Visually inspect the burner flames periodically during the heat-
ing season. Turn on the furnace at the thermostat and allow
several minutes for flames to stabilize, since any dislodged
dust will alter the flames normal appearance. Flames should
be stable, quiet, soft, and blue (dust may cause orange tips
but they must not be yellow). They should extend directly
outward from the burners without curling, floating, or lifting off.
Flames must not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger
firing tubes.

The bearings in the induced draft blower and circulator blower
motors are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer. No fur-
ther lubrication is required. Check motor windings for accumu-
lation of dust which may cause overheating. Clean as neces-
sary.

Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a
nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts
as an insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the
flame sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense
flame and will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully
cleaned by a qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool.
Following cleaning, the flame sense signal should be as indi-
cated in the Specifications Sheet.

5. Clean the primary heat exchanger tubes using a wire
brush attached to a length of high grade stainless steel
cable, such as drain cleanout cable. Attach a variable
speed reversible drill to the other end of the cable. Slowly
rotate the cable with the drill and insert it into one of the
heat exchanger tubes. While reversing the drill, work
the cable in and out several times to obtain sufficient
cleaning. Repeat for each tube.
