PERFORMING ROUTINE 
MAINTENANCE

 

With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will 
operate economically and dependably. Instructions for 
basic maintenance follow. However, before beginning 
maintenance, follow these safety precautions:

 

FILTERING OUT TROUBLE

 

Dirty air filters will cause a loss of airflow in your duct 
system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the fur-
nace may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition 
is left unattended, the furnace will eventually lock out. 
It is recommended that the furnace air filters be checked 
every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned or replaced as necessary.

The air filters are located in the blower compartment 
installed in an internal filter rack which is provided as 
standard equipment with furnace. (See Fig. 2.) To
