GENERALINFORMATION
This furnace has been designed and
built to provide many years of safe
and dependable home comfort, providing it is properly installed and maintained. With regular maintenance, this
furnace will operate satisfactorily year
after year.Abuse, improper use, and/
or improper maintenance can shorten
the life of the furnace and create hazards foryou. Please read this manual
carefully to familiarize yourself with
operation, maintenance, and safety
procedures for this furnace.
A regular service and maintenance
schedule should be established to
insure efficient and safe operation of
the furnace. See Section 5 for maintenance procedures and schedules.

ABOUT YOUR CENTRAL
FURNACE SYSTEM
NORDYNE has been involved in the
design of products for the manufactured home industry since the first
manufactured home or trailer was
built.
NORDYNE originated the sealed
combustion system, which separates
the furnace combustion system from
the living area of the home and is now
a standard for the manufactured home
industry.
NORDYNE engineers developed the
first central heating system and the
first central air conditioner for manufactured homes.

To avoid possible equipment
damage,
fire, or death, the
following
instructions must be
observed
regarding

requirements,
and operation
procedures.
Inspect the furnace installation to ensure that the vent and combustion air
intake pipes have been installed properly.

If you wish to cool your home automatically with a central air conditioning system investigate the excellent
NORDYN E cooling systems available
from your heating and cooling contractor. These systems are designed
to work best with your NORDYNE
furnace and have been carefully engineered to deliver optimal performance when mated with NORDYNE
manufactured home furnaces.
NORDYNE also offers water heaters, fireplaces and ventilating systems specifically designed for manufactured housing applications. Ask
your manufactured home retailer, your
heating and cooling contractor, or your
distributor for more information. Write
directly to the factory (PO Box 46911,
St. Louis, MO 63146) if you are unable to locate a source for NORDYNE
manufactured housing products in
your area.

1.

Furnace

Location

The furnace area and the vicinity of
any other gas appliance must be kept
clear and free of combustible materials,
gasoline, and otherflammable vapors
and liquids. Do not store or use
flammable
items such as paint,
varnish, or strippers in the vicinity of
the furnace.
Do not use the furnace closet or area
next to the furnace as a storage area.
This area must be kept clear, clean,
and free of lint. The furnace must also
be kept clear of loose or exposed
insulation materials.
Examine the
furnace area when the furnace is
installed or when insulation is added.

may be

Do not use this furnace if any part has
been underwater. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect
the furnace and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
Familiarize yourself with the controls
that shut off the gas and electrical
power to the furnace, tf the furnace is
to be shut down for an extended period
of time, turn off both the gas and
electrical power.
For your safety
always turn off both the gas and
electrical power before performing
service or maintenance on the furnace.
2. Combustion
Air Supply
A furnace needs an adequate supply
of combustion and ventilation air for
properand safe operation. Followthe
installation instructions included with
the furnace to properly vent air to the
combustion air inlet and exhaust the
products of combustion to the outside
from the exhaust vent.
If the furnace is operated with a
restricted combustion air supply, the
pressure switch will open, turning off
the gas supply to the burners. (See
Figure 1). DO NOT install a jumper
wire across this switch to defeat its
function.
If this switch must be
replaced,

flame roll-out control is a manually
resettable device (See Figure 1 ). DO
NOT install a jumper wire across this
switch to defeat its function. DO NOT
reset the control without identifying
and correcting the fault condition which
caused the control to trip. If this switch

4. Vent System
The furnace
must always be
connected to an approved vent pipe
to carry the furnace combustion
products outdoors. At the beginning
and end of each heating season,
inspect the outdoor vent terminal
closely with aflashlight to determine if
any of the conditions listed under the

3. Return Air Supply
For upflow models, the return air
opening is located in the bottom of the
furnace. For downflow models, the
return air opening is located at the top
of the furnace. The floor or platform
on which the furnace is mounted must
provide sound physical support of the
furnace with no gaps, cracks, or
sagging between the furnace and floor
or platform.
The circulating
air
ductwork must not be connected to
any other heat producing device such
as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. Doing
so may result in fire, explosion,
personal injury, carbon monoxide
poisoning, or property damage.

5.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance is most important
to achieve the best performance from
this furnace and should be performed
by a qualified service technician.
Follow the maintenance schedule (see
Table 1) and the following instructions
for years of safe, trouble free operation.

Do not place combustible
materials on or against
the
furnace cabinet.
Do not store gasoline or any
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of the
furnace.
Annually inspect the furnace,
ductwork, and vent system for
signs of physical deterioration.
Change or replace the air filters
monthly during any period
when the circulating blower is
operating regularly.
Always replace the doors on
the furnace after servicing or
cleaning/changing the filters.
Do not operate the furnace
without all doors and covers in
place, except to check burner
operation.
Avoid operating the furnace
when windows and doors are
open.
Be sure that the thermostat is

components,
resulting in a

damage, and possible fire.
properly installed and is not
being affected by drafts or heat
from lamps orotherappliances.
Air Filter(s) --An air filter is supplied
with the furnace as shipped from the
factory. The filter must be removed
and cleaned monthly during the
heating season to ensure proper
furnace operation. New or newly
renovated homes may require more
frequent
changing
until
the
construction dust has been removed.
Always replace the filter with a filter of
the same size and type as the filter
being removed.

Use an air filter in the return air duct to
maintain a clean heat exchanger.

m

Always replace the door(s) on the
furnace after servicing or cleaning/
changing the filters. Do not operate the
furnace without the door(s) in place.
Lubrication -- The bearings in the
circulating air blower motors used in
these furnaces are pre-lubricated and
sealed at the factory. Nofurtheroiling
of the bearings is required for the life
of the motor.
Blower Compartment-The blower
compartment
should be cleaned
monthlyduring the heating and cooling
seasons to remove any dirt and lint
that may have accumulated in the
compartment or on the blower and
motor. Buildup of dirt and lint on the
blower
and motor can create
excessive loads on the motor resulting
in higher than normal operating
temperaturesand possible shortened
service life.
Burner Maintenance

-- Check the

burner flames at the start of every
heating season. Set the thermostat to
a temperature setting above the room
temperature. Remove the top door
from the furnace and visually inspect

the burner through the view hole to
make sure that the fla me is drawn into
the center of the heat exchanger tube
(See Figure 2). In a properly adjusted
burner assembly, the flame bends
down and to the right at the end of the
heat exchanger tube, and the end of
the flame will be out of sight around
the bend. The flame color should be
blue, however some light yellow
streaks may occur on the outer
_ortions of the flame.

Inspect
the burners,
mounting
brackets, and all other parts in the
vestibule for signs of deterioration.
The burner vestibule should be
vacuumed
clean and inspected
annually.

These furnaces are equipped with

switch or flame sensor, will shut the
furnace down.
