IMPORTANT FACTS
Your furnace must have adequate airflow for efficient combustion and safe ventilation. Do not enclose it in an airtight room or “seal” it behind
solid doors.
2
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, damage to your furnace, or improper operation,
carefully follow these safety
rules
:
•
Keep the area around your furnace free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
3
•
Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
•
A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the furnace area when
installing the furnace or adding more insulation. Some materials may be combustible.
NOTE:
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water. 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.
NOTE:
The qualified installer or agency must use only factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories when modifying this product.
If the furnace is left unattended for an extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent
problems associated with NO HEAT, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before You Request a Service Call” section in this manual.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified personnel should
install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must be performed
by trained service personnel. Observe safety pre-cautions in this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or manuals, be
alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies
the most serious hazards which
will
result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which
could
result in personal
injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which
would
result in minor personal injury or product and property damage.
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface ignition system to light
the pilot each time the thermostat starts your furnace.
Follow these important safeguards:
•
Never attempt to light the pilot manually with a match or other source of flame.
