HOW YOUR GAS FURNACE WORKS
Your furnace is a very easy appliance to take for granted. Season after season, it sits there in your home, keeping you warm and comfortable. For this reason, you may never have given much thought to the way your furnace operates. In order to get the safest and most efficient operation from your furnace, though, you should understand how your fur- nace does its job.
When you set your thermostat to provide more heat in your home, you are starting the heating cycle of the furnace. First, the inducer motor starts to purge the heat exchanger of any remaining gas- ses. Next, the hot surface ignitor glows and after a warm-up period the gas valve opens and ignition occurs. A short time later the blower starts and distributes the warm air throughout the home. When the temperature set on your thermostat is reached, the gas valve closes, the main burners are turned off, and the blower continues to run until the remain- ing warm air in the system is distributed. When the blower stops, the heating cy- cle has ended.
KEEP THE FURNACE AREA CLEAR
NEVER . . . use the area around your furnace as a storage area for items which could block the normal flow of air. This flow of air is required for ventilation of the various furnace components.
WARNING: Do not block or ob- struct air openings:
1.On the furnace.
2.Air openings communicating with the air in which the
furnace is installed.
3.The spacings around the furnace.
NEVER . . store flammable materials of any kind near your furnace. Gasoline, sol- vents, and other volatile liquids should be stored only in approved containers outside your home. These materials vaporize eas- ily and are extremely dangerous.
NEVER . . . store cleaning materials near your furnace. Materials such as bleaches, detergents, powdered cleans- ers, etc., can cause corrosion of the heat exchangers.
WARNING: Insulating materials may be flammable.
CAUTION: When a furnace is installed in an attic or other insu- lated space, or if insulation is added, examine the furnace area to ensure that the furnace is kept clear and free of insulation.
