SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing of heating
equipment can be hazardous due to
oil and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified person-
nel should install, repair, or service
heating equipment.
STARTING YOUR
FURNACE
This appliance is equipped with an
ignition device which automatical-
ly lights the burner each time the
thermostat starts your furnace. Fol-
low these important safe-
guards:
Untrained personnel can perform
basic maintenance functions such as
cleaning and replacing air filters. All
other operations must be performed
by trained service personnel.

WARNING
• Combustion air must be clean and attached to the furnace and other
not contaminated with chlorine or safety precautions that may apply.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning
could result in property dam-
age or personal injury or
death.

present in many products around
the home, such as: water softener

This is the safety-alert symbol
.
When you see this symbol on the
furnace and in instructions or man-
uals, be alert to the potential for
personal injury.
Make sure the combustion air for
your furnace does not contain any
of these compounds. During re-
modeling be sure the combustion
air is fresh and uncontaminated. If
air with vapors of these com-
pounds is burned in your furnace,
the heat exchangers and metal vent
system may deteriorate.

Severe electrical shock, per-

• If a suspected malfunction occurs
with your oil control system, such as
the burner not lighting when it
should, refer to the “Shutting Down
Your Furnace” section and call your
dealer as soon as possible.

6. Open oil supply valve.
(See Fig. 7.)
When room temperature drops
below temperature selected on
the thermostat, the furnace will
be switched on automatically.
When room temperature reaches
the degree selected on the ther-
mostat, the furnace will be
switched off automatically.
CHECK AIR FILTER: Before
attempting to start your furnace, be
sure the furnace air filter is clean
and in place. See “Performing Rou-
tine Maintenance” section in this
manual. Then proceed as follows:
Some thermostats have a FAN
mode with 2 selections, AUTO
and ON. When thermostat is set
to AUTO, the furnace blower
cycles on and off, controlled by
the thermostat. In ON mode,
the furnace blower runs contin-
uously. This keeps the tempera-
ture level in your home more
evenly balanced. It also contin-
uously filters indoor air.
STEPS FOR STARTING
YOUR FURNACE
1. Open all warm air registers and
make sure that all return-air
grills are unobstructed.
7
7. Check all connections to ensure
there are no leaks.
2. If a humidifier is installed with
your system, open water supply
valve.
8. Set room thermostat to a tem-
perature slightly above room
temperature. This will auto-
matically signal the furnace to
start.
3. Make sure blower access door is
secured in place.
9. When the thermostat calls for
heat, power from the trans-
former energizes the fan control
board. The fan control ener-
gizes the ignition control. The
ignition control will automati-
cally light the burner.
4. Set your room thermostat to
lowest temperature setting.
(See Fig. 5.)
SHUTTING DOWN
YOUR FURNACE
Should you need to shut down your
furnace for service or mainte-
nance, you will need to turn the
furnace off. The following proce-
dures must be followed:
®
The electronic fan control auto-
matically turns on the blower.
The air moved over the heat ex-
changer by the blower is
warmed and passes through the
ducts to the room registers.
1. Set thermostat to lowest setting.
(See Fig. 8.)
®

5. Turn on electric power to
furnace. (See Fig. 6.)
This unit is equipped with con-
tinuous ignition control. If the
main burner does not ignite
within 30 sec from the call for
heat, the control will lock out.
The red button on top of the
control must be depressed for 3
sec in order to reset the control.

2. Turn off all electrical power to
the furnace. (See Fig. 9.)

WARNING
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning
could result in personal inju-
ry or death.
Turn off all electrical power to
furnace before performing
any maintenance or service
on unit.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution
may result in reduced unit
component life.
Never operate your furnace
without the air filters in place.
Doing so may damage the
furnace blower motor. An ac-
cumulation of dust and lint
on internal parts of your
furnace can cause a loss of
efficiency.
9
3. Close oil supply valve.
(See Fig. 10).
The air filter is installed in an ex-
ternal filter rack which is provided as
standard equipment with furnace.
To inspect, clean, and/or replace
air filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off electrical supply to fur-
nace. (See Fig. 11.)
2. Remove filter from external fil-
ter rack.
11
3. Inspect filter. If torn, replace it.
NOTE: If filter has been replaced
with an electronic air cleaner
(EAC), refer to the EAC Owner’s
Manual for maintenance informa-
tion.

CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution
may result in personal injury.
Although special care has
been taken to minimize sharp
edges, be extremely careful
when handling parts or
reaching into the furnace.
4. If applicable, turn off water sup-
ply to humidifier.
4. If filter is dirty, it must be re-
placed. If your furnace air filter
needs to be replaced, be sure to
use the same size and type of fil-
ter that was originally supplied.
Use furnace filter table for filter
size and filter rack flange dimen-
sions for return air duct.
5. If furnace blower will be neces-
sary for cooling system, remem-
ber to turn electric power back
on when needed for air condi-
tioning.
6. If furnace is being shut down be-
cause of a malfunction, call your
dealer as soon as possible.
FILTERING OUT
TROUBLE
Dirty air filters will cause a loss of
airflow in your duct system. When
excessive loss of airflow occurs,
the furnace may cycle on its safety
controls. If this condition is left
unattended, the furnace will even-
tually lock out. It is recommended
that furnace air filters be checked
every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned or
replaced as necessary.

room temperature?
• Is thermostat set on HEAT?
• Check fuses and circuit breakers.
Is electrical supply on?
• Is valve in oil supply pipe in open
position?
• Is the ignition control on the burn-
er not in lockout? The red button on
top of the control must be depressed
for 3 sec in order to reset the control.
• Inspect the return-air duct connec-
tions at the furnace to ensure it is
physically sound, sealed to the fur-
nace casing, and terminates outside
the space containing the furnace.
• Inspect electrical wiring, connec-
tions, and components for loose
connections.
6. Turn on electrical supply to
furnace.
A CHECK-UP
CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an impor-
tant investment in your family’s
comfort and your home’s value. To
keep it performing properly and as
a preventative to future problems,
have a trained service specialist
give your furnace a professional
check-up annually. The following
checklist can be used as a guideline
to proper service:
• Examine the physical support of
the furnace. Support should be
sound with no cracks, sagging, gaps,
etc. around the base.
• Check furnace for any obvious
signs of deterioration.
• Check for obstructions around the
vent termination.
• Check flue and secondary tube
passage ways including chimney —
clean if necessary.
• Change oil filter.
• Change nozzle.
• Check and adjust combustion and
draft.
• Inspect all vent piping inside struc-
ture for deterioration and vent termi-
nations outside the structure for
blockage.
If furnace still fails to operate, call
your service representative. For
your convenience, record furnace
product and serial numbers on page
2. Should you ever require service,
you will have ready access to the
information needed by your service
representative.
BEFOREYOU REQUEST
A SERVICE CALL
If your furnace is not operating or
not performing properly, you may
save the expense of a service call
by checking a few things yourself
before calling for service.
FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:
• Check for dirty air filters.
• Check for blocked return-air or
• Check oil pipes leading to and
inside of your furnace for leaks.
