Cleaning Heat Exchanger
If cleaning the heat exchanger becomes necessary,
follow the below procedures and refer to Figure 1 when
disassembling unit. Use papers or protective covering in
front of furnace while removing heat exchanger assembly.
1. Turn off electrical and gas supplies to the furnace.
2. Remove the furnace access panels.
3. Disconnect the 2 wires from the gas valve.
4. Remove gas supply line connected to gas valve.
Remove the burner box cover (if equipped) and
remove gas valve/manifold assembly.
5. Remove sensor wire from sensor. Disconnect 2-pin
plug from the ignitor.
6. Disconnect wires from flame roll-out switches.
7. Disconnect combustion air intake pipe. It may be
necessary to cut the existing pipe to remove burner
box assembly.
8. Remove four burner box screws at the vestibule panel
and remove burner box. Set burner box assembly
aside.
NOTE: If necessary, clean burners at this time. Follow

10. Disconnect condensate drain line from the cold end
header box.
11. Disconnect condensate drain tubing from flue collar.
Remove screws that secures the flue collar into place.
Remove flue collar. It may be necessary to cut the
exiting exhaust pipe for removal of the fitting.
12. Mark and disconnect all combustion air pressure
tubing from cold end header collector box.
13. Mark and remove wires from pressure switch assembly.
Remove the assembly. Keep tubing attached to
pressure switches.
14. Disconnect the plug from the combustion air inducer.
Remove two screws which secure combustion air
inducer to collector box. Remove combustion air
inducer assembly. Remove ground wire from vest
panel.
15. Disconnect the condensate drain line.
16. Remove cold end header box.
17. Remove electrical junction box from the side of the
furnace.
18. Mark and disconnect any remaining wiring to heating
compartment components. Disengage strain relief
bushing and pull wiring and bushing through the hole
Hose
in the blower deck.
19. Remove the primary limit from the vestibule panel.
20. Remove two screws from the front cabinet flange at
the blower deck. Spread cabinet sides slightly to allow
clearance for removal of heat exchanger.
21. Remove screws along vestibule sides and bottom
which secure vestibule panel and heat exchanger
assembly to cabinet. Remove two screws from blower
rail which secure bottom heat exchanger flange.
Remove heat exchanger from furnace cabinet.
22. Back wash heat exchanger with soapy water solution
or steam. If steam is used it must be below 275°F
(135°C) .
23. Thoroughly rinse and drain the heat exchanger. Soap
solutions can be corrosive. Take care to rinse entire
assembly.
24. Reinstall heat exchanger into cabinet making sure
that the clamshells of the heat exchanger assembly
is engaged properly into the support bracket on the
blower deck. Remove the indoor blower to view this
area through the blower opening.
25. Re-secure the supporting screws along the vestibule
sides and bottom to the cabinet.
26. Reinstall cabinet screws on front flange at blower
deck.
27. Reinstall the primary limit on the vestibule panel.
28. Route heating component wiring through hole in
blower deck and reinsert strain relief bushing.
29. Reinstall electrical junction box.
