ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
This furnace is equipped with an electronic ignition device
which lights the burners. It also has a induced draft blower
to exhaust combustion products.

Keep both doors in place except for inspection and mainte-
nance. An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the
blower door is not in place.

Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified servicer to inspect the furnace
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
