OIL FURNACE  
USER’S INFORMATION MANUAL  
FOR THE OPERATION AND  
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR NEW  
OIL-FIRED FURNACE  
NOTE TO INSTALLER:  
THIS MANUAL MUST BE LEFT  
WITH THE EQUIPMENT USER.  
 
WELCOME TO A NEW GENERATION  
OF COMFORT  
FOR PROPER AND SAFE  
OPERATION OFYOUR FURNACE:  
Congratulations on the purchase of your new 80+%  
efficient oil furnace. If you are replacing an older, less  
efficient oil furnace, you may use 20% to 30% less oil.  
DO NOT place combustible materials, gasoline, and/  
or other flammable vapors or liquids on, against, or  
near the furnace or flue pipe.  
In order to achieve greater efficiency, your new fur-  
nace operates differently in some respects than your  
old furnace.  
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the fur-  
nace, air openings communicating with the area in  
which the furnace is installed, and the spacing around  
the furnace. These provide air for combustion and  
ventilation.  
One main difference between an older and newer oil  
furnace is in the operation of the oil burner. The new  
style retention head oil burner operates at twice the  
RPM, therefore the sound is different — not louder but  
probably a different pitch. This higher RPM delivers  
more air which burns the oil more efficiently.  
DO NOT store anything near or in contact with the  
furnace such as: spray or aerosol cans, rags, brooms,  
dust mops, vacuum cleaners or other cleaning tools,  
soap powders, bleaches, waxes or other cleaning com-  
pounds, plastic or plastic containers, gasoline, kero-  
sene, cigarette lighter fluid, dry cleaning fluids, or  
painting compounds.  
You will also find the main blower comes on sooner  
than before. This is done with efficiency in mind but  
also to keep heat exchanger temperatures within allow-  
able limits. The more efficient furnace design heats up  
faster requiring a shorter blower on time.  
!
WARNING  
Your new oil furnace blower is also sized for air con-  
ditioning and will deliver (even on heating speeds)  
more air than your old furnace. Depending on your ex-  
isting ductwork this could lead to a noticeable differ-  
ence in air noise. A change in ductwork could be  
required to reduce air noise, especially if air condition-  
ing is being added.  
Turn off the oil supply and electrical power  
to furnace before performing any mainte-  
nance or service on unit. Failure to take this  
precaution may result in personal injury  
due to electrical shock or uncontrolled oil  
leakage.  
Please read the remainder of this manual in order to  
familiarize yourself with the operation of your furnace.  
!
CAUTION  
A furnace that is installed in an insulated  
space must be kept free and clear of insulat-  
ing materials. After the furnace is installed,  
or whenever additional insulation is added,  
check that all combustion air intakes are  
free and clear and that all clearance dimen-  
sions are maintained. INSULATING MATE-  
RIALS MAY BE COMBUSTIBLE.  
IMPORTANT FACTS  
FORYOUR SAFETY  
Do not store or use gasoline or other flam-  
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of  
this or any other appliance.  
!
WARNING  
Do not use this furnace if any part has been  
under water. Immediately call a qualified  
service technician 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  
Improper installation, adjustment, alter-  
ation, service, or maintenance can cause in-  
jury or property damage. Refer to this  
manual. For assistance or additional infor-  
mation consult a qualified installer, service  
agency, or the oil supplier.

1. Excessive oil burner after drip and oil fumes.  
2. Sooting.  
!
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 accor-  
dance with existing electrical codes. Do not  
use oil piping as an electrical ground. Fail-  
ure to follow this warning could result in an  
electrical shock, fire, or bodily harm.  
3. Melted oil burner couplings and/or ignitor/relay  
control.  
4. A condition where air band or air shutter settings  
must be more open than normal to achieve proper  
combustion.  
5. Lockouts on start-up.  
HERE ARE A FEW DO’S AND  
DO NOT’S  
!
DO become familiar with the instructions.  
WARNING  
Return air must not be taken from the room  
in which the appliance is installed. All duct  
connections to the furnace must be airtight  
to avoid a “negative” pressure condition  
within the room. Incorrect ductwork termi-  
nation and sealing will create a hazardous  
condition which could lead to bodily harm.  
DO use filters. Check them periodically and make sure  
that they are clean.  
DO check to see that your home has adequate insula-  
tion, weatherstripping, caulking, and storm windows.  
Eliminating infiltration of outside air and drafts can save  
up to 40% of your fuel bill.  
DO NOT waste fuel by setting your thermostat too  
high. Energy conservation experts recommend daytime  
thermostat setting of 68° F, with a lower setting at night.  
!
CAUTION  
The ability to properly perform maintenance  
on this equipment requires certain mechan-  
ical skills and tools. If you are at all uncer-  
tain, contact your dealer for qualified  
maintenance and service.  
DO NOT turn off the furnace when you expect to be  
away for more than a day. Instead, lower the thermostat  
setting by a few degrees. You can then restore normal  
comfort level quickly and save fuel too.  
DO NOT block registers with furniture.  
DO NOT put a lamp, TV, or radio near your thermo-  
stat. This will cause it to give a false reading.  
The operation and care of your unit is simple and easy.  
By following these operating and maintenance proce-  
dures, you can expect to receive better, longer, and  
more reliable service from your new appliance.  
HERE’S HOWYOUR  
HEATING SYSTEM WORKS  
The furnace operates automatically. It is controlled by a  
thermostat which you set at the temperature most com-  
fortable to you. When the inside temperature drops be-  
low this setting, your thermostat starts the furnace.  
COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS  
Combustion air requirements become more important  
for your new furnace. More efficient units have lower  
flue temperatures and less natural draft. Especially  
with new homes and with older homes that have been  
weatherized (storm windows, vinyl siding, additional  
insulation, etc.) infiltration air may no longer be  
enough to supply the necessary combustion air to your  
furnace. In these cases outside air will need to be in-  
troduced into the furnace location or directly into the  
furnace vestibule. This can be accomplished by means  
of louvered openings, ductwork, or tubing.Your dealer  
or service technician has access to the necessary air  
requirements specified by the National Fire Protection  
Agency.  
When the thermostat calls for heat, power from the  
transformer energizes the fan control board. The fan  
control energizes the ignition control. The ignition con-  
trol automatically lights the burner.  
The electronic fan control automatically turns 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 regis-  
ters.  
When the thermostat is satisfied, the circuit is de-ener-  
gized and the primary control shuts off the burner. The  
blower continues to run until the selectable fan off time  
period has expired.  
Some symptoms of a lack of the proper amount of  
combustion air are:

