GMVC9 GCVC9 Installation Instructions

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace away from the control. Any tools held in a
person’s hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do
not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
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.

WARNING
Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart in the back of this manual
for assistance in determining the source of unit operational prob-
lems. The dual 7-segment LED display will display an error code
that may contain a letter and number. The error code may be
used to assist in troubleshooting the unit.
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 E
0 code dis-
played on the dual 7-segment display. If the furnace is in “lock-
out”, 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.

WARNING
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.
