Maintenance
1. At the start of the heating season...
Ÿ It is advisable to have your local furnace profes-
sional inspect and service your furnace for the
coming heating season.
Ÿ
The furnace, smoke pipe and chimney should be
cleaned and checked for repairs.
2. Emergency stops
Ÿ
Shut off all electrical power at the main electric
service entrance.
3. Smoke pipe, heat exchanger and secondary
heat exchanger
Ÿ
Do not burn green or freshly felled wood. If you
do, creosote and soot may build-up in the chim-
ney, smoke pipe and secondary heat exchanger.
This should be checked and cleaned several
times each heating season.
4. Turn on regular (primary) furnace once every
month to make sure it is functioning properly.
Cleaning the chimney, smoke pipe and heat
exchanger
On a regular schedule, check for creosote and soot
build-up in the chimney, smoke pipe and heat
exchanger. They must be kept clean.
Steel brushes are the safest for cleaning metal surfaces.
Salt solutions and some chemicals may damage metal
surfaces.
When cleaning chimney, obtain a stiff steel brush with
an extension handle and insert brush into chimney from
the top. Continue brushing and sweeping downward
until the full length of the chimney is cleaned. Open the
clean-out door at the bottom of the chimney and sweep
the debris into a plastic bag or container. When clean-
ing the smoke pipe or the heat exchanger, use a steel
brush.
IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
1. Alert everyone in the house.
2. Call Fire Department immediately.
3. Shut any doors and air inlet dampers and
draft control.
This should take no longer than a few seconds.
DO NOT use your furnace until a professional inspec-
tion has been made of your furnace, smoke pipe and
chimney.