The heat sensing switch performs as the furnace high  
temperature 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 relights  
the burner, however, unless the overheating condition is  
corrected, the furnace will continue to cycle on limit.  
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 previous section.) and checking for proper oil  
supply, proceed as follows.  
3. For a heating/cooling system, set the thermostat to  
HEAT and the fan toAUTO. Set the thermostat to the  
desired room temperature and turn on the electrical  
power to the furnace.  
This unit is equipped with an interrupted ignition elec-  
tronic 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. The control CAN-  
NOT be reset from the room thermostat.  
4. The burner should light and the system should be  
controlled by the thermostat.  
Turning OffYour Furnace  
Follow these simple procedures to put your furnace into  
retirement for the summer.  
HEATING  
Preparing Furnace For Operation  
Before attempting to put your furnace into operation for  
the heating season, you should perform the following  
procedures.  
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.  
2. Turn off all electrical power to the appliance.  
3. Turn the oil supply off.  
4. If applicable, turn off water supply to humidifier.  
!
WARNING  
5. If furnace blower will be necessary for cooling sys-  
tem, remember to turn electrical power back on when  
needed for air conditioning.  
If you do not follow these instructions exact-  
ly, a fire or explosion may result causing  
property damage, personal injury, or loss of  
life.  
MAINTAININGYOUR UNIT  
In order to keep your furnace running properly and at  
the efficiency for which it was designed, the furnace  
MUST be inspected and serviced once a year. Lack of  
yearly service could lead to poor furnace performance  
and damage to the furnace.  
1. Open all warm air registers and make sure that all  
return-air grilles are unobstructed.  
2. If a humidifier is installed with your system, open the  
water supply valve.  
Here are the things you should do and have your service  
technician do for you.  
3. Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.  
4. Turn on electric power to the furnace.  
5. Open the oil supply valve.  
Homeowner:  
1. Inspect and clean filter.  
2. Make sure the following areas are clear:  
A. Outlet and return registers.  
B. Air openings to furnace and furnace area.  
C. Chimney or flue exhaust.  
3. Set up yearly service.  
6. Check all connections to ensure there are no leaks.

tem, causes erratic performance of controls, and could  
result in damage to the motor or heat exchanger.  
1. Inspect filters at regular intervals depending upon dirt  
conditions. For new homes, check filters every week  
for 4 consecutive weeks. In all cases, inspect your  
filters at least every 3 to 4 weeks when the system is  
in constant operation. Replace 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 be-  
comes dirty, it can be cleaned with cold water and  
soap.  
Filters  
A filter is supplied with the furnace. It is NECESSARY  
THAT ALL FURNACES BE EQUIPPED WITH A  
FILTER.  
If a different type of filter is used, it must be an equiva-  
lent high airflow capacity.  
Be sure that the filter is thoroughly dry before installing  
back into the furnace.  
Lubricating Motors  
Direct drive motor and blower assemblies are factory  
lubricated and normally do not require oiling. If oiling  
is required, lubrication of the blower motor is to be per-  
formed only by a qualified service technician.  
Here is A Handy Checklist  
If your furnace fails to operate properly, rst check the  
following. 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 set to  
HEAT or COOL mode and the fan set to AUTO or  
ON (continuous fan operation).  
!
WARNING  
Never operate unit without a filter or with fil-  
ter access door removed. Failure to adhere  
to this warning could lead to a hazardous  
condition which could lead to equipment  
damage and bodily harm.  
2. Are the electrical power and oil supplies both on?  
3. Are the filters clean?  
4. Is the ignition control on the burner operational  
(not in lockout)? The red button on top of the  
control must be depressed for 3 sec in order to reset  
the control.  
Keeping Filters Clean  
As a homeowner, this is your most important responsi-  
bility. A dirty filter reduces the efficiency of your sys-  
If the answer to these questions isYES and the furnace  
still does not operate properly, call your authorized  
dealer for service.
