The brand got passed around like a hotcake!

Actually, I'm looking for a manual or some diagrams for the unit. Its my furnace and the local HVAC tech's don't want to clean the sooty firebox. I want to gauge if I can do the task myself.

I was able to talk to two actual techs and that was pretty much their concern. Apparently, there have been too many cases years ago in which they have cleaned older fireboxes and heat exchangers, find cracks or deterioration and then get accussed of creating them. That and I'm sure they are counting on me being another one of those homeowners who will give up and buy a new furnace from them.
