat foregoing procedures until each cell in
furnace has been cleaned.
(6.) Using vacuum cleaner, remove residue from each
cell.
(7.) Using vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment,
clean burner assembly.
(8.) Reinstall cell inlet plates and burner assembly. Care
must be exercised to center burners in cell openings.
10. Clean flame sensor with fine steelwool.
11. Remove old sealant from center panel and collector box
flange and apply new sealant to collector box flange and
reinstall on center panel, making sure all 8 screws are
secure.
NOTE: A releasing agent such as PAM cooking spray or equiva-
lent (must not contain corn or canola oil, aromatic or halogenated
hydrocarbons or inadequate seal may occur) and RTV sealant
(G.E. 162, 6702, or Dow-Corning 738) are needed before starting
installation. DO NOT substitute any other type of RTV sealant.
G.E. 162 (P771-9003) is available through RCD in 3-oz. tubes.
12. Reinstall relief box and inducer assembly.
NOTE: If inducer assembly gasket is damaged, use RTV sealant
to seal inducer assembly to collector box.
NOTE: A releasing agent such as PAM cooking spray or equiva-
lent (must not contain corn or canola oil, aromatic or halogenated
hydrocarbons or inadequate seal may occur) and RTV sealant
(G.E. 162, 6702, or Dow-Corning 738) are needed before starting
installation. DO NOT substitute any other type of RTV sealant.
G.E. 162 (P771-9003) is available through RCD in 3-oz. tubes.
13. Reconnect wires to the following components.
a. Blocked vent safeguard switch.
b. Inducer motor.
c. Pressure switch.
d. Limit overtemperature switch(es).
e. Gas valve.
f. Hot surface igniter.
g. Flame-sensing electrode.
h. Flame rollout switch(es), if applicable.
14. Reinstall vent connector on furnace flue collar. After fully
assembling vent connector to furnace flue collar, securely
fasten vent connector to flue collar with 2 field-supplied,
corrosion-resistant, sheet metal screws located 180° apart
and midway up the collar.
15. Turn electrical power and gas to ON.
16. Set thermostat and check furnace for proper operation.
17. Verify blower airflow and speed changes between heating
and cooling.
18. Check for gas leaks.
