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
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.
DIAGNOSTIC CHART
Refer to the Diagnostic Codes chart for assistance in determin-
ing the source of unit operational problems.
FAULT RECALL (96% Models Only)
The last five fault codes stored can be displayed on the
diagnostic LED. When the control is in standby mode (no
call for heat or cool), press the FAULT RECALL switch for
approximately two seconds or until the diagnostic LED turns
off. Release the switch and the LED will remain off for two
seconds. Then the fault codes will display beginning with
the most recent fault first with a two second pause between
codes. After the stored fault codes have all displayed, the
LED will remain off for two seconds and then turn on to
indicate return to normal status. While displaying the stored
fault codes, the control will ignore any new call for heat,
cool or fan.

WARNING
FAULT CODE RESET (96% Models Only)
The stored fault codes can be erased from memory. When
the control is in standby mode (no call for heat or cool),
press the FAULT RECALL switch for five to ten seconds or
until the diagnostic LED begins to rapid flash. When the
switch is released, the LED will turn off for two seconds to
indicate the codes are erased. After two seconds the LED
will turn on to indicate return to normal status. If the switch
is held pressed for over ten seconds the rapid flash will stop
and the LED will be on to indicate return to normal status.
RESETTING FROM LOCKOUT
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve igni-
tion after three attempts during a single call for heat. It is
characterized by a non-functioning furnace and a fault code
displayed. 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.
3. Manual thermostat cycle. Lower the thermostat so that
there is no longer a call for heat for 1 -20 seconds then
reset to previous setting.
NOTE: If the condition which originally caused the lockout still
exists, the control will return to lockout. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart for aid in determining the cause.

ANNUAL I NSPECTION
The furnace should be inspected by a qualified installer, or ser-
vice agency at least once per year. This check should be per-
formed at the beginning of the heating season. This will ensure
that all furnace components are in proper working order and that
the heating system functions appropriately. Pay particular atten-
tion to the following 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.
• Filters.
FILTERS
FILTER MAINTENANCE
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
required. When replacing a filter, it must be replaced with a
filter of the same type and size.
FILTER REMOVAL
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 me-
dia air filter or electronic air cleaner can be used as an alternate
filter. Follow the filter sizes given in the Recommended Mini-
mum 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.
HORIZONTAL UNIT FILTER REMOVAL
Filters in horizontal installations are located in the central return
register or the ductwork near the furnace.
To remove:
1. Turn OFF electrical power to furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from the central return register or
ductwork.
3. Replace filter(s) by reversing the procedure for removal.
4. Turn ON electrical power to furnace.
