FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take
precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the
furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic
discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to
electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control, and the
person at the same electrostatic potential.
